,,,. Possibly if I hadn't spent time A/Bing recordings with these headphones my conclusion would have been "Utopia, clear winner or classical", which I don't think is true, at least not all the time.

I've had the Grand 20 Core Silver with the HEKv2 for a couple months now, and the difference in presentation from the stock cable is noticeable and notable. I hear more definition and greater separation, especially in the treble, a feeling of greater transient speed, and a more forward sound.
So it makes the HEKv2 a shade less laid back, which I think it kind of needs, so it's a welcome improvement IMO.
And of course -- to speak objectively, now -- it's less ugly than the stock cable.
I'm curious if anyone else has had problems with cable plugs on the HEKv2. With the stock cable sound in my right ear will drop periodically. A small adjustment typically solves the problem. I ordered a Lavricable which is a beautiful sounding cable but the connection was even more problematic. I sent it back to Lavricables and they sent me a new one with different connectors but the problem persisted. My dealer was kind enough to swap my HEKv2's for a new set but I'm still having the same problem. I'd like to try a cable from a different manufacturing but am hesitant to spend just to end with the same results. With the stock cable it was pretty black or white. I either had a connection or I didn't. With the Lavricable I think the connection is just barely made and strong bass can often break the connection which leads to what sounds like distortion.I have both the HEKv2 and a modified Sennheiser HD800S. I've gone through several different cables with the HEKv2, but have not tried the Lavricables. I am presently using the Double Helix SE22 OCC Copper Litz - dramatically superior in resolution, clarity and transparency to the stock cable, which is quite smeared and congested in comparison. Similar to your description of the Lavricables, the Double Helix seems also to have greater extension in the treble and increased transient speed. I also tried Cardas Clear, which also was better than the stock cable but by a smaller margin. A Zynsonix hybrid copper and silver Litz cable was only marginally better than the stock cable.
