Don't think it is on the website, but I haven't checked that closely. Send them an email, they have been quick to answer.

I might do that, thanks.

Thanks for the info, very nice to know. Is the Noir Hybrid on the website? I don't see it. What does it do that particularly suits dark headphones?

It suits darker headphones due to the silver in it. Silver tends to make headphones a little bit more open, more clear, more sparkly

That's what I feared would be the case. I quite like my dark 650's. Thanks for the info.

Shouldn't change them too much. Just a bit more detail, sparkle and overall clarity.

  Does anyone know how the FAW Color series compares to the LCD2 stock cables in terms of SQ?
 

I'd like to know the same as compared to the HD650 stock cable. Anyone?

Ok, I have to admit it, I'm a cable skeptic since I've never had the opportunity to hear expensive cables. Can we take the lack of response regarding the FAW Color series vs stock cable SQ debate as an indication that they don't make much of a difference?

I wouldn't expect the "Color" range to exceed the quality of a stock cable. It should at least look better ad be better built.

So you would guess that the Copper series would be the minimum quality required to notice significant improvements to SQ? Does the SQ improvements basically come down to shielding from EM waves and material (i.e. copper vs silver)?

First review here. Please be kind.

Nice review.

I wouldn't say there's a noticable change in SQ. If there's even any change at all, it would be very, very subtle. But the build quality on Copper Series is fantastic.

The only difference between the Claire and the Copper series is the 8 strands vs 4 strands? For the rest it's the same cable?
Then what's the difference between the Claire and the Noir as they both use 8 x 1,5mm strands, FAW OCC Cryo 7N copper wire
 
I'm a bit lost, I'd appreciate if someone could explain
 
thanks

In terms of build quality, I'm guessing the stock is also unlikely to break or degrade? Or are you referring more to the aesthetics?

Maybe this?:
