Just loving these new cans! The stock cable is already burned-in, but I'm thinking the sound could be even mo' better with an upgraded cable.

Anyone have any experience or suggestions for a cable upgrade?

    Stock cables suck on the HD 650's. I made my own and it makes a huge difference. Frank has good stuff.

    I've not tried Franks, nor can I see what cable his standard is using. I have tried both Canare and Mogami. Mogami with no doubt. W2534.
