Sennheiser 650 Headphone Cable Upgrade

I just purchased a pair of Sennheiser 650 headphones. I was debating on upgrading the headphone cable. For all 650 owners, did you upgrade the cable and was it 'worth' it? I'm trying to stay under $300 if I decide to purchase an upgraded cable. Strictly casual listening through an iPod or my Marantz receiver.

Also, what cable manufacturers do you recommend (i.e. ALO Green Line, Cardas)? I'm sure there are others, but that's just what I found. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Found this olde thread when I was searching for whether or not Lavricables are worth it. I bought some C3 Cables for my HD650 that I use at home and it blew my mind how much of an improvement they made, so I thought about springing for the Lavricable Grands for the LCD-3s I'm using at work... just so so pricey.

I'm running those from the balanced outputs on a Sony PHA-3 and they are clearly superior to the stock Sennheiser cables. I was expecting a marginal difference, but I am no longer a cable skeptic now.
