Jeepster Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Just curious what people are using in place of the OEM cable for the 650. Quote

Hopstretch Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I haven't listened to my 650s since I tried the combo of 600s and Enigma Apex. Quote
Spiug31 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Canare L-4E5C, better than the stock when fed single-ended from my mini-dacs' 1/4" but no proper amp yet to drive them proprely so YMMV. Quote
diebenkorn Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I haven't listened to my 650s since I tried the combo of 600s and Enigma Apex. X2 also tried headphile cable also, not for me. Quote
zippy2001 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Equinox HD650LE cable sounds good to me, but i have not tried other cables. Quote
n_maher Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Equinox HD650LE cable sounds good to me, but i have not tried other cables. I liked it when I heard it. Quote
The Monkey Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I've got a Cardas cable from Nate that I balanced. Quote

deepak Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 When I had an HD650- stock cable, stock cable balanced and Cardas blue color cable. Quote
RockCity Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 I just got the HD650 over the weekend and I was wondering about replacing the cable. I'm not particularly fond of the elastic stock cable. If any DIYer have a spare cable then I'll be interested in buying it-or, I can pay you if you have time to build one. I don't believe in cable magic, but I like strong workmanship from places such as Blue Jeans. Help appreciated. Quote
Asr Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 SAA Equinox, back when I owned 650s. Seems like ages ago. I'll never buy an SAA cable again, down with SAA and their deceptive marketing. Can anyone honestly believe the singular "Equinox" cable is "specifically formulated" for the Grado RS1, Senn HD650, AKG K701, et al? That is just an outright lie and blatantly deceptive marketing like that really turned me off. I don't care how good it sounds, the Equinox cable is snake oil. Quote
hYdrociTy Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 ^spliced connectors(up until recent i believe), priciest solution that somehow was universally accepted as the best senn cable EVAR... audiophiles are particularly prone to shitty photoshopped pictures, sparse websites, the concept that audio is "art" and obscene prices...no wonder the cable is referenced as the cable of choice in almost all published and online audio review media. especially 6moons...
