I'm loving my Apeiron cable as well! Much better over my DIY Black Dragon cable. Better separation and weight to sound.

Except through your link how come i can not bring it up by going to the website?
New release or sold out?

And I notice that they have various gauge of copper cables - is there any difference, say between the 16 awg and 17 awg cooper cable structures or is it just a little more wire?

I do have a signum that I would probably sell as now moving towards copper in my new set up, so curious about the copper offerings

It seems like it is sold out.

I also had the same question about the sonic differences in using a larger wire guage and this is what Val from Artic said, "A larger wire gauge usually adds a more extensive holographic presentation/ broader sense of width and depth and an engaging and dynamic sound."

So far this seems to be true going from the stock 20awg Audeze cable and 21.5 awg Moon-Audio Black Dragon cable to this massive 16awg cable.

If you do decide on ordering one I suggest emailing them first and specifying which legs you want (170mm, 120mm, or 90mm). By default it ships with 170mm long legs. In the picture I'm using the 120mm legs.

Something slightly different – I am sharing some photos and impressions of the Hifiman grill mods from Arctic Cables. These can be found here: https://www.arcticcables.com/ac-store/AC-Hifiman-Grill-Mod-p461014835

(Disclaimer: I was sending in some headphones cables back to AC for re-termination and saw these on their website so I emailed AC and asked if I could add a pair of grills in my custom order. Val generously offered that I could have them for free if I post some photos here which I gladly agreed. These grills are absolutely gorgeous, I want to try to do my best to show them so that more people can know about them)

At the moment, it appears these grills are 20USD a pair, come in three glossy colours (gold, silver and grey) and apparently there is an option to customise and put text on it (mine don’t have those). They are made in metal (very well-made, patterns are even, and I don’t think I can find a scratch or mark on them), feel pretty sturdy (you won’t worry about accidentally bending them if not careful) and are reasonably thick, with a glossy finish that gives some pretty light reflections (the gold looks pretty cool considering the HE6SE has gold in their drivers too). In my opinion these are a better value proposition than the usual eBay honeycomb grills (which to my ears are sonically the same). Installation is also the same, pretty straightforward.

I know some folks put the stock mesh back when doing the grill mod, maybe AC can consider making/providing the meshes as well as an option?

Happy to answer any questions

Just bought a set of the Aegis cable for my HD800S. The plastic sleeving on the stock cables basically tore apart, and I could see the internal wiring. The Aegis replaced those because I wanted a braided cable that looked good and wasn't godawfully long. The cable took a bit over two weeks to get from Florida to where I live - pretty fast, IMO, considering they had to cross customs. Yes, they're braided. Yes, they look good. Yes, they're not godawfully long. That's basically all my requirements fulfilled.

Audio-wise, I don't hear any difference, but I didn't buy them for audio. Build-wise, they're much softer and have less memory than the stock cables, and there's NO MORE MICROPHONICS. Very good news. I feel the soldering on the 6.3mm connector could be a bit better (or have better strain relief) because the audio does cut out if you bend the cable a bit too much.

The Integra is not just pretty they sound great, they tend to dissappear between your headphones and DAP revealing all the details top to bottom

I finally got my Arctic Cable Integra replaced with the Arctic Cable palladium based "Opera Cable" and Wow Wow

This cable is simply fantastic
First reaction it seems to extract and kept extracting more and more information from the environment around the performer as it breaks-in, details that were not obvious before and this is in comparison to the very excellent Arctic Cable Silver/copper based "Integra cable"....when the Opera was finally broken-in
It was like previously a pale light shown on the music
But the palladium Opera is like Daylight of fully bright sunlight now shines on the music revealing Everything in High definition in the most natural way
beyond hifi to real music with detail, depth
More complete instrumental textures and colors, speed, bigger spaces between instruments allowing even deeper insight into the music, making for a more compelling listening experience, really addictive. I am not sure it gets any better than this unless Arctic Cable comes up with something else they certify better.
This Cable is worth every penny of its premium price and some...and it is sooo soft and flexible making it very manageable.
It seems to dissappear electrically.
And it's cute
The rest of the system::
Cayin N8ii Dap in tube mode
Hifiman HE-R10P planar closed back headphones
