HD600 Replacement Cable *Updated*

Recommended Posts

Well despite all, I finally took the plunge and picked up the Zu Mobius Replacement Cable for my HD600s. Read so many great reviews on the cables that I just couldn't resist. In addition to that, these cables look awesome, extremely well designed and well built! Basically comes with machined connectors and are aparrently a really tight fit with the 600s.

 

Here's some Mobius Porn perhaps for some "self-gratification"... rolleyes.gif

I will post more pics and hopefully a review once I get these bad boys from our friendly neighbourhood mailman. I'm so excited I dun think I'll be able to sleep tonight!

 

Rameish: I will try to bring the cable in once I get back to SG. Thought you might be interested.

Well, as I said again, depending on your preference, different cable may or may not suit you. So far I am only familiar with 3 of the cables, namely the Equinoxm the Clou Red and the Oehlbach. As I have said before the Equinox gives the HD600 extention in both end of the sonic spectrum, in addition it gives the HD600 more air. IMO, the HD600 is airy enough and hence a cable to give the HD600 more weight will be preferable for me. Hence I use the Oehlbach cable or the home made Mogami cable. The Clou Red cable isn't really worth its money. As for the Cardas cable, I have no experience with it but from the conversation with Rameish, he said that the Carda harden the sounds. I am not too sure of his basis of comparison, so you need to take this with a pinch of salt. I hope this would clear some of your doubts.

Yea...no kidding, when I get back to SG I'll inform you so you can come test out the cables. I'm currently in Taiwan and I don't know when I'll be able to get back.

I think a HD-600/650 cable shoot out is no the cards form SGheaphone. Perhaps sometime after the meet I'll organise a cable owner's only meet. Perhabs when Matbon comes down and he can bring the Clou Red from N@Z. N@Z, you know you're more than welcome but I think your wife will kill you if you asked to come again in Feb LOL.
