    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

      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.

          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...

    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.

    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...
