OIDIO SOUND Impressions Thread
Apr 15, 2021 at 5:28 PM Post #31 of 46
Hi

I would add my recommendation for Oidio. I purchased a Mongrel cable for my Arya's last year as I wanted a longer cable than stock. Having owned a good number of 'upgrade' cables over the year's (interconnects, speaker & headphone cables) my experience is they do make a difference to what I hear albeit a subtle difference. So now what I look for is a cable that is well made, uses the best components and looks good. The Oidio cable fits the bill for me and at a fair price.

Here is my set up which sounds excellent to me in terms of Synergy.
Focal Radiance headphones>>OIDIO Mongrel 4.4 balanced cable>>iFi iDSL Signature.
Good enough to be End Game for me*

Thank you to Focal, OIDIO, iFi Audio and members of headfi in helping me make these choices.

I bought a balanced cable from OIDIO last year for my Beyerdynamic Amiron Home. I recently sold those and asked if they could re-terminate my cable for a Dan Clark Aeon. I sent it back late last week and it's back with me already (Tuesday!). Beautifully finished cables. I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone interested.

I bought a Mongrel cable around a year ago. The service, price, and quality are all excellent.

My one gripe is that I’ve found the sleeving quite rough and as a result the cable is very microphonic.

Disclaimer - It might be exacerbated by the fact I use closed backs and the fact I move my head a lot while listening to music/working (ultrawide monitor).

It’s bothering me to the point I’m now looking for a replacement unless I can keep it under control with some kind of DIY shirt clip lol.

Got an OIDIO mongrel cable for my HD800S which is shorter with a 4.4 balanced plug and so suitable for use with my home/office system (Cayin N6ii DAP w/C9 amp). Nicely presented package and beautifully made cable. It sounded so good that I didn't want to take time to compare the cable with the Sennheiser standard one. I will do this soon though.

It is non microphonic, which is splendid, but most of all lets me use my HD800S in my home/office system and so gives a nice break from closed back headphones. The sound from the C9 and HD800S is staggeringly good and one that I am surprised comes out of battery powered portable units.

Just a quick word to the service provided by OIDIO, whether i'm enquiring about a cable build or just a couple of £5 connectors, JT responds in quick time with priceless advice that goes way beyond what you'd expect. On top of that delivery is super rapid too. Can't say enough good things about OIDIO. :):)

Copper cable for the Arya SE. Very well made. And excellent customer service from JT.
