My apologies, it was @Lookout57 that said not to buy silver plated & copper. I'll have to stick with the copper i ordered now & at least i've got the stock cable to compare. At nearly £200, with customs charges, buying cables is an expensive game, in just what i've bought so far. ( This will be my third cable, spent something now in the region of £600. ) I never dreamt that i would do this, so to think to buy yet another ( Silver plated & copper. ) at another £200 is a little crazy ! I dread to think of the cost of the Axios ! ?

Anyway, apologies again, hopefully, i'm still going to enjoy the headphones. ( I might contact the ebay seller, but it's probably too late, they process orders pretty quickly ! )

Seriously, don't sweat it. It will be a great experience. I think you're going to be in aural nirvana soon.

That's quite an amount of money, you could take your time. My little suggestions: try to look at some (maybe very little...) brighter sides of the stock cable when comparing others to it, not only those of its very evident shortcomings

I spend a lot of time thinking about things & then i'm very impulsive !

I have never really found a difference in sound when using expensive cables. Is it just me?

Have had it over a year. To me it beats HE-1,SR009.Utopia ETC. Given the right amp(in my case Phonitor) it is the best headphone I have ever heard. YMMV. I do however have a cable on it that costs much more than the headphones themselves. The Axios Silver. I would not bother with Sony's Axios, I feel the stock cable is just as good. Again, YMMV

Sony don’t do an Axios cable

Nope, not just you. Can't mention the blind testing concept here or I'll get censored. Go to the cable discussions in the sound science forum.

Kimber makes the Axios cable for amongst other headphones the Sony’s. Sony don’t make an Axios cable.

The battery packs are charging the ES100 wirelessly? Don't the ES100 have to be in contact with the battery packs? But your batteries are taped to the headband and the ES100 are in the cups. How does that work?

I'm kinda sure he was just messing around with us a bit here... I thought it was quite funny, actually.
