Frank made me an adapter of the same exact 8wire bw cable ( i posted pics of that in this thread) from 1/4 to dual 3pin xlr (my new amp will have dual 3pin xlr headphone out) as my headphone cable.. And it sounded absolutely wonderfull...a full balanced dual mono 8wire bw..u have to try it..it was millions ahead soundwise compared to the regular single ended 4wire bw i had first...
Hope this answered ur question.

Ah I see. So you haven't used it balanced yet?

Is it a secret or are you going to spill the beans?

Bryston if i'm not mistaken, but by the sounds of it Rookie's will be a special build by someone else.

Hints:
1. Blue Circle Audio
2. Custommade
3. Balanced
4. Based on their NSL speakeramp, but with only 5watts into 50 ohm (class-AB) and tuned for he6 only. (My next headphone)
Check google for reviews!

Did that kill ur curiosity a bit?

Very interesting. Will it come in one of their fetching bog pipe designs?

nope...the transformer, which will be outside of the case, will be built into that pipe design ur talking about..like this:
 

 
the amp will be in same case as this one:
 

 
with a real red cherry wood volume knob like this:
 

 
in the main case they will also include their wonderful BC509 dac.

What is the current waiting time? I could do with a nice silver cable.

 

[lin0003]

It's like 12 weeks.

 

[Tony1110]

Oh dear. They don't come up very often in the sale forums. Looks like I'll just have to place an order and wait.

No, they don't. Waiting will be frustrating but you have to wait for the good things

That is quite an unusual requirement with the LCD2.2s. If you hadn't mentioned the headphones, the LCD-2s would be my last guess to be honest.
 
You may find it worthwhile having a look at what's wrong with the rest of the system and purchase something like Silver Widows which have exceptional synergy with the LCD-2s in a good system. However if your system is fine and that is just your preference, then fair enough and any copper cable will do. But do know that it won't help that congested, ok the nice word is "intimate", soundstage a bit.

 
I am using O2/ ODAC with my LCD2.2 + Q cables.  
I was happy with the sound, lean and fast.
Until I received my UM Merlin, then I thought that with it was a little too lean.
Switched back to the stock cables, it was better, but then, the veil is back.
 
So, I'd like to give other cables a try.
Copper ones of course.
 
The spec of the Black Widow is pretty similar to Q cables.
Litz, 20+ gauge.
 
Perhaps I should to try the Scorpion.
What is the difference in sound quality between the 18 vs 24 gauge?
 
Frank has also suggested the Copper Venom - I would assume that this is out of my budget, anyone using this cable?

Very nice. Heard only good things about BC.
