Default Alessandro MS PRO Recabling

Yes those can be done. As these are built through Grado these are handled the same way as the Grado phones. Full Warranty will remain in tact. We would recommend the Black Dragon as the best option for this phone.
5ft Black Dragon headphone cable with 1/4" Furutech FP-704 Plug installed: $250
10ft Black Dragon headphone cable with 1/4" Furutech FP-704 Plug installed: $275
15ft Black Dragon headphone cable with 1/4" Furutech FP-704 Plug installed: $300
20ft Black Dragon headphone cable with 1/4" Furutech FP-704 Plug installed: $325
Add $25 for XLRs
Add $100 for premium Furutech FP-601 Rhodium XLRs.

Shipping based on zip code. Contact us direct to place the order.

That´s great. But the Alessandro is another headphone with a different character than Grado. Have you tested the headphones with the cables or did you base it on the Grados?

What are the main difference in sound Black vs Blue vs Silver?

The Black Dragon is still the best option for this phone. Yes we have done numerous pairs.
Black is full bodied, warm, but not as warm and lush as say the Cardas, With lots of weight.
Blue Is neutral, detailed and well defined.
Silver is too forward on this phone. It has lots of speed and clarity wih lots of air.

Awesome.

It sucks that there it is almost impossible to test high-end headphones with good equipment in Sweden. Buying things on feeling doesn't feel all to safe.

After reading what you said about the cables the blue-dragon seems to be the best for me. I like when the sound is "cold" and neutral rather than warm and sweet. I like when the bass i just there, rather than taking over the scene. It should just be there in the background keeping the rhythm while a neutral and "stiff" sound will stand for the rest.

I like it best when nothing stands out, and when the music is feeling "dead" rather than "alive".

Still 1˝weeks left till I get my paycheck, let's see what headphone it is that stands victorious!

Yes based on your comments Blue is a good choice.

Okey, got my payment now.

Headphones: 700$
Cable: 200$ ? (Blue-Dragon 5ft, furutech 1/4" plug)
Shipping to Sweden: ?$
High swedish tax: ?$

The swedish custom takes 25% of what the product is worth. The question is if the product is a 200-300$ + shipping cable or 700 $ headphones with 200-300$ cable + shipping.
