The RAL is by-far-and-away the best HD5/6xx cable, IMHO. They easily bettered the Cardas and Headphile BlackMaxx V2 for me. Others have reported the RAL's superiority over the likes of Moon, Equinoxe and Zu Mobius. The RAL is clean, dynamic, extended and detailed, really waking up the HD650 like nothing else I've tried or heard reported elsewhere.

I'm very happy with my Soloz Cardas cable upgrade...great value and significant improvements. Couldn't be happier with my HD650s now in my system.

A vote for the APS v3 here. I didn't notice a change in detail but the soundstage, bass tightness and treble extension are much improved. Not cheap but worth it because it really does complete the 650s.

another nod for the APS v3 great cable the SAA would also be another solid choice. While I understand the RAL love didn't they have unresolved customer issues or am I thinking of someone else?

I ordered and pre-paid for RAL (Revelation Audio Labs, Inc./Brad Vojtech) CryoSilver 3 meter Sennheiser cable and 3 meter extension cable (stereo-stereo plugs) on March 22, 2007, and I still have not received the cables! I would really like it if Brad would mail me my cables soon. I am losing faith quickly, however, and I feel a bit neglected. I will post here on Head-Fi if and when I receive the cables.

Easy choice. APS. I must have spent over a grand on recabling my headphones.. Infact I feel my headphones are losing out if I don't get them recabled by Alex.. I want all my headphones to get recabled by ASP.. Alex is the only person I want touching my headphones.

Terrific cable, but looks like price jumped up significantly recently. Still worth to consider, you may work out a deal with Zu if contact them or just grab used one from FS section.
