Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

Just looking at the 2 wire IEM version and am a bit confused, how does that actually work as there is only 1 cable per side? Is it split internally in a way you can't see? How flexible is it compared to the Silver Widow 22 and how should it effect the sound comparatively? Really tempted by this as the single strand looks way more comfortable with glasses!

Frank,
 
I just made an order for your new Hydra for my Audeze LCD-2.
Really looking forward to listening to it.

looking forward to hear about Silver Widow vs Hyrda. the reason why i always pick SW22 over any silver cable is the bass. i think the gold % in the SW cable (with the way that frank make it) make the bass so epic, it sound punchier than normal silver. even the Treble got more air.
 
 
now with the Hydra is here the silver game vs SW22 might change?  i assume the Hydra will still sound like silver but more refined and at its finest? yet will not be different as i hope? :p

I just place the order for Hydra 18AWG 2-wires and Hydra 22AWG 4-wires for my A12.
 
I'm really looking forward to them now!!
 
Big thanks to Frank for your prompt response, as always.
 
Cheers

  Update: I have ordered the Hydra 18awg 2-wire version for CIEM. Thank you Frank for expediting this purchase and the preview discount!

 
Did you choose the Hydra with your H8.2 ciem in mind?
I've read that that one matches best with silver => Hydra also got my attention now
Hopefully it is not too thick / heavy for (c)iem use...

Yep...a SW22 vs Hydra sq & signature comparison would be very interesting indeed

Unfortunately we cannot take back used cables, you should be able to sell this for a good price quite easily. Once you do, let me know what you sold it for and i will sort something out for you on the new cable.
 
Unfortunately i keep new releases to myself till the very last minute for a reason which is why i could not tell anyone about it earlier or before your purchase, that reason should be apparent if your read my last few posts.
 
Hope you understand.


Of course Frank no bad blood here and i totally understand. I was just teasing you, actually i´m quite happy with my cable, as i do believe all Toxic Cable owners are with their one cables. Will keep this one for awhile and i certainly know which will be my next cable upgrade fo sure.
You just keep doing what you do best!!

once i finish with my current setups, i will go with Hydra 18AWG :D
 
few days ago i've bought SW22 for my moded TH900 (HD800 connectors) 
 
i love it when frank bring a new top cable, i remember going from SW25 to SW22, i assumed i won't be able to hear the difference but frank keep surprising me each time.
 
can't wait to order the Hydra 18AWG  :<  but got to buy WA5-LE tubes and maybe LAu amp first.

I'm so interested in the Hydra but I don't see it on the website. Can anyone direct me to it?

Yes H8.2 is one of the CIEMs in my collection I will pair Hydra with. Most of my CIEM sound sigs don't feature a sharp tuning (e.g. Aether, Noble 6), and silver seems litz seems like the appropriate candidate to attempt getting more resolution.

LOL, hopefully not. I really want to order one. Have always been interested in his cables.
