10 mins into a new pair.
These just came in:

Yes, the cable really is that bad. Luckily it’s the newer HIFIMAN series with 3.5mm connectors so I have a few cables around from the Focal Stellias.
Compared with my HE-560:

I’m finding the pads aren’t as comfortable as what’s on the HE-560 so might swap those around. As for power requirements, it’s only a little bit more than the HE-560 (so 10 o’clock for HE-560 to 12 o’clock for HE6SE). This is with a TCA HP-1.
I was wondering if the community was looking at the new Tom Christian Audio amp. Tom is a boutique builder in Canada. https://www.tomchr.com
