Thanks. It's a Marantz KI Ruby set with HE1000 Stealth.

Mine when running in... Probably on around 80 hours at the moment and sounding notably better. No more scheduled running in - just through usage and it's pretty excellent already : highly detailed, natural and transparent

Another thing to consider is also the quality of the connectors. I went for the Aeco as they are the best Lavricables offer, if only available in gold from them. I know Aeco do make silver and rhodium versions too though. The sockets on my amp and headphones would be gold so I'm fine with that.

Well put and just how I see it. I didn't want to stretch to the 8 core due to the cost compared to my headphones but I'm confident this 4 core will do just fine. I don't have a balanced input like many use but the cable is going to carry a quality signal from my Marantz KI Ruby amp +cd set and...

Most certainly stunning and I'm glad I went for the better Aeco plugs. Greatly looking forward to trying.

Ordered Tuesday delivered just now in the UK so great delivery speed. Initial visual impression: Impeccably made, looks stunning and is the correct length. I can't test it until tomorrow unfortunately and it will then have plenty of running in to do. So far great so thank you @lavricables

I didn't know you could get gold plated copper cables. Gold isn't as conductive as silver(best) or copper but who knows, maybe on cables it could sound good. Conductivity isn't always the main criteria for best sound - look at Rhodium connectors for example. However you may like to most this...

Thanks. Happy to do the burn in myself. I have burn in tracks but will more likely just use normal music for a while on repeat and then appreciate the further improvement over time as it matures. I suspect I'll be very impressed. 🙂. Mine has shipped today so hopefully here by early next week...

Thanks. That's a great explanation and your opening line about the Susvara fits in with what I recall about it. Tremendous resolution top to bottom. I can hear that my HE1000 Stealth are not completely natural but accurate enough and very fulfilling. I'm hoping that the Lavricable can make it...

How do you find the HE1000 Stealth vs Susvara? Also does any particular headphone show up the Lavricable Grand cable benefit more than the other ? I've heard the Susvara before but not alongside a HE1000.

Well I'm not in a race to be the best but I get what you mean! Lol 😄.. Clearly one of the best headphone cables regardless of price according to reviews and user feedback.

Awesome.. I didn't fancy stretching to the 8 core considering the headphone value and suspect the 4 core will do a pretty great job.

Thanks for the reassurance @Wladimir . I generally spend a fair bit on cables throughout my system and in this case the cable cost will be over a 3rd of the cost of the headphones but the HE1000 Stealth are very revealing and can compete with sets at more than twice their price as they lately...

Well that's my Grand Silver 1.5m 4 core with the best Aeco plugs ordered for my HE1000 Stealth. I greatly look forward to receiving it, running it in and hearing its excellence. 🙂. It's been ages since I contributed to this group but I will feed back with my experience here. I am more active...

So looks like no one really wanted to advise me here apart from saying 'don't bother' : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/he1000-stealth-cable.969463/ But thank you to your helpful reviews and views via this thread - I'm going to get the 4 core Grand Silver for my HE1000 Stealth .. When...

Thanks that's an interesting suggestion and thanks for sharing. I've found over the years with any cable of any type not everyone can hear the same differences. For example USB cables make a huge difference in streaming quality. Me and a friend have confirmed the exact same difference between...

I'm currently using an 8 core 'Open Heart' silver(plated) cable with my Hifiman HE1000 Stealth, some great headphones I've had for less than a week (pictured). The silver cable is a good improvement over the stock cable : cleaner, more detailed and sharper. I suspect it's also bringing an...

So it turns out that streaming does actually sound better from the daisy chained Netgear QoS switch - less bright/metallic and smoother. Different systems will show up different traits more than others - my Marantz PM-KI Ruby and Holo Spring DAC now show me more.

Misinformation? I am not reporting the news, I am reporting my reality and my experience. Regardless of the technical theory, there are many people hearing differences between network cables and in product group tests. You obviously believe they are delusional. I certainly am not. So when you...

I suppose it depends what your home router is like. I found minimal difference between direct connection with my BT hub to my Netgear. In fact it sounds better for me when direct but will confirm again some time.

Coaxial digital is electrical, a description something you obviously could not give to optical digital. In my testing of several coax cables between my CD transport and DAC, I wouldn't say any had a sound signature. It was simply the same but better or worse. Better cable=less jitter=better...

True does seem fairly similar. For my TV, HDMI does a perfectly fine job in my AV system. For the Supra optical to sound smooth(smeared? ) and missing detail, that would just be down to a poorer cable and jitter. I prefer digital electrical but as we know some devices like TVs don't support it...

So fully back on topic... Over time I've happily invested in premium digital cables (Atlas Mavros) and other RCA or speaker cables - Atlas again and they've made significant improvements. My reasonably priced mains power upgrades have helped too (prefer not to spend too much on this). However...

Well yes every transport I used sounded different from an ES series Sony SACD and now Roksan with AES-EBU XLR which is excellent. In fact over regular coax it is great too.

I'm still busy reading this thread(half way through) and have read several other related ones too on other sites. So as a senior IT person I totally get the error checking with digital - all there or not there but there is definitely more going on with audio. I don't know for sure what yet and...
