Is there way to know what cables from ebay are genuine V-Moda or is there another retailer who ships to EU?
THESE SOUND WONDERFUL.
I agree that build quality doesn't seem very good but what more can you ask for $300?
The sound is above $300, and I can say some things sound better on these than they do on the highly praised HD650.

Thank you for your reply.
$350.00 here in AU when I purchased them. We get seriously screwed on pricing. Yes, I agree they do sound good however my ears are slightly bigger than the cups and they are in addition very shallow cups at that. I can get the L1's for $130.00 landed which is why I am asking the question re L1's vs HP50's. If the SQ is close and say about 3-4 more db of bass, the large cups and build quality of the L1's compared to the NAD's may make it a compelling reason to purchase. I have 4 days to make up my mind!!
Cheers.
I would buy it from a place with a good return policy and then compare if I was in your situation.
Sure it looks nasty, but works like a charm
Put a glue a little inside the hole and a little on the metallic part, then insert it and hold several minutes. Then you can put it aside, and wait for an hour before you can use them.
No brainer - just a glue, you know. But a really strong one.
Does anyone have any experience with cable upgrades for the NADs? I just saw this pure silver cable on ebay, claiming for sound:
- Air and transparency
- More precise and articulated highs
- Impression of 'speed' across the midrange
- Individual instruments will radiate from their own space
- Needs 100 hours burn in

Now, some of that I would be skeptical of, like cables needing burn in, but I have heard that pure silver does change the sound signature of some cans, especially the highs and I'm wondering whether this might just compliment the somewhat rolled off top end of the NADs. Don't get me wrong, I love my NADs as they are, but the thought of a little more extensions and openness up top might just be the icing on the cake, no?
£74 seems a lot of money to waste on a a cable though if it does nothing!

I would go with this model from Forza Audio Works. Less than half the price. Better build quality and of course it's Matthew. A top bloke who has been looking after Head.fi'ers for some time. The order process does not specifically mention the HP50 but he can do it as I have already asked him via email and will be getting one myself eventually.

Plenty more options available.

Cheers.
Thanks for the link, there's lots of products on there to glean my interest! These are not pure silver though, are they? It was the very qualities of the pure silver cable I posted that interested me.
