Brand New : Tralucent Audio Ref.1 Too & original Ref.1
Sep 23, 2016 at 8:04 AM Post #4,006 of 4,426
@kiats I've Whiplash TWcu 8 braid and ordered Rhapsodio Dark Nihght SPC. I love bass, so maybe the spc or copper good choice for me. Bur also I love the clarity and resolutions.


I would recommend a good silver based cable. Have you tried Tralucent's silver gold cable? Or have a look at Toxic Cables' SW22 or Hydra cable.

Unless you are ready for the Tralucent Uber cable. :)

I need some cable suggestions for Ref1. What do you think about SPC or Copper cable?


The Tralucent Uber Too will be your ultimate choice.  Anything other than uber will be at a lower level IMHO.

I picked up a Sony ZX1 Walkman quite cheap recently, I quite like the synergy between Ref.1 and the older Walkman.
 
I find the ZX1 to sound a little clinical or coldish which leans in my favour with the Tralucent IEM. I'm not blind though to hear some slight flaws like a loss in cohesion and refinement at (quite) high volumes.
 
Overall though for general listening I really enjoy it.
 
I think it looks quite nice along with the cable as well.

Have you decided on a cable yet for your Ref.1 Too?

Is the ZX2 on the coldish side like ZX1?  I need to use the Silver Widow and a cool source to enjoy the orginal Ref.1, but when I get them tuned in correctly they're a dream come true. Its quite a conflicting earphone the original Ref.1, it does alter between sources the most from my Tralucent line up.

​No, the ZX2 has a slightly warm signature. I wasn't sure how the Ref1 toos would play with it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the pairing. The silver widow is a great link in the chain.

Too expensive ZX2, need to wait a few more years when I find it used, when no one cares any longer.
 
I can demo it if I ever got off my butt and head to the demo store.

I reckon you'll see a few decent price drops over the next few weeks, as people jump on the WM1 A&Z bandwagon

You're right happens all the time.

Btw you're 100% enjoying Ref.1 Too more than your old 1Plus2?
 
I think you should be punished for selling them.

@H20Fidelity what cable is that? I should be getting my Ref1 Too sometimes tomorrow and i am thinking to pair it with the stock silver gold cable until i can upgrade to Uber Too or other high end after market cable.Looking forward to try this IEM with my Tera Player and also with some movies as quite few people said they are brilliant.

Its Toxic Cables - Silver Widow. When a camera flash reflects off the cable strands it glows white like in the photo. :)

(Uber cable doesn't do that)

:D

What cable do they arrive with then, silver/gold Tralucent?
