Silver Dragon Sennheiser Headphone Replacement Cable Version 2 (New)

This is the new Version 2 Silver Dragon Headphone cable for Sennheiser HD-650, HD-600 and HD-580 headphones and any other Sennheiser headphones that have the 2 pin connection system. We also use it for the Sony Qualia, AKG Pro Series and any other headphone that uses a connector attachment System. This cable can also be hard wired to Grado's, AKG, Audio Technica etc etc...

The cable uses a 4 99.99% pure silver 24AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors.

Each conductor is made up of a special varying size stranding geometry. The silver stranding is mixed with Kevlar stranding to reinforce the conductor. Making it stronger overall and less prone to failure due to the harsh constant flexing a headphone cable receives.

The conductors are then surrounded by cotton and then a layer of Teflon tape.

The new version is now also shielded and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection.

The Version 2 is quieter than the Version 1 with no micro phonics.

The pin connectors are soldered to the conductors and then molded to the cable. The splicing method used by other cable companies using a stock Sennheiser cable's connectors is a poor method. And defeats the purpose of replacing the cable. That method requires you to once more send the signal through the poor quality conductors in the stock Sennheiser cable as well as through one more solder joint. Moon Audio, Cardas and Zu are they only three cable companies I am aware of that use a preferred method of headphone connection method

The version 2 is more flexible than Version 1 and can be easily coiled up.

The wire is soldered to a Cardas GRSQ Rhodium/Silver plated stereo 1/4" connector with Cardas silver solder. The wire is then covered in 1 layers of Techflex braid.

The detail and speed of this cable is truly amazing in the midrange and high frequencies. It will shock you how much of a difference it will make over the stock cable. And will remove the veil all Sennheiser headphones seem to have.

If you listen to Jazz, Blues, Classical, Acoustical or any very detail orientated styles of music, then this is the cable for you.

As with all my stuff I offer a 30day money

back guarantee. I recommend a 100hr break-in time, as silver takes longer to break in, but straight out of the box you will be amazed. A good place to look at reviews of the Silver & Blue Dragon Head Phone Replacement Cables is at the Head-Fi forum. Here is a link to one of the many reviews.

Blue Dragon Sennheiser Headphone Replacement Cable Version 2

This is the new Blue Dragon Headphone Version 2 headphone replacement cable for Sennheiser HD-650, HD-600 and HD-580 headphones and any other Sennheiser headphones that have the 2 pin connection system. We also use it for the Sony Qualia, AKG Pro Series and any other headphone that uses a connector attachment System. This cable can also be hard wired to Grado's, AKG, Audio Technica etc etc...

The cable uses a 4 99.999% pure Litz Copper 24AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors.

Each conductor is made up of a special varying size stranding geometry.

The conductors are braided into a special Geometry.

This Cable is unshielded. A shield is not necessary based on the geometry we have developed..

The Version 2 is more flexible than the Version 1. Version 1 used a larger solid core copper conductor.

The wire is soldered to a Furutech FP-704 Gold plated stereo 1/4" connector with Cardas silver solder. The wire is then covered in 2 layers of Techflex braid. Black over Blue to give it dull blue color.

The cable is extremely smooth sounding with great low end and wonderful voicing. And will remove the veil all Sennheiser headphones just like the Silver Dragon. Most stock headphone cables are made of poor ultra thin conductors that work as a bottle neck for the sound.

If you listen to Rock, Alternative, Rap or Techno etc, then this is the cable for you.

Portable Cable Types:

What is the difference between a Moon Audio Portable Interconnect and a Moon Audio Portable Mini Cable. Basically it is half the wire. The Portable Interconnect is a pair of interconnects that is joined together at one end with a Mini. It is a higher quality sounding cable where flexibility is not a huge issue and more commonly used in a home based Headphone System with either a portable media player or computer. The Portable Mini Cable is more for on the go where flexibility and less bulk is a must, such as with an IPod and a Portable amp.

Silver Dragon Portable Interconnect Version 2 (New)

This is the new Version 2 Silver Dragon portable player cable and is based on the Silver Dragon Headphone Cable Geometry. It can be used to connect portable cd players, IPods etc. to your Headphone Amps or any audio system without any loss of quality to your signal. It has been designed on a cost no object basis. The finest materials were located and used. It starts with, in my opinion, one of the best connectors made, the Cardas GRMO. This male RCA connector is made of non-magnetic, eutectic Brass, Rhodium over Silver plate, with a gold plated Brass cover. We use either the Switchcraft Gold plated 3.5mm connector or the Canare silver/nickel plated 3.5mm connector. We use 2 discreet runs of Silver Dragon cable vs. 1 run with the Mini Cable.

The cable uses a 4 99.99% pure silver 24AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors.

The conductors are then surrounded by cotton and then a layer of Teflon tape.

The new version is now also shielded and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection.

The Version 2 is quieter than the Version 1.

The version 2 is more flexible than Version 1 and can be easily coiled up.

The wire is soldered to a Cardas GRMO Rhodium/Silver plated connector with Cardas silver solder. The wire is then covered in 1 layers of Techflex braid.

If you listen to Jazz, Blues, Classical, Acoustical or any very detail orientated styles of music, then this is the cable for you.
