I use a Norne Silvergarde and I've never swapped to anything else since.

You use an 8-core or a 4-core cable bro?

 

[edwardsean]

Hello All, I love my I4 out of Single ended stock cable with the Kann Alpha. I was hoping of I could better my experience by getting a better 8-core silver cable. Hoping someone helps me with a few suggestions (suggestions based on your own experiences will be more helpful for me).

Cheers,
Vishy

We might be able to help you more with some more information.

Price range?

Sonic Preference/System Synergy: Are you looking for more warmth or more clarity, soundstage, imaging, bass, treble, etc.

Hi Edward, I am basically looking for an improvement in almost all directions, I can spare upto 1000usd for the same, but if it comes, will be happier to take that too!

Hey Vishy,

I totally get that your looking for improvement in all directions. We all are, but as you know upgrading audio is usually a balancing game. One cable is better at soundstage but not as good on clarity. Another cable is clear and transparent but sounds a bit thin. You know how it goes. However, you're right the only way to really to do it is to dive in and get as much as you can of everything.

For a 1000USD, Effect Audio Leonidas is a really nice combination of upgrades in all directions. It's also a real looker.

Just my opinion but hope that helps.

I have tried various Moon SD cables and they can the effect of smoothening transients and making the sound more airy.

But of course system synergies will play a part.

Norne is usually a safe bet.

Thanks for that Sajid bhai, will keep that in mind, are you also planning to look for one for your upcoming I4, or are you planning to stay with the stock one itself??

Thanks fir that Edward, I have noted Leo as a possible option. I'll start reading about it now.

Will stay stock for the time being.

Yup! Got the adapter from Amazon today and they sound great with the Mini as expected.

It’s a hefty 4 wire. Whatever you get, make sure it doesn’t have memory wire.

Is that an official Audeze iSine/LCDi case or did you make that? Looks pretty cool.

I made it. Nothing exotic. I think it's a Pelican 1060 with pick n' pluck foam

Guys

Am considering on the LCDi4 I already have the Euclid which I like loads, running through HiBy RS6 on it’s own or with the Cayin C9 headphone amp. Alternatively it’s my phone through Cayin RU6, am interested in the i4 being open back and giving a different presentation, however am but reluctant due to the possible need to use EQ to get the best out of the i4.

If any one had tried both Euclid and i4 am interested to hear your thoughts…..

I have both and consider them to be the perfect pairing to cover home/studio use and remote/noisy environments. I have some more detailed thoughts over on the Euclid thread.

For me the i4 needs EQ. I was using a HiBy, but couldn't figure out how to use the MSEB system to EQ. Ended up with an iBassoDX240, which has nice EQ capability. From what I can tell the C9 would be fantastic with the i4.
