LOL!! Even those sciences police won’t be able to change my mind. Technically speaking, balanced connections with inverted phases can already cancel out the voltage differences between 2 polarities. The inverted phases with twisted braiding geometry can already cancel it in a short distances. There is no reasons to use shielded version for any of these cables unless it is 50ft in length.

My decision to not use shielded cables is just because my hearings prefer the non shielded versions :wink:...

Shielding, if properly done, is good so you don't turn your IEMs/cable into antenna picking up EMI noise, in theory, that is :D

Back to the C9, so even as we speak, the productions is still awaiting parts ? That means there is no current batch shipped out from China yet ? Are we gonna face another shortage after this batch ?

New toy to play with C9 - MMR Gae Bolg.

OOTB impression: this is a dynamic, intimate IEM with a mid focus. Sound stage is also surprisingly good under C9.

Thanks @bluestorm1992 for pointing me out to Eletech. Just secured an order of Iliad GND 4.4 interconnect, shipped out in 2 weeks. Thanks @Eric Chong for an excellent and prompt experience. C9 deserves the best!

It depends on the configuration of the system. Prefer shielding ( Right shielding :)) )

And Eletech will join the C9 #Fam when it gets back in stock! :)

Nice , helps keeps the heat inside.
Look good, but exactly what I just thought LOL!! The heat dissipated is too much to even wrap the C9 in anything at all when C9 is at it best (Class A+ Tubes). Heat sinks is ok but nothing else . The case look good, but those vents are not going to conduct the thermal as supposed, because you will need something to conduct thermally between surfaces, not just sitting on them

Imagining a split case where one side sticks on with fins across much of the surface and the other half folds over and surrounds.
