I guess pretty cool if you buy these at $6000 then need to spend another $1799 on cables minimum to make these really sing. Wow thanks for the head up.

Placebo is real when you believe in it, that is all you get with cable uppgrades unless manufacturer actually did something wrong with original cable that I doubt in this case.

That's really too bad that HiFiMan is skimping on their design of the speaker cables. They were so incompletely designed that for a fraction of the cost of the headphones there is a substantial improvement that can be made to the sound quality. Where else did HiFiMan skimp on the design?

I bet the original cable sounds just as good as the "upgrade" cable, what you get is upgraded looks with the expensive cable.
