I would be interested in an after market cable for the AD but more to add flexibility and reduce a touch of weight.

While the FAW Noir is more flexible, the weight is about the same as stock I think. The Q cable could be what you are looking for :)

Yeah, just a bit.
 
 
I like how those look!
Any with the correct terminations? Links?
 
 
Compared to most others?! lol :wink:
(i.e. remember that the Mad Dogs came with the V-moda cable...)

Most of my aftermarket cables are heavier, but yes compared to designated portable cables I can see how they can be HEAVY...

No lie, the AD's cables are HEAVY.

I had imagined they are. Compare to the V-Moda cable included with the Mad Dogs. Single ended, very thin and light, hardly adds any weight at all. The new cables on the Alpha Dogs look to be much more substantial. Higher build quality, dual entry, balanced connectors going into the cups. Thankfully I have no issue with heavy headphones.

Steve Eddy from Q Audio makes fantastic cables. I have the one cable that you see there and Steve makes adapters to go from mini xlr to Senn to others. I know that he ordered the connections for the AD and has already made some adapters. Highly recommended.

Probably getting ahead of myself because I haven't received my email about upgrading to the Alpha Dogs yet, but if I send my Mad Dogs to be upgraded will I be charged import taxes on the $600 cost of the Alpha Dogs or just the $300 upgrade cost?

We will be declaring the value of the upgrade services at $300 (or $200 for balanced owners).  Upgrade notices will start to go out at the end of next week.

Cheers!

I did not make it to order an Alpha Dog in this year but in the next one or two weeks, too bad I will miss the extended warranty and many benefits by ordering before the end of 2013. Anyway, it's ok, at least I kept my promise that I will purchase an Alpha Dog. I am a man who keeps my words (70-80% I think
