Thanks a lot for your review, Matthias. I just started to do some listening sessions with a smaller range of ECC 81 / 12AT7. S4A ECC81 - 6201 (already mentioned in your review) Genalex Gold Lion 12AT7 PSVANE T-Series Mark II 12AT7 ...and the standard valve delivered with amp JJ ECC81 Red...

Or Look here for One example: https://oidiosound.co.uk/mongrel-mrspeakers-alpha-ether.html And Google is Findung some more dealers if You search for "Mr Speakers cable UK" So, seems to be nö problem.

Or you could search at MRSpeakers Website under links the store locator for UK dealer. Which may offers cables too.... There are some dealers in GY. If You can not find a way we could check GY market for a suitable solution. And yes, please before Brexit ;-)

Both are sending International. I got my ones from Venus Audio without any problems to good old Germany. Only ging to the next customs office and pay VAT charges.

Yes, based in USA. And yes, You can get unbalanced cables as well.

Or try one of Venus Audio: https://www.venusaudio.net/ Material and assembly quality good, sound is clear and transparent, value for money very good.

You are right. My Alpha Prime is just beside me, and I would never sell it. I love it.

Just got the Aeon Flow Open today. Since more four years I am loving the Alpha Primes more than any other headphones. Nevertheless, sometimes I am alone at home and free to listen with an open system. So, let us try to find out the differences in weight, wearing comfort, sound impression and...

Just got a 10´cable from Venus Audio for Alpha Prime to replace the (for me too) short MrSpeakers Cable. Now there is more elbowroom on the couch.... From first moment more brilliance, more space, more detailedness....I am astonished and looking for further changes. And this for a an absolute...

  For the burn-in-time: Violectric HPA V90   Later it´s possible to compare easily with the Graham Slee Solo because the V90 has a direct link-through from input signal to connect a second amp getting the same signal as the V90.

The Prime is by my side since one week now - time for a short story.....   Many days - thought about closed headphones. My wife is watching TV at the same time in the room....The offered cans in Germany seemed not to be my taste because of design and/or sound. Fostex TH 600 a little too...

Thanks a lot.   I think, except the expected mrspeakers, the rest of the equipment is a good basis for serious listening, not more. And, number of toys may get minimized later (nevertheless a downsizing way is abnormal for a hifi-enthusiastic, isn´t it?).

I´ll do my very best  ...but first the cans must come. And Ether will come later on.   Nevertheless, as far as my wife is sitting beside me and is watching TV I need a closed back....hopefully this lasts a long time...

I will start with my Violectric HPA V90 with the a bit smoother sound and secondly with the Graham Slee Solo which sounds a little more precise and brighter.
