  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?

The stock cable seems sturdy and unlikely to break or degrade. I got the custom cable because the stock one was too long for my use. The copper series cable seems a bit more sturdier, flexible, sexier, and one could probably use the massive 6,3mm Neutrik plug in self defence.

Yes, the European alternative to carrying firearms.

  Maybe this?:
 
 "EMI reducing braid and PE insulated wire with high strand count - 60 per single wire"

 
I don't think it's that, right?

still waiting my color series cable, it's really far from Poland to malaysia

You are not alone in waiting. I'm in Scotland which also seems to be very far away from Poland.

did you guys use the postal option or the courier option?  I've had really bad luck with the former.  Courier is way more expensive but at least your gear will arrive. Twice now I have had items 'lost' either to Matthew (for alteration) or from Matthew, even with tracking.  First time when I was expecting a parcel from him that didn't show up, he was good enough to re-send (I paid for courier that second time) but it happened again recently when I was sending back a cable for alteration (postal with tracking) and he never received it, I think I can kiss goodbye to that one.  Personally I will never use Poland post again..

Thanks for the info. I used Polish Post because the alternative makes the cables way too expensive. This better end well.

I have to say you were really unlucky - based on my experiences Polish Post is surprisingly very reliable and i have problem with maybe 0,5% of packages. The second time was also not Polish Post fault, but GLS which carries Royal Mail Airsure packages here in Poland

I think it's a problem with post offices in general. I'm waiting to packages from the US that just vanished starting the 31st of March

Sorry Matthew, I stand corrected. For me though I will be using couriers got future orders. Are GLS always in the loop for postal service mail?

 

[Matez]

GLS is only responsible to deliver packages by Airsure by Royal Mail - all the other packages are delivered by Polish Post. I guess also maybe DHL delivers some packages from Deutsche Post but I am not sure. Prove me wrong, but I don't know any national post that ppl won't complain about

 

[Solrighal]

Ain't that the truth.

  Nice review.

Thank you.

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

A good copper cable would probably make it more musical and organic.

Ergonomics and aesthetics if you don;t think SQ is affected by cable differentiation.

That's what I'm looking for. For bright detail I have my Q701's. They don't see much use these days.
