Sennheiser HD 800 aftermarket cable

I have a pair of the HD 800 HP’s and have modded them with great improvement. I had been listening to them with WyWires platinum cable but I carelessly broke them and am now looking for something different. Does anyone have experience with Synergistic Research’s Atmosphere HP cables for the HD 800? If you like the combo please tell my why. If there’s another cable you think is a better pairing feel free to say so and please let me know why. $800 is a steep price to pay and I’d like to hear as much as possible about the SR cables before taking the leap. One good indication: I can’t find any for resale. And as 2nd interest, what about Moon Audio Black Dragon Premium cable?

I don't know if you are interested or not but I have been having a great experience wit Cardas Cables . They are so very open and  detailled and have turned my 800s into entirely different beasts and are miles better than the original cables.

Hi the Cardas I use are 1.5 metre four pin balanced cables at £535.00 which are rather pricy but completely blow away the CH 800 S I had previously. The bass although not all powerful is super clear and so well detailed. A lot of the sound I get is also down to my head amp the Luxman P 750-u which will drive any dynamic  phone you care to mention and to ear splitting volumes if you are stupid enough. I had Sennheiser's own head amp before and the new one just jumps all over the old one. If super detailed light and airy sound is what you love then it is a great combination but you should hear it on Mahler Symphonies. As I only use phones nowadays then I can listen to my normal rig without any compromises at 3 in the morning when I can't sleep and I don't waken the missus.
