Enjoy your well deserved break Frank. 
 
I do hope my batch is in the ones that do get sent. *fingers crossed*
 
I've been waiting a while and I'm yet to get my first Toxic Cable so I am like counting the days til Toxic "Christmas". Also waiting on a super sweet Audio GD DAC with special cables. 
 
The re-termination compensation is a very generous one though if it comes to that. :)

Well my latest Toxic Cables investment, The Toxic Cables Balanced Viper arrived for my IE8's today.
Thank You Frank for yet Another epic cable!
Very Very well made, And using the IE8's in this configuration really brings them to life!
I mean they're good iem's anyway, But the balanced output through this SPC adds sparkle in all the right spots.
Its taken me a few years to learn about the terminology related to the hobby and what it all means etc, 
But I can safely say that the IE8's set up like this, Have a far wider sound stage, Bass is tight and controlled and the bass extension is very good, 
I no longer need to tweak the bass setting on the IE8's themselves, Thats "Zero'd" out now.
Highs are crisp and clear, And midrange is present, Smooth but not too edgy. ( How I like it )
Vocals feel more natural now and are more forward.
 
Anyway, I'll leave you with some pics....

My new black BW complete with carbon fibre 2.5mm termination and carbon fibre adapters have arrived! What beauties! Well worth the wait. :)

Kiats what's the difference between this and your last one? And do all the adapters work from the 2.5mm TRRS? This is what I want for AK240 if it does!!!! Cheers mate!


This one has 3 main differences: it now has straight connectors rather than angled ones which may be more comfy for long flights; secondly, it comes with 2.5 trrs (balanced) termination for use with the balanced out of the AK240; finally, this one is the new black BW, the only difference being the sheathing now being black rather than transparent.

In the next photo, I'll show the beautiful carbon fibre adapter for this cable to be used with the normal 3.5mm single ended out of the AK240. :)

Designmaniac, the other adapters are for 2.5 trrs to 3.5 trrs (for use with hifiman) and another is for 3.5 trrs to 3.5 trs. :)

Awesome stuff my friend! Love the way we can have these "conversations" from either ends of the world! Enjoy your new cables and look forward to hopefully catching up soon! All the very best!


Indeed, my friend! Please do give us advanced warning when you are heading to our little red dot. & if you want to demo the cables, let me know. :)
