This thread is designed to show off my most recent stuff. Your comments are greatly appreciated. Plus your opinion is how I make better products!!
Ok, after a year of so many headfi'ers asking me to recable IEM's, I'm finally started to. I have been waiting for Saturn and Jupiter to align correctly I guess...
So, this is my UE 11pros recabled with CrypParts SCSCag CFDCT-UP-OCC-ag cryo's 99.9999% pure solid core wire. One word on the wire....incredible.
Wire details:
SCSCag Hook Up Wire - Bulk Hook Up Wire - DIY
Ok, the cable is not dressed and is exposed for look and feel. I may dress it up a bit. I used the AMAZING Viablue 3.5mm mini connector that certainly looks sharp. The length is about 48" which is on the short side. The Y splitter will be modified and it located about 3" under my chin...
Ok some photos:

The nice looking and GREAT sounding Viablue 3.5mm mini
Ok the sound.....Only 1 hour burn in!!
Man what a difference. Immediately the soundstage opens up!! Crisp mids with a sense of richness that I find with my ATH-L3000 and other flagship cans. What is really interesting and this could start a debate on my bass comments.
With 2 low drivers on the 11 pro, at times they can become untamed. Some might call it "bass heads" while others just simply say, bass with a punch or slam, etc. This wire tames it so much better. It becomes part of the music and doesn't make it distracting. Very authoritative, but yet detailed. So it does not limit the bass, just refines the "slam" where you can actually hear details that were not preset before. I really enjoyed hearing the difference. I will say this that after 100+ hours, this could all change.
The highs have NO roll off. Exceptional details. Extended highs that UE is famous for. No fatigue....
IMO, one of the greatest improvements is the depth and blackness of each note. Everything is so separated that each instrument has no bleeding effect. Every note is pin pointed to the instrument!! I love that....
Of course this cable will be dressed up more. I like the naked look however. Ok no comments from the peanut gallery.
