I've been using my old pair with $200+ Cardas cable for more than 10 years. I'm using my new pair with stock cable now. There is 0 difference.

Did you AB them? I'm using Stefan Equinox cable and stock cable and AB them and very big improvement on Stefan cable.

I got my cable cuz it was super cheap and shorterYMMV, I guess. I've used Cardas because it looked "cool" and I got it very cheap.
I'm been curious for a while as to how long some of the thread regulars have had their HD 600. This year, it's theoretically possible for the answer to be two decades. It's often implied that between the inherent durability of the design and the ready availability of replacement parts, it should be relatively easy to keep an HD 6x0 going for a long time. Anybody have one from the very beginning or around the turn of the millennium? Does it have any paint left on it?
My HD600 stock pads are starting to flatten a little so I'm thinking about taking part in the Massdrop for Dekoni Ear Pads for my HD600 which ends tomorrow.
I was wondering if any HD600 owners have compared all 4 versions to the stock pads? I've seen the response charts on the Dekoni website but would welcome a second opinion.
I'm very happy with the stock HD600 sound so am not seeking much sonic change, more an improvement in comfort. I find the stock velour pads become a little warm and claustrophobic on my ears after a whole, I prefer the lambskin pads on MrSpeakers Ether for example.
I currently use the following EQ settings on my HD600:
-1.5dB notch cut at 3500Hz
+1dB high shelf boost above 10kHz
+5dB low shelf boost below 80Hz
With these EQ settings my HD600 sound perfect to my ears, so I'm concerned that the Dekoni FR Graphs show a boost from 100Hz to 2kHz for all Dekoni pad versions. My ideal replacement pad would have same FR as stock pads but with two exceptions: slight reduction from 2kHz-5kHz and a slight boost above 10kHz. I'm trying to decide which Dekoni pad best fits my sonic preferences?
Just search for an HD600 cable and you'll probably find one. They range anywhere from under $20 to several hundred dollars. I'm personally using this one, which is cheap and meets my needs:I got HD600 and have question which third party cable can replace the stock one? Thanks for help.
