How often do folks remove their cable as I don’t think I’ve removed my Plussound cable from my Z1R since I got it 18 months ago?
I’ve not removed my Blanche since I got it over 2 years ago since it has swappable tips and don’t intende ever removing it and it’s a good tight fit that don’t wobble or rotate

I got a Dunu cable in March and haven't thought about changing it since.

tips on the other hand I go back and forth. I like how the Xelastecs fit in my ear but they often come off the ier-z1r and get stuck in my ear. the w2 don't get stuck but my right ear doesn't feel as occluded as my right ear

I received my adapters just a few weeks ago. Took around three weeks from I placed the order until I received them. Highly doubt they're made in china.
it seems to be that the quality is much much better

I have mine with the stock cable for a year now. I'm too afraid to remove it to try other cables.
My first 2,5 years I stuck with the stock cable and to my mind there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, I mainly got the Blanche because of the swappable tips so I could get rid of the various pig tails, but I do prefer the Blanche silver sound to the stock

Yeah I agree with this you need yo give your mind time to adjust to the different sound sig and go back and forth
Been A-B-ing all day yesterday and today. The U12ts are probably better when disregarding EQ, and they become truly excellent with Amir's PEQ filter. Unfortunately they just don't elicit the same emotional response in me as the Z1Rs, and the Z1Rs can be far more pleasant with good EQ settings. I don't think that perception will ever change no matter how much I listen to the U12ts. I wouldn't mind keeping the U12ts, but that's probably too much of a luxury.
