I agree... cables can make a difference, but not to such a degree that one can neglect the 2 main components... the source and the headphones themselves. 

 
How about aftermarket iem cables, like the silver dragons, etc...do those make much of a difference? Just curious, obviously on the wrong forum...

Take a look at the IEM Cable thread in my sig. Should help you learn about what brands offer cables and a few links to reviews of them. Cables are always a point of issue on the forums. I'm in favor of cables affecting quality/sound, others may say otherwise. Their definitely can be something said for different companies having different build quality, so even if you dont think a cable sounds different to you, pricing may be worth it based on how long it will last and things like that. Good Luck, I'm thinking of picking up a Moon Audio SD V1 IEM Cable or Chris_Himself Silver Ray Cable. both have some good reviews

I've never tried "high end iem" cables.  My source I'm drawing from are cables that I build.  Going from stock to Mogami often yields a minimal (if any improvement).  Going to something like Toxic Cables gives me a bit more. I've yet to try (and most likely will never try) the higher multi-hundred dollar cables.  I'm very satisfied with the changes that my TF10 received going from stock->Mogami->Furutech->Toxic Cables (my current cable).  If anything, I'll try Toxic Cable's Silver Cable.. but that' where my cable adventures will end for the TF10.

Will definitely check out that thread - I don't need them now, but I was wondering if there's sort of a split between people who think they make a significant difference (enough to warrant the expenditure) the way there seems to be with LODs, as in more 'snake oil.'

There is, as they both come from the same sort of materials and have the same theories relating to sound tied to them.

I swapped out the stock Westone cable for a Silver Dragon on my ES5's. There is a very slight improvement single ended but it wins out for me because I have mine balanced for use with my PB-2 amp and this really does improve SQ.

Sorry for bad quality.

I think the case reduced dynamics out of the iPod. Just drop it with and without the case a few times and compare. The sound is so much crispier without the case. With the case on, there might be a tad more low mid and bass but at the expense of the expensive soundstage and the breath takening wow factor.

 
Lol'ed.

hmm, not sure i like the idea of covering my touchscreen lol

 

[skamp]

Is that a Galaxy Nexus? I'm surprised you need an amp with it. Mine is quite loud.

 

[-ToM-]

Yes its a nexus, and yes it needs an amp lol. For the $35 i payed for the E6, its easily 10x better
