I have enjoyed audio for many years. 2 channel in college then surround sound, home theater 7.1 and now recently I have returned to 2 channel audio as a nice escape from the daily grind. My current home setup is limited for speakers so I decided to focus on headphones. I had a pair of Sennheiser headphone many years ago and enjoyed them very much. So, I picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD650's to begin my return to upper-Fi audio.
I had an opportunity in college to sell high end gear and I met the folks at Vampire wire. They were my introduction into custom cables and how they make a discernible positive difference. So, when I began looking for a cable upgrade for my 650's and I came across a new thread here on Head-Fi introducing Toxic Cables, I was interested. I liked the look of them and the thought behind Frank's wire attributes. The Silver Poison's appealed to me as I had always liked silver but they can be very brittle in the high end. The Silver Poison's small addition of gold offered an intriguing way of accessing the benefits of silver without the sibilance at the top end. So, at 10:00PM CST I ordered them.....That would be 4:00 AM London time.....
About 10 minutes later I get a PM from Frank acknowledging the order and making sure he was clear on my preferences....
Order taken and Paypal paid I set back to wait for delivery. No wait is longer than the one for a new audio toy, but eventually they arrived.


Buying an accessory for an existing device can be challenging, but when the accessory costs nearly as much as the device it does give you pause....After some burn in time, I can report that these cables are a clear improvement on the stock HD650 cables.
Here is my review of the Toxic Cable Silver Poison's:

Lot's of competition for your audio dollar these days. We are fortunate that there are a number of terrific MOT (Member if the Trade) active participants here on Head-Fi. They have passion and commitment to their craft and business. Some of them go above and beyond in their passion and support. Frank is one of the best. Ask his advice, order his products. They will make a positive difference in your audio enjoyment. That is all I could ever ask of any product.
Highly and enthusiastically recommended.....
