Also you need to remember that there is the internal diode board which is fed via two wires going from the plug to the diode board further making the use of an aftermarket cable of dubious benefit.

Now it makes more sense to me if you remove the diode board and have a dual entry w/ the wires being attached directly to the drivers and bypassing the diode.

The section of cable going from left to right cups should aslo be OFC as is the cable it'self. and is IMHO, of insignificant length to effect any appreciable audible difference. I feel that except for full custom interconnects going from gear to gear, The real difference becomes audible only in cable lengths of 3 ft or longer. The threaded plugs are availl from Qables but are around 9.00 US each and with shipping and the euro exchange rate I'm paying around 50.00 US for four of them.. I will send them off to Maxwell at Milian Acoustics to build a prototype 10 ' OFC and SPOFC cable for me to try out.

BUmptyBUmpty....

 

 

Did you ever try the cable from Milian? I e-mailed them and they have the 3,5mm jack that the pro series uses... but would like to get some impressions before I order :)
