I hv purchased a pretty blingy x8 gold plated silver to go with my vega, wonderful pair.

Just wondering about the "silver fiber" splitter.........whats that made of, carbon fiber or some silver for real? Glad if I could know the answer to that. Of cos either way it must be one of the coolest cable splitter on the market

I see, thanks~
 
Sometimes I do wonder what is the sonical advantage of having gold plating to wires in cables (there's some certain well established cable maker who totally detest this idea you know).........For one I do like how both the GPS and GPC sounds (I do have a 4 wire GPC cable as well). I heard that the signal actually transmits near the surface of the wire/cable..............so is the gold or the silver or both responsible for the main transmission tasks?
 
And is the silver wire UPOCC? Think I read that it is somewhere on your site before but now can't find it when I look again.........
 
Sorry for the rather dumb sounding questions.......I'm never a science man but is always curious about how my audio gear works. Thanks in advance~

Always happy to answer any questions you (or anyone) may have.
 
While we also offer pure copper and pure silver and true that they are more conductive, most (including ourselves) favor gold plated wires as it helps produce a more natural sound. Not just the surface but the entire conductor is responsible for the improvements. All our wires are OCC and you can read more about each of them in our About page [http://www.plussoundaudio.com/about.html].

I've just received my X8 SPC cable. They are very well constructed, and look absolutely beautiful!

I haven't had the time, unfortunately, to properly test them out, but first impressions were positive.

Thanks, Christian and team, for the great cable!

Here are some pictures -

I would like to hear impression more. Could you give comparison among pure copper, tri-metal and this one?

Unfortunately, the only PlusSound cable that I have is this SPC X8. I have pure copper, pure silver, and hybrid (copper/silver) cables from other companies, though. Don't know if that's a comparison that you were intending to see.

I just purchased the X6 for my new Noble X IEM due to arrive in March. Can't wait to see how these will mate.

What's the average turnaround time for a set of cables? I haven't bought a cable by plussound in a while so can't remember if it's a short or long wait time. I'm looking at my options but it appears that plussound is the only option that has some kind of android music control options (although without the volume control) and I would primarily use it with my phone. I would use it with my Mee Audio P1 so spending more than $200 or so isn't reasonable when the P1 costs only $200. I've had some cables in the past by them for the UERM and SE846 and can't complain about pre-sale or after sale customer service which is big for me these days.
