Tell me you have some Surströmming with onion on tunnbrod. Tasty!

Indeed but it's the wrong time of the year. It's a typical August thing :wink:

My friend is gonna buy the lz a6 and he wants to know which connection type to choose, 2 pin or mmcx. What is usually the better/durable of them?

If you are clear that there are 2 pins that will fit the A6 I would say 2 pin, but there are many unique two pin fitments and that can cause some problems in choice of cables. MMCX can make life simple and if it's made well will be OK. On some cheaper MMCX their are definitely QC problems. If you want to experiment with aftermarket cables MMCX might be useful unless you know 2 pins that will fit.

Will check the 2pin, since my friend doesn't have any cables that makes it easier to just buy a cable for the correct 2pin port. Thanks

None of my friends could care any less about IEMs.... The one who is into headphones only cares about over the ear open back headphones and thinks IEMs are crap.

Anyway, the 2 pin connector on the A6 looks like the most common type, so most 2 pin aftermarket cables should be fine and would say if they're really for sometime else (tfz, qdc, etc). 2 pin is probably preferred by 75% of folks around these parts, but on a set that expensive, the mmcx connectors should be good quality too.

This JCAlly cable fits well my A6.
It is also very handsome and gives it a premium look.

Its resistance measures low enough in @hakuzen list which inspired me in the first place to get it for $12 at BF sale.

I also favor it because it's only 4 strands instead of 8 or more but the strands have more cores and are thicker than usual hence it measures better than many 8 strands. Weight and flexibility is about middle ground between 4 and 8 strands, overall good or very good in my book.

I have a couple of 8 strands cables and I find them heavy and lacking portability which detracts from any IEM overall value imo as I mainly use them while commuting, 4 strands all the way for me.

Disclaimer: ppl and vendors use term such as strands, cores, shares interchangeably but you get the drift.
