Double Helix Cables Thread

Here's a photo. I originally ordered the silver, which you see here, then in an email I specified another color.
 
Peter had forgotten about that email, so when I got the package I was, at first, really bummed.
When I mentioned the mix-up to him, to his credit he offered to make another one for me and ship it ASAP. 
 
Great, I said. But then over the course of the day I just grew attached to this cable. Like, this specific cable. Totally irrational, totally ridiculous, but I notice that this happens with the best equipment. 
 
So, I told him I didn't need the other one. This cable is my baby and ain't no one taking it away!!

If I need to email Peter to change something, how do I contact him?
Tx.

I'm not sure if he would appreciate me posting his email address on the web, but it should be either on his site or a confirmation email for any orders.

Cold you pm me? I just wanted to change the color of my Cable sleeve.
No confirmation email from Peter yet.
I believe last time for my P7 cable email was part has been shipped. I just don't want like that this time.

That's not good, you've got to separate yourself from work, otherwise you'll go mad!! The Symbiote SP, are still in my immediate future. Relax...

 
 

  oh man - NICE!!!!!
 
When I threw my new DHC on my ETHER-Cs w/ the Questyle CMA600i headphone amp/DAC - DAAAAM!
 
I usually don't shy away from saying the maker of the cable I was using prior to DHC just for giggles - but, this time Peters lead
made such a dramatic difference I don't wanna say what the other lead was!
 
But this is simply magical

 
hi, i'm new here and i'm looking for a dhc for my ether c. On your picture, is it the dhc molecule Elite?

now shhhsush guys, my gsx mk2 amp is almost ready to be shipped i need my xlr and rca chaperone 3 interconnects, no more orders till mine are ready 

lol. I have found this thread.

IMO Peter doesn't reply web contact page email most of the time, all my reply were obtained after the order was placed or from my old email conversations with Peter.

Guess web contact page just not enough to draw Peter's attention.

This cool cat filed a chargeback on his cable he got months ago.  There's email evidence of him thanking me for the cable, photo of his one of a kind cable, fedex invoice showing the package delivered to his confirmed paypal billing address, and so on.

Not cool at all. Hope you get it sorted Peter.

Anyone tried the Symbiote SP 8-wire for Sirens Series and can give an impression about it? Currently searching for a suitable cable for my custom Layla.

OH no....  guys, we can soon send all our cable back to DHC for re-wiring  : 
 
Another new "standard" is coming for Balanced Headphones :  4.4mm balanced with 5 poles
 
 

 
 
 
 (the next SONY walkman, to be anounced next thursday Sept 1st, shoud use it...) 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 
The "new standard" 4.4 mm connector (5 poles) is the one in the middle.
 
 
 
QUESTION : what is the point of having 5 poles ?  Isn't 4 enough for a bal. headphone ?? (R+  R-   L+   L- ) ?

It's for ground.

What for ?  Even the big XLR plugs for desktop headphones are only 4 pins !

Looks like there's some redundancy for compatibility: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/canjam-rmaf-2014-showstopper-sonys-proposed-new-industry-standard-headphone-plugs#AUJoVrZEYbi3ZYJo.97
 
There is also a standard, P.382, where the 5th pole is for a mic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)

Sony loves their "new standard" stuff, and I wish them Betamax/minidisc success with this.
