OK... I know that I have started at least two differerent threads about 3rd-party cables for my Sennheiser HD650's . Sorry about that, but I of course am a fickle person and would like to hear other people's opinions.
This time, a shout out to all classical music lovers out there in Head-Fi, and I know there are a bunch out there! I've been burning in my Zu Mobius cable for around 2 weeks now, and it's really kickin' tail, finally. The bass decided to show up to the party late, but when it did, it made it's presence known!
Yet, of course, the devil on my shoulder keeps popping up and asking if the Zu Mobius is the best aftermarket cable I can have for classical music. After all, I do listen to lots of different sorts of music, but the genre I keep coming back to listen with headphones is certainly classical. I listen to lots of different sorts, from Gould's Bach piano stuff to opera, to string quartets. One thing that I was craving before I had the Mobius was a little better-defined treble--on strings and cymbals, especially. I also loved the detail coming from the HD650's, but knew that I could pull more out of those cans with a different cable.
So here I am, with Zu in hand, Perreaux SXH1 in the other, and my soon-to-be-replaced Sony CDP-211 craptacular CD player, wondering if I indeed made a good choice.
Yes, the Mobius sounds great to me, much better than the stock cable did. But at the same time I can see where some others have stated that the midrange is now the dominant force, where before it was more balanced.
In short, fellow classical music lovers with HD650s out there, talk to me!
