i heard a lot than after recable, hd650 really make lots of different..
where can i get zu cable?

 

[compuryan]

Yes, if you have good equipment that will reveal such differences, it will be quite noticeable. If you don't have a good amp and source, I recommend you upgrade those components first.

Google helps.

zucable.com i think. After getting my HD-650 recabled with the Zu mobius, i was so impressed that i redid my whole sound system and eventually all interconnects with Zu cable. Most of it you can get thru promos on ebay but the headphone rewire you just have to order direct. I already had an amp-xcan and i the difference was very noticeable.

Zu has tighter bass and brighter treble, slightly warmer vocal (especially female). Music is more forward.

No it is not. Do yourself a favor and don't get in this cable ********. Those cables are ridiculously priced and don't offer any improvements.

 

[xenithon]

I tend to partially agree with the poster above. I do think that cables can make a non-insignificant different, and offer a definite improvement (especially if the ancilary equipment is up to the task). That said though, I do not think the asking price of some cables is commensurate....the Mobius Mk.2 being over $450 for a 6ft set, the ALO/Jenalab cable too being about the same price.

I recommend Jena, APS and Cardas. No snake oil.
Just good AWG cable and good termination.

 

[compuryan]

Yeah, like others said and I said before, your system has to be up to par so you can discern the differences. I'd recommend the APS (apuresound) cables, I like them very much. They're not as expensive as the Zu either.

I have HD650 with the MOON AUDIO cable
I picked up the BLUE one vs the SILVER, cause it gives better bass, and more suitable for Metal and rock (my style of music)

 

[xenithon]

HeadLover - thanks for those comments; I've been interested in the Blue Dragon for a while (I am not a fan of pure silver cables). Do you have the V3? Also if I may ask, do you find the all-copper cable adds at all to the already bassy and warm HD650 signature?

 

[HeadLover]

Yes I have the last version.
V3 I guess (or something newer), just bought it two weeks ago.

Just in case anyone's curious, it's the last day of the factory direct sale at Zu Audio. They had one 1.5m Mk2 cable on sale for $99 which someone already snatched up (was thinking about it, but I already have one). They still have a 2.5m Mk1 cable terminated with a TRS connector for $99, however.

Either way, it's a relatively cheap cable upgrade for what you're getting.

I am very happy with Moon Audio BLUE, a very good cable
Worth trying for sure!

I also got the Moon-Audio Blue Dragon a couple of months ago and it made a noticeable improvement (e.g., better clarity, wider soundstage). It is not night and day difference, but still very good improvements while keeping the warm and smooth HD650 sound signature.
