The Eichmanns sound a bit leaner when put up against the WBTs (maybe more open then lean...)
I will be using the WBTs as my refrence now as I find them to do everything just right and to be a great balance of the body of the LOKs and the detail of the Eichmanns.
I am a tube guy and love the huge body, soundstage, and detail I hear from the gold alloy / WBTs ... the Eichmanns just dont seem to have the same tone and purity in sound...

I had a weird experience with this cable. I wonder if anyone else has had a cable do this. The first time I plugged it into my Pimeta and listened to it I though the cable sounded sorta thin and unimpressive. After about 45 minutes the sound started to change almost before my ears. I could listen to the same track, back to back, and it would sound very different. The sound became very lush and full with a lot of warmth. I REALLY like the sound of this wire with my Senns.
How'd you make that cool y-split? I need to recable my Grados (wire broke).

The tracers in this sleeving reflect a lot of light and really stand out when you use a flash....
This is the same iPod audio line out cable as in this post. Some people, including myself, didn't like the look of it. I just added some braided sleeving and a couple of peices of heatshrink. It made a world of difference. The white tracers in the sleeving look good with the with plug.
I've been reading a lot of this page, just trying to get ideas for more cable making, It is very addictive, might I add, making cables. I was wondering the physical and electrical differences in Litz braid, vs. a natural wire braid that most cables have. How abouts do you litz someting that is not already?
Cheers,
Jeff
