As a habit, any new cable I get aside Ethernet, I test for proper wiring and continuity before installing. Just to make sure gear does not get damaged from faulty wiring.

3256803208092240 on sale now

But, finally decided to purchase YARBO SP-2200PW ... This one should be pretty close to "pure silver"...

Just plugged this sugar daddy in between my Gold Odin and tube amp - INSTANT SATISFACTION!!! It's just the sound I hoped it could be and more. My system is so resolving now that in fact I didn't even suppose things could have sounded so damn aplomb, like I've just stepped into a very top system at Can Jam! Especially since I already have a Furman IT REF-15i power conditioner (worth $3K) powering my system. I dunno how clean power can make such a huge difference, but this thing is just flawless on my system at least. There's a few other places it could serve in my system, but I'm thrilled with the placement after the Gold Odin cable, like it's a natural extension. Whipped those dynamics into shape, polished the treble and fleshed out the mids somewhat.

Seller was Moonsaudio Store, $85 for 30cm length.

When you also confirm this and I have the authentic version. Yes it insane how it sounds!!!

I have never heard my AryaV2 like that. It goes deeper than the SE/TT2.

(I cant wait to test matrix spdif 2 with a good optical cable.)

Yes that's SP-1100 PW (They say it's rigid as the AQ Dragon fake) but I ordered SP-2200PW (Flat silver plated) item# 3256804146454296
I have these cables maybe you can help me find something that is a level better. Only priority really good copper rather than silverplated. I wanna try something different. UP-OCC 7N possible?

my cable:

I am not disspointed but I like having other cables to A/B test for my own learning/training.

The best XLR I've tried would be that Triple crown XLR then comes fake WEL Signature item # 2251801654779006 . IDK any good pure copper XLRs... IMHO pure silver beats them all.... If you are ok with $700+ price tag check this one https://audiosensibility.com/blog/p...XLR-Interconnects/p/18299861/category=2595836

I'm really at a loss with this power conditioner (bic500) and my AresII dac...when I plug the dac in with standard power cable it works, when I use one of the Odin2 cables it blows the fuse on the bic500...I ordered a voltmeter off Amazon, it should be delivered today, but I'm not exactly sure what I am checking for... When I listen to the DAC with normal cord plugged into the bic500 it does not sound as good as the Odin2 plugged into the wall/ So right now I'm using a $750 power conditioner for my $400 amp.... I've emailed Alvin a few times and latley he is not responding....getting pissed. I have not tried the odin gold, tho, I guess I'll try that tonight. I have 4 fuses left....
