General Information
Letshuoer have provided the Australian review tour group ( Audio Reviews Downunder, Facebook ) with an example of their new premium accessory cable for our honest assessment.
Letshuoer’s website describes the construction of the nebula as having a balanced weave construction using Taiwanese 6N monocrystalline copper with a diameter of 0.08mm. It is constructed using a proprietary silver infused solder. The company claims this cable will give rich tonal details and a strong bass transient response.
The cable also utilizes a balanced pairing construction with one positive core and two negative cores, to reject RF noise. The claim is that this enhances conductivity and reduces transmission loss.
Another interesting innovation is the use of user moulded ear hooks. The earhook section is made of 304 stainless steel annealed memory soft steel wire allowing for adjustable angles.
The cable retails for $150 USD.
To review the cable, I looked at the aesthetics of the design, the physics of using the cable and more controversially the sound.
Nebula is an attractive cable as you can see from the photos. The bulk of the cable is a moderate weight, flexible feeling strand which divides into two thinner strands leading to the ear hooks. The connectors are of very good quality. It was unusual being able to bend the ear hooks to a shape that fit my rather large ears. I have to say I found it a little awkward doing this and removing and refitting the earphones. I prefer the flexible ear hooks I am used to.
Other people will assess their personal experience here.
I also had the new Letshuoer Cadenza 4 for review and for sound impressions I used its modular cable as a comparison. Cadenza 4 comes standard with a 392-strands high-purity silver-plated monocrystalline copper cable.
Switching back and forward using the Cadenza 4 with tracks on my Hiby R3 Saber I could detect sonic differences between the two cables. The OG Cadenza cable had a thicker richer sound which tended to emphasise the bass and mids and de-emphasise the higher frequencies and details which were still present with close listening. The Nebula, on the other hand had a leaner brighter sound which immediately gave the impression of brighter treble and clearer details. But again, with close listening and comparing the bass performance between the two was still on par.
I imagine that purchasers of this cable will already be using higher echelon IEM’s and the Nebula could be a way of fine tuning a listening preference.
