Here are the 650's with Toxic Cables Silver Widow's....They made a very positive and noticeable difference. YMMV....
 
 

 

 
 
 

 
That looks nice but that metal chunk on the cable can easily scratch or damage your headphones. What is that metal chunk anyway?

It is the splitter.... It is very light

What headphone stand is that? It looks perfect for these headphones

 
I think its a Macbook Pro.  Kinda pricey to use it for a stand.......

Well if I bought an after market cable, thats the one I would buy.
My Thunderpants have a simple mogami with a neutrik jack. Shorter than the 650s cable and doesn't get caught on every corner. I'd probably go with something similar. Longbowbbs has the nicest looking cable but its too fancy for my rig. I don't need my cables looking better than my headphones and amps. :wink:

Nice cable, but its the tube amp I'd love to know more about.  I'm not sure how to refer to it, but it makes the Crack look like David Banner.....

The amp is a Decware CSP2+. ( www.decware.com) It is a Pre-amp that is also a terrific HD650/HD800 amp. I have it outfitted with a pair of stock Russian 6N1P output tubes and a Genelax 6922 input tube. The rectifier is a USAF-596 with a 2359Glenn made octal to quad adapter. This is a fantastic amp for Sennheiser HP's.

Pretty sure this is it:

http://www.decware.com/newsite/TABOO.htm

No...This is the Taboo MK III....
 

 
It is a great amplifier that pairs with the CSP2+. The Taboo was designed with the Audeze LCD-2 in mind. You can drive 2 SE HP's plus either one 3 pin XLR or 2 4 pin XLR balanced HP's at the same time! You can also have speakers hooked up too. The amp came out in March.

alittle off topic, but wats the reason for pairing it with the CSP2+...is that another amp? 
the taboo wont stand alone?  ( saving my money for one of these...dunno which one..hmmm)
