Well, I prefer my 45$ Bling Bling Dock to my 185$ Jumbo Cryo Dock when I use HD650s...

Do not misunderstand me, the Jumbo Cryo is a WONDERFUL cable, but it's a warm sounding cable and coupled with the warm HD650s the result is a bit too warm/mellow for my tastes... very euphonic but sometimes sleep inducing. Lacks involvment and sometimes sounds a bit "fuzzy"

On the other side the silver Bling Bling dock sorts of opens things up with the warm/mellow HD650: more sparkle in the highs, a bit tighter bass and a more alive, engaging sound...

Do you prefer brighter/colder ICs/cables with your HD650 too?

Yes. I use homemade hybrid (copper/silver) ICs and the Zu Mobius cable (sort of hybrid as well), alternatively the Silver Dragon. Silver does the HD 650 good, IMO.

Yes, I think silver is very good for HD650. I have Revelation Audio Labs silver cable for my HD650 and my interconnects are silver plated copper (check my signature).

I think I'll go for a Cotton Dock (6 silver wires insulated with cotton) which should be a bling bling on steroids...
Silver is good for HD650? Then let there be silver. One cotton dock, Ken, please. (-wallet runs to hide under the bed-)
