We've actually just sourced something inexpensive (~$100) and understated. 2.5mm, 6N OCC copper, look for it by the end of the month.

It's one of if not the most functional and pleasant cables that I've ever used. And I've used a few :-)I was also looking at that one as well, from both an aesthetic and ergonomic standpoint (as well as needing a balanced termination). Were you able to appreciate any sonic differences? I thought that the cable was certainly an improvement over stock sonically. I'm about to try a Draug 2 from Norne and hope that it's something worth writing about.

I just got the email for that drop, and was going to ask if anyone has used ZY cables before? I mostly want to know about build quality, how solid the connectors are (I hear Senn has the "true" connector on lock down), and whether or not it "shittifies" the sound. Paying what Sennheiser is asking for a 4-pin termination is insane, and I was going to dissect the stock cable and put in my own 4-pin termination + 4-pin adapter back to original 1/4" jack. But for $110 this looks appealing.HPride, if you can comment by comparison to the stock HD800 cable, that would be appreciated.
