Can't agree more for your comment here, and surely I think I will go for a silver cable to make the sound be more balanced. With the stock cable, the heavier bass makes it not an ideal to listen the classical music.

If you amplify the sound as a whole and then suppress the highs and mids the result will be more bass.The internal resistance of the cable combined with imperfections in the material influence the different frequencies. If the higher frequencies are suppressed the lower ones will be louder. Copper suppresses more high frequencies than silver does. In this way a copper cable "produces" bass.
Thanks for the input. Of course, some cables can make it seem as if there is more bass. The way you point out is one out of two. The other one is comprising the whole bass spectrum into a boomy something. The less detail there is in the bass reproduction, the bigger the bass can appear, when bass drum, bass, low guitar notes etc. all get thrown in together. However, in neither case is there anyting added. What really happens is that something is LOST and as a result you get the impression of massive bass.

[QUOTE=Herandu;2855417]to be honest with you, I think the HD650 is highly over rated. It is relaxed listening perhaps, but the frequency response and dynamic range is not short of laughable. My Denon HP1000 wipes the floor clean with my HD650, and anyone with a HP1000 knows what I am talking about.[/QUOTE

Can't help but wonder what kind of source you use. The higher the quality, the more appreciation for the HD 650, I am sure. It is not for nothing that some of the most respected reviewers in the world of High end audio consider them one out of 3 contenders for the title of best cans ever (the other two being the AKG 701 and the Grado top of the line).
