[Toxic Cables]

Things happen, i am sure the cable will turn up, if not it is just a cable and i will replace John's cable.
 
Unfortunately, i am completely out of the SP, i thought i had another bundle as i had 300 SP cables made in the first batch, but it seems i was wrong and that bundle is actually Vipers.
 
The few that i do have left are already sold and i expect a new batch in about 5 weeks, so no more SP IEM cables currently being sold. When they do arrive, maybe we can keep this going.
 
In the meantime, if you would like a Silver Widow IEM cable instead for yourself, John, do let me know. It's my latest stranded OCC Silver/Gold Type 2 Litz cable.

Amazing cable John, probably the best IEM cable i have heard to date. It is a little thicker then my other IEM cables.

Definitely interested.
 
As I think I've told you in the past - I don't really use nice IEM cables when I'm on the go. I already worry about loss or damage to my expensive CIEMs, so a nice cable just makes it that much worse. 
 
At home, on my reference setup, it doesn't matter how thick the cable might be.

I will make one up for you with the next batch of IEM cables i make, will contact you once it is ready. 

 
Please do bear with me, as you might know, i am very busy with orders currently.

You're the best Frank!
 
No rush, I'm super busy too so I'm all tied up just like you.

Whatever happened to this? Seemed like a nice community idea and now it's been dead it would appear.

User yjt93 had the cable shipped to him and then disappeared. He appears to have left the country as far as we can tell. So the Silver Poison is gone. Thankfully, Frank has offered to replace it for me (class act!) so all is not lost. 
 
I probably could have done a better job of vetting the participants. But yjt93 had been to a meet and seemed like an enthusiastic participant around here so I gave him a chance - it's no fun to only have senior members involved. Oh well. 
 
I'll edit the front page to reflect the status.

In hindsight, this post from him is kinda amusing.... No one would've guessed.
 
 
 

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but I don't know how it can take someone 2 weeks to get an impression of a cable, it'll take me like 2 or 3 days max.

Yep, pretty funny. I do think that was a serious comment at the time - read some of his old posts and he seems like a genuine guy. But obviously something happened and he either decided the cable was super nice and he would disappear with it, or more likely he had something else going on and just never bothered to come back. 
 
We speculate that he was a student attending school here, and went back home overseas for a break. Maybe something happened and he couldn't attend any longer? Or no Visa to get back here? Even so, they have the internet most places so there's no excuse for not updating.

He apparently was on December 3rd 2012. A real shame. I hope in the future we can continue with programs like this.

Sad to see this awesome project derailed especially since project86/Frank/Toxic are some of the coolest people around here. Glad to see Frank is gonna hook it up (even though Ive heard he is massively swamped right now with orders, with good reason I presume). I hope this one instance of extreme DBness doesn't kill future endeavors like this. And it just had to happen when I was next in line

.

I had success with sending a few other things around in the past - $1200 worth of DAC/amp/cables and it made it back to me in perfect shape (probably cleaner than when I sent it!) So I'm not gonna let a little thing like this stop me. I'll just have to be a little more careful about who I send to. But if something gets lost or stolen, then no big deal - I wouldn't send it in the first place if I wasn't prepared for that possibility.

So how would the sound of the silver 1% gold be affected if this wire were used for signal, and OCC Cryoed pure copper were used for the ground returns?  Has anyone even tried this and compared to a full four wire silver 1% gold cable?

I am extremely busy currently and the SP IEM cables are also currently out of stock and i have no firm date for delivery, but the wires are now with my overmoulder.
 
Once the new batch comes it, if anyone is still interested, we can give this another go, and i will send out another cable.
