Review: Bellatone Reference Cable for the HD800
INTRODUCTION This is my first after market cable for a full size phone, and while I have had some experience with after market cables for IEM’s, this is kind of a new world for me.

Vinnie a petition to take into account when you mod the new classic
Vinnie I really wish you can mod the 6 Gen so we can use the same Alo cables designed for the 5.5 gen. I mean I spent more than U$400 on those cables (Supper Cotton Dock and RCA to Mini Dock) so it would probably make me think twice if I have to purchase new cables again. What are the chances...- Bolardito
