I don't have that bud, but those are my favorite cables.

I don't have that bud, but those are my favorite cables.

My favourite too.

Also, the Wraith, of all Blur buds, has had the longest life in my active rotation. Best shell, natural timbre, warm-ish signature, beautiful vocals.

I want to take this cable and put it on my PK32 (my still in rotation Blur). The PK32 cable is too stiff, heavy, and microphonic. It unfortunately reduces the functionality of the bud. It's really a big detractor for a low impedance and very portable bud from a drivability standpoint. This cable is light, flexible, and devoid of microphonics. Pretty much as sexy as en earbud cable gets. It's just useful/practical.

Blur 'Beautiful Witch' for sale,

https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/blur-beautiful-witch-earbud-2-5mm-with-4-4mm-adapter.50864/

Purchased in a bundle from a fellow member but it has not received much use given the number of other buds I have. Great Blur sound with a bit more darkness.

This setup with the Beautiful Witch and the 96k The Wall is a blissful blur.

Thank you @qua2k!

Thank you @qua2k!

Beautiful Witch has great timbre and lots of detail. Can be a bit forward in the upper mids though. Finding the right chain is imperative and it looks like you got it! Enjoy!

Enjoying my Blur 266R MX400 Reference today. I think I was chronically underpowering this IEM and it didn't sound great on my Valhalla 2 tube amp when I had it, a bit too warm for my liking, but damn does hold up well on the Defiant.

@WoodyLuvr might I make a suggestion? I've always felt the Blur OFC MX400 STE (non-aPs) is one of the most texturally resolving buds (more so than BW). Do you think it deserves a slot in your top 10?

Indeed, very well said.

@sonicfanatic
Here are charts that @ian91 and I have created to help explain the Blur House Sound.

Here is an example of a few recent and popular Blur models showing their primary sound signature plots... as you can see the Beautiful Witch's primary sound signature is way down in the far right which equates to forward upper midrange (again great for female vocals).

It's secondary and tertiary sound signatures and characteristics pull it even further into the Asian Female Poison domain as well as well into both the Aggressive and Bright quadrants.

Here is a very rough showing of the possible behavior of the Blur House Sound tuning:

So the typical Blur House Sound is generally mid-centric" with most models bright-aggressive leaning (sometimes nearing female poison aka Beautiful Witch) and thus very "vocals" focused.
