  lalala6 that chart you posted indicates that the new woodie will have the same driver as the FX850. The only thing different between the two are highlighted in black. I think jant71 is on to something. As for cables not making a difference in sound, I have the Fiio cable. There is clearly a difference in sound from the stock cable (a more balanced sound with the bass tamed some using the Fiio). 

the Filo cable sounds great with the FX850!!(Or visa versa!)

Ah I see, you're right. Hopefully the same 11mm driver will have a more refined tuning (being optimistic here). I did not meant that cables won't make a difference in sound, I meant that there are other factors besides cables that will make a difference in sound. Yes, I have the FiiO cable too and can attest to the difference in sound. :)

This is good...
 
 For instance, most armature drivers can successfully play only up to 10kHz when used alone. Our driver can play from 20Hz to far beyond 20kHz easily, covering all frequencies human ear can recieve.

 
... because it's important to hear what I can't hear anyway!

Better detail and clarity than the which, the Z1050(as you quoted Mochill) or the FiiO X1?

Would be cool if it is better sounding than an X1 with a ton more battery life and still have an FM Radio. Also Bluetooth which can pair with the new AT Bluetooth amp.


Sorry for the late reply Jant, the member was talking about A15 having better clarity and detail than FiiO X1 (they have both). But really this could mean anything amoung the A15 just being slightly brighter giving them that impression. I'm very impressed with X1, FiiO really seem to be slowly moving away from thier previously (to some) overly warm house sound.

Thanks H20! Was set on getting the X1 but have to keep an eye on the Sony A impressions. Could replace my S639 with another Sony:)

You need to check out Lunashops silver plated 5N OCC cable with mmcx connectors.  I reviewed it here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/683099/new-westone-w-series/645#post_10953433 and actually tested with both W40 and UE900s, so it's a truly universal mmcx connector.  I have FiiO's cable as well, but microphonics is awful, and braided design is not as soft bending and has some memory effect, and their invisible "memory tubing" not as convenient for wire-down use.  That other lunashops silver plated cable has the same (if not even better) sound improvement effect, cable is soft, can wear it wire up or down, and you get a wire cinch.  Since I have both cables, can tell you with certainty lunashops wins hands down.

Nice!! They look a bit more TTpod-ish :) in shape

New design of the spiral dots tips as well!  Nope, the newly designed spiral tips are the same "newly designed spiral tips" as before. I checked the replacement number.
 
No reason not to get the LTD with the braided gold look cable and gold accents for $20 more if you like the look and maybe a slightly better cable. Have to check reviews of the FXT90 reviews for cable impressions to see any difference if any is there on the LTD2. Of course it will be good to see if early impressions show any real difference between the FXT200 and the LTD or just color scheme.
 
I knew some dual titaniums were gonna come but maybe in the FXH series. Looked like the FXT was dead.

I just had a bad experience with Lunashops. Won't be trying to order from them again. It's been 45 days and I haven't seen a cable I ordered from them. I emailed them and asked about the cable and they never responded to my emails. So I filed a claimed with paypal. They sent a tracking number then. But on investigation the cable didn't go out when they initially told me it was sent, and on top of that the tracking shows that my cable was sent back to Lunashops. So I'm done.

That's a bummer, sorry to hear that :frowning2:  I got a lot of stuff from them in the past, some purchased and some sent just for test/review, and it always takes 2-3 weeks to arrive and they usually tell me if it's available for shipment right away or will take them a few days to make it.  Coincidentally, I had a similar experience with dx.com ordering a smart activity bracelet and some headphones, never got it because it was returned back to them (due a tiny rechargeable battery in the bracelet?!?).  Now, I have another wireless set of headphones shipped from Penonaudio, and they worried about rechargeable battery and sent it out through some air service I never even heard of (still waiting to receive it after a few weeks).  I know, sometime a bad experience can be such a turn off.  But either way, for $40 that silver plated cable is a great value.
