Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
Frank, those are absolutely beautiful but how heavy and flexible would they be. I love my naked 8ft Silver Widows which are very flexible and light. What would an 8 ft headphone cable run in the above configuration? Mark.- jazzgas

Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
What you say is true. I actually like the "Warm" sound or what some called "Veiled" with the LCD 2.2s especially on poorer or older recordings....I listen to a lot of Jazz from the 30's to 50's that benefit from "less" detail. I like having all these choices and will probably just buy a Copper...- jazzgas

Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
You may be correct in regards to the SW and HD800's. I bought the Silver Poison cables at a slight discount because of a very minor cosmetic issue...so I knew if I didn't like it I could get my investment back and purchase a Copper Toxic cable if need be. Also there was no wait...It was...- jazzgas

Inter Voice, thanks for your impressions. I have the LCD 2.2s, how would you compare the LCD-Xs to these? I also have the HD800s now with a Silver Poison Cable as well as a Balanced Silver Widow cable on the LCDs. The cables are too new to really come to any conclusions but I am pleased so...- jazzgas

The Decware TABOO MK 111 Thread
Hadowight, No harm done but your post is a question I had and the answer Neugra gave from August of last year. Why have you reposted them? As an update...shortly after that question and answer, I ordered a Balanced Silver Widow cable for my Audeze headphones from Toxic Cables which...- jazzgas

Yes, I use the Taboo and soon I'll add a CSP 3. For speakers ordered (HR-1s) I have the Decware Torii MK IV Amp ordered. My hearing if extremely good/sensitive. I thought the standard cable was cooper....what's the anax mod? I don't think I'm ready for another $500 aftermarket cable...- jazzgas

The Decware TABOO MK 111 Thread
Different strokes for different folks. When I first got the HD800s, I was tempted to send them back. The recording had to be just perfect and even then they sounded too edgy and bright. I keep both the LCDs and the HD800s hooked up when listening and after the HD800s had had some break in, I...- jazzgas

The Decware TABOO MK 111 Thread
I'm not tempted. I am happy with the warmer signature of the LCD 2.2s and still await what they'll sound like with the silver widows. If I want "Balanced" and more "Revealing/detailed" I put on the HD800s. On some recordings the HD800's are just too much though and I go to the LCD...- jazzgas

Negura, those look interesting. I'm looking forward to some reviews of both these and the closed Cans....so at $1700 are the $2000 LCD 3s still superior....or maybe just different. I'm still waiting for the Balanced Silver Widows I ordered long ago for my LCD 2.2s. I recently added a...- jazzgas

You will get several updates. Once you get a notice of shipment you'll be given a UPS tracking number and delivery will probably be 3 or 4 days not including Sundays. My CSP 3 remained in the shipping department for a while before shipment. Next Friday might be more realistic. Mark.- jazzgas

The Decware TABOO MK 111 Thread
Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'll give the HD 800's a shot but wouldn't ever give up the LCD 2.2s......well maybe for a LCD 3...hehe. Nothing wrong with two flavors...right? I have a question in to Frank of Toxic Cables to see if he could make a Silver Widow adapter so...- jazzgas

Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
Frank, I'm considering a purchase of the HD 800. Would it be possible to build a silver widow adapter to allow use of a silver widow cable for an Audeze headphone with the HD 800? If so how much would it cost? Thanks, Mark.- jazzgas

Longbowbbs, I've been considering the HD 800s. I currently have the LCD 2.2 and the Taboo II with a Jolida CDP. In reading many have said that the HD 800s are fatiguing, overly bright, sibilant, and other scary criticisms. I see you have a Taboo III and a CSP (which I've ordered but don't...- jazzgas
