Default Need advices on cables for HD 650

Just ordered my first HD 650(not received yet) .I have heard so much about recabling HD 650 will make difference but since I haven't got mine yet and I don't really have any other cable on hand so I wouldn't know. However,I am really tempted by the idea of recabling HD 650.So far I've been looking at three different cables:Zu Mobius,Silver Dragon and Equinox.Which one goes better with HD 650?
Thanks

From memory:
The Zu damn near has it all: best sparkle, resolution, dynamics, and bass. Basically you up the musicality, fun-factor, and resolution. The Equinox was lacking serious fun factor for me....tonally it sounded like the stock cable and that's not what I was looking for. Some swear by the Equinox though...maybe I didn't give mine enough time. The Silver Dragon I've only listened to briefly; it was pretty impressive though. I rated it just a hair behind the Zu, though it may exceed it in some areas.

I sold my HD650 and all cables (additionally owned the Cardas, Clou Red, and Headphile Black Silver) over a year ago, but now I have the Senns heading back to me This time I'll have the Zu, Silver dragon, and a Blue dragon (which I've previously only heard directly out of a Benchmark DAC1 in balanced configuration). This time the HD650 will only be used with vinyl

For my tastes it looks like the Zu and Silver Dragon are it.

There is another thread going on at the same time. It was started by Kausham, and can be found at: Closed Headphones Suggestions
