As a non-believer in fancy cables, I find it interesting that two of our members here had expensive cables but found them to be of no benefit.
When I joined headfi it was taken for granted that aftermarket cables for HD600 (and later HD650) improved their sound. Very few people here thought otherwise. Cardas and Zu Mobius were especially popular then. There were much fewer high end phones at that time, with rare and expensive exceptions like K1000, Stax, and R10, so many people didn't mind "upgrading" to fancy cables. Nowadays, I suppose people prefer to plow the money into amps or new headphones instead.
