I also picked up (another) a pair of 2.5s. I would have preferred red but they're practically free at ~$350. This pair of polished black will be the backup pair to my brushed nickel :)

Oh and BTW @jmills8 you should have worked out a commission deal first :wink:

@hawaiibadboy you could hit up doublehelixcables.com and ask if they can get their hands on the connector you need. Their prices are similar to the other site linked earlier.


I bought

Sometimes it's crazy to me to think that I spent so much money on on-ear headphones and electrostatics, got rid of it all to go in on IEMs and i've never enjoyed headphones this much?
 
edit: ...and they're ordered! and it was less than i was about to spend on a used set so i'm very pleased! thank you @jmills8 for letting the bassheads know... you ought to get commission on this

Is it really worth upgrading the ASG 2.5's cable? I've heard some headphones where recabling made them entirely new phones and some where recabling did nothing noticable.

the 2.5 is great with stock cables but with Silver upgrade bass goes deeper and mids and treble have more space.

I think in the amount of time it would take me to swap the cables out I'd forget what it sounded like to begin with

. Still, like with those Sony cables I think there are a lot of good non-audio reasons to 'upgrade' a cable. Just ordered a Linum cable for my Earsonics so I guess I'll find out, though the purchase was mainly for comfort.
