Checked the Fedex tracking, it has arrived!!! Incidentally, my modded NS500V should be arriving today as well. And the Moon-audio DH Lab BL1's interconnects arrived yesterday. Tonight will be their first dance together! Will post pics later on tonight.

Mine should be shipping tonight for tomorrow delivery. I will be using it on a pair of 650's and a LaRocco PPA. I needed a longer cable and instead of buying an extension I just decided to "ZU" it.
I hope it makes a nice difference.

rsaavedr,

Sounds like you are going to be into some great listening.

FedEx impressed me to getting the Zu Mobius for my 650s all the way to Ireland in 3 days recently.

Enjoy

Ok here are some pics, sorry it took me this long, didn't return home till very late, started taking these pics basically at midnight.

The Mobius is really a beautiful cable no doubt. I connected everything together already, it was indeed hard to get the connectors in. Once in I took them out and then in again, 2nd time was easier. I had my brasso ready for those pure copper little pins, but read on the brasso instructions "Don't use on aluminum", and the connectors are made of aluminum. So didn't use it at all, just plugged them in without any cleaning. They looked perfectly clean anyway.

The Moon-audio DH Lab BL1's are very nice looking cables too, in particular the connectors, they exude build quality.

Well most of this needs serious breakin. The source now is a modded NS500V instead of my receiver decoding the PS2's optical digital out. The interconnects now are these BL1's instead of Monster 400 MKII. And the headphone cable is the Zu instead of the stock. Brief impressions after sufficient break-in.

The new pieces breaking-in already:

Yeah, what he said. Matter of fact I'm going to take some pictures too...... Nevermind, compared to the quality of your camera, mine will look like something brown.
Here's a little mini review after listening for 5-10 minutes
Everytime I see one of your pics, I am amazed.

We must be a bunch of insomniacs--Why are we all up at this hour posting on Headfi ?

PS I hope I do not have to struggle to plug these cables in. That is one of the things I asked these guys in Utah before ordering. They seemed to have said that 95% don't have much of a problem, and that the cause is varying tolerances by Sennheiser in their plug sockets. Huh???
