'Signal Cables', while I can't speak to their headphone cables I've used their speaker cables with great success.

I recall playing around with Cardas, Zu and Canare with various results, all three were a bit more revealing than stock and slightly different flavors. For the most part it was splitting hairs and one can easily enjoy any of them.

Thanks Ed
So far it seems that the first thing I need is a new set of ears! Not seeing any? thing that improves the music beyond what I already have.

I went with a Bryston BHA-1 amp and a silver Eclipse Nano headphone cable. Even with my very old ears,,, The music came alive. Very happy with the results.
