  Just ordered some custom handmade cable for my LCD-2 from eBay for $69.95 (not a chinese knock-off, just some guy from Wisconsin making them at home, I guess):
 
10 feet of Canare Mini Quad cable, 1/4" Furutech Premium connector, Neutrik mini 4pin XLR for Audeze headphones. Made with Cardas Quad solder and well reinforced joints.
 
I think that's reasonable price for something like that - longer, well made, better looking cable with quality components. Anything more expensive is plain ripoff, IMO. 
And of course I'm not expecting any audio miracles from it as well as any other cable 10x the price. 

 
 
That's not to start (yet) another cable debate... 

 

 
What would be the ultimate non-coloring conductor if you weren't worried about EMI?  Just for grins I'm tempted to take 4 RCA male plugs and run the lowest gauge solid copper wire I can find.  Just curious how it would sound (yes expecting bad EMI but who knows?)

Just found it...
 
Regular and superconducting cables for 12,500 amperes used at LEP (top) and Large Hadron Collider (bottom) respectively.

You can get shielded cable from Toxic, Norne or DHC to build a mega cable with, have been told that you can avoid the tizziness (technical term) of silver by varying the litz diameter of the silver mixed with OCC copper. If you can afford it, you could create a veritable garden hose cable

Great find on this seller.  I was tired of looking at $250+ cables for my HE-500's, but he has one in stock for $46.  Cheap enough to try out for sure!

Don't be daft.  Where would I keep the liquid helium?

Why settle for cryogenically  treated cables when you have cryogenic superconducting interconnects? Cooled to a blistering -425 Fahrenheit these babies will let you hear beads of sweat as they drip off the saxist's brow.
 
1st 100 backers at introductory pledge of $40,000 will receive a custom set of titanium cable risers hand cast and blessed by Franciscan monks.
 
Caution: Cables are directional and improper use may generate God Particles. Customers improperly using CryoCables as Coax/BNC to DAC have reported hearing Elvis.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I love you, man

I think I'd rather settle for the PYST from Schiit for $20....  I still hear Elvis with them though! (well, as long as I play his music that is.)

Lamp cord should do fine, brown zip cord can be had at any hardware store. For the style conscious, I believe it comes in clear or white. If it can carry enough power to light up an incandescent light bulb, it can light up your cans.

The brown has sort of a chocolatey sweet sound to it. I find the white to be a bit too bright sounding for my tastes. You'd think the clear would be the most neutral, but it discolors over time and gets all cloudy sounding.

Chocolate  won't work for anyone that's trying to lose weight. Maybe we can find a premium clear cable that won't age badly.

I knew you'd come through 

  It'll be like that show (or shows) where someone bottles up the town water and sells it back as "natural spring water," making a killing in the process (definitely saw that in Only Fools and Horses, but also.... Family Guy?).  I volunteer to decorate our new WunderKabel in more appropriately chic stylings.  Hell, maybe we can get Apple to buy a boatload, if it looks hip enough.

Hmmm, I'd make cables for iBeats cans and instead of terminating them with a TRS plug, I'd use two of these for balanced cables.
