I'll join in, just briefly, to say that I've generally been skeptical about the touted benefits of high-priced cables, but I've just succumbed to replacing the standard cable on my Sennheiser 595's with a custom made $85 cable, and I "think" I perceive an improvement. But then headphone cables are not transmitting digital signals, so I suppose there is more of a rationale for improving headphone cables (I guess).
