Double Helix Cables Thread

Actually, I decided to use the new cables on the JH16s instead of the Shure 535s.

Might as well go with the better IEMs to match the awesome cables.

If I found DHC earlier, I would not have purchased the 535s.

The Doublehelixcables Molecule Extreme is a cable like you have never heard before.  The sound has it nailed with "air", details, and the most delicious, emotional vocals ever!  It gets it "real"!

  Placed an order yesterday for DHC Molecule Elite cables for my Alpha Dogs.  Very excited and looking forward to adding them to my rig.  

 
I've been doggin DHC cables on my AD's, the Molecule Extreme closes the gap btw the AD and LCD 3 Fazor!
 
Good choice on the cable, you won't regret the purchase!

Glad to hear it--had to stretch my budget to get the Molecule Extreme (i.e. negotiations with--and concessions to--the wife).  
 
Come to think of it, I haven't heard from Peter yet since placing my order last weekend.  Assume he's swamped and/or traveling?

If your status on his website says "processing order", then it's just a waiting game.  I'm on week 5 I believe.

I'm starting to think that even if there was an Alpha Dog "Prime", why would I even need to upgrade if I am satisfied already? It might be like one of those LCD-2 revision 2 examples or Fazor where some people think it matters and other people don't.

yeah if you're happy - stick with it!
There's always SOMETHING comin! 
I still rock a Classe Audio DR-9 in my stereo reference system (last David Reich-designed Classe amp - pre-B&W owned - a tank AND musical - 16 yrs old) and I LOVE it!
 
but - for DHC - I HAD to share this post I threw up on Facebook and Instagram last night re: Molecule Extreme:
 
This system is givin' me the CHILLS!

Just got these Double Helix Cables Molecule Extreme (a work in progress from Mr. Peter Bradstock - a Cable Wizard) - and just changed the one variable in the system: The headphone cables of course. The BIG ones in the picture. I was using DHC's Complement4 beforehand - also Equally AWESOME musical presentation...

This listening experience deserves a word like "Transcendent" - though, highly abused in Hi-fi journalism I believe!

The sheer dimensionality, that is the dimensional sense of space between instruments, or even triggered sounds (as many complex electronic masterpieces were recorded on consoles - with channel separation panned and toy'd with/mixed in multi-tracks) is sublimely reproduced. Dynamic contrasts are addictive , as there's so much space in the soundstage. And the Timbre - DAMN.
Sorry, it's what came to mind and this ain't no review.

I just couldn't keep hearing this and not share about it!
Anybody else in a great listening session right now?? Tell us about it.

I'll say this for this particular system: It inspires me:

MacBook Pro/Sonic Studio Amarra Symphony 
Black Cat Cable Silverstar USB (current model)
McIntosh Laboratory Inc. D100 DAC
Nordost Cables Heimdall2 XLR interconnects & power cords
Cavalli Audio Liquid Gold
DHC Extreme cable
Audeze LCD-2 w/ Fazor

Luckily the DHC Molecule Extreme isn't nearly as heavy as you'd expect. But they're strictly for home/mad headphone reference system use.

Hey Mike, What do you recommend for hd 800?  I know you're head-fi veteran I like you recommendation for hd800.  I was going for silver cable, but what do take on this issue?
 
Thanks

I agree. I am in the anticipation that Dan unveils this at the San Diego Head-fi meet. I could be wrong, but very likely I will get my chance to hear them and see what the difference is for myself.
