Lol... Well, I haven't bought any interconnect or custom cable but I tried few cables and interconnect. The reason I plan to get custom cable is because I hate long stock cable, and I aim for the affordable, not the premium grade. Of course you can braid or tie with zip tie etc but I prefer minimalism, and yet they looks better. Both of my FA-003 and HD 600 cable is a mess. Phew...
The affordable decent quality cable will sound just as good. Yes sometimes the long HD600 stock cable gets on my nerves but other times when I lay in bed with an amp on my night table, the length doesn't seem to be a problem. The length causes problems when I store the headphones and have to wrap up the wires. I haven't cut the cable to see if the wires are cleanly solderable but I'm tempted to buy another stock cable, cut it shorter and solder a new plug at the end. The only thing is that I'd be swapping cables when I prefer the length to a desktop amp and probably wear out or damage the connection at the HD600 from constant plugging and unplugging.
