4 cords to the Y housing and then 6 cords to the earphone, because the cable is big, there will be no memory wires, and there will a fixed earhook.

We don't encourage to upgrade the cable, and we are sure the stock one will has the best sound.

  one of the main reason i traded my flc8s away is because of the cable which provides discomfort for me but the sound is phenomenal tho.

 
The stock cable SQ is pretty good imo. Just that it get so springy after sometime.

So is a 6 conductor cable?

6 cords total, 3 each side, so the connector has 3 pins.

disagree, i upgraded my flc8s last time with a 4 core copper litz cable and it is a total upgrade over both the stock and silver cable. 
better soundstage,tighter bass, enhancement of details. 

fixed earhook wise, please dont make it the audio technica style 

hope you are open to the suggestion and make the necessary changes that will appeal to the end users

We put three catalogs of sound in the Y housing, must be three pins.

As long as the stock cable is soft / supple, I'm fine sticking with it. Hopefully that'll be the case!

Any previews/prototype photos of the Celeste?

Of course, but we'd have to kill you

But seriously, once pics, price, and specs are ready, there will be an announcement thread opened ASAP!!!

When we designed FLC8s we didn't do much cable research, just choose 7N OCC (the best copper) as the cable, maybe it's not the best for FLC8s, but for the price, we did our best, as you know, seldom competiors are using 7N OCC till now.

But Celeste is a different case, we put a lot of time to research the cable.

I only spent one week to tune the earphone, but spent about four months to develop the cable.

When I handled Jabra products from 2000 to 2005, the company is a cable and cable assembly company, I have a lot of cable technology, and it helps me a lot this case.

understand that but fit and comfort is of importance regardless how good the sound is

I used to go with red, gray, gold, but recently it has come to my attention that red had too much subbass, interfering with other spectrum. Lowered it down to gray gray gold for a very balanced sound. I listen to a ton of trance, prog house, pop etc.

I am still using red/grey/gold and am loving it with spinfit tips.

Cheers.

In Forrest we trust , Hope it isn't springy as well.

Official big THANK YOU! For designing an absolute marvel of an IEM.

For the cable, in general i think it has its benefit, looks like it will last forever. However, microphonics and stiffness are my criticism.

Really looking forward to the Celeste.

Cheers!

might check out the spintips, too....never had them before..and one of my ear canals is wonky
i guess it's be the cp100?  http://www.spinfit-eartip.com/index.html
they really make a difference with their unique design?
 
update to my previous rant: the memory wire isn't that bad once you get used to it
...i'd still easily prefer a non memory wire.
