Mid priced IEM cables thread.
I recently borrowed the Hakugei Arcanist cable with my Symphonium Helios which improved it's bass definition, stage depth and treble detail while losing out on some bite from the trebles. Definitely an upgrade from the Stock Altalune nova cable. Did anyone else try the Arcanist?? If I were to...- areek

Thanks, this is just the answer I needed. Just for query, did you try more expensive cables as well? Any changes with using spc/silver cables?- areek

Symphonium Helios impression thread
Has anyone tried cable swapping for the helios? I was thinking if cable materials or higher quality copper cables will alter/improve the sound on these or not?- areek

Pioneer XDP-300R | Twin DAC ES9018K2M | Balanced Out | Android | MQA | 2x MicroSD | WiFi | AptX
The best thing about 300r was perhaps the presentation. None of the other sub-1000$ daps didn't even come close to the soundstage that it offered. Too bad it died on me and I went with the dx160. Still think about getting that unit if someone sold it to me for cheap.- areek

Reply to review by 'areek' on item 'Sony XBA-N3'
When I had the N3 and compared with E5k, I found the E5k to be nowhere as exciting as N3 after swapping the cables of N3. E5k is perhaps the most boring iem i have heard in it's price point, a complete lack of sparkle even after a powerful pairing.- areek

Cables make a huge improvement in N3 sound. If you can, try with some high purity cables, preferably copper.- areek

I find the dx160 pairing to be dark and too thick. I'm considering getting an iematch to increase the output z. Do you find it to be the same?- areek

Low frequency weaker on one side or both? I mean, is there channel imbalance? Also, please mention the source of playback.- areek
