  MIKE:
 
Glad to know you have the Headphone  Transducer. With all your many systems, you are the ideal person to put it to a comprehensive test. I think we may even see a smile on Warren's face when he gives the Transducer a listen.
 
 Your photos do a  good job of showing the transducer's size, and I am sure  they are the first to be published on the internet (does Mike Mercer ever sleep?). Your equipment pictures remind me of how far our hobby-passion has come since my first CanJam at the LA airport hotel in 2009.

 
I got my HOT today, and I am testing it out!  I have several DHC cables to use with it, as well as my LCD 2F and Alpha Dogs.  I haven't formed any opinions yet as to the sound.  I am using it with my LCD 2F and DHC Molecule Extreme at the moment.  All of my DHC cables are SE, and I have seven of them, so it will take some time to decide if I really like what I am hearing.  Seems like the sound resembles crossfeed, which I can turn off in my jRiver Media Center!  My ears don't really know what to listen for with the HOT, such a new product!

 
I returned the HOT for refund.  I use jPlay with jRiver Media Center, and I found that with jPlay 5.2.1 upgrade that jPlay exceeds the results that I was getting with the HOT.  This new version of jPlay is quite an upgrade from the previous 5.2, I'm blown away, more open, more detailed, more refined, bigger soundstage!

Peter:
 
I am so grateful we crossed paths brother.
NO BS.
 
I think Peter is doing some of the finest work in headphone cables today.
AND - I finally got a set of XLR interconnects from the man - so those are
going on my LAu tonight!!
 
But - in the meantime, I have to say that anybody who's heard the MAGIC synergy of DHC's Comp4 cables and Audeze cans - and those who HAVEN'T: Peters really nailed down something here that's beyond the high-end cable guys I most admire - like Nordost for example..
 
I only had the Comp4 cables in dual-XLR for my LAu - but recently got a Woo WA7 Fireflies (I know, late to that party - but I'm damn glad I decided to check it out) so I needed an SE version (single-ended) so Peter whipped up a Comp4 for Audeze w/ 1/4" termination.

HOLY F_____________!
 
This has been sounding so good I haven't gone back to my office/Sonic Satori Personal Audio Lab for days.
Well - last week was really HEAVY too, w/ my 40th Bday and the passing of Harry Pearson, my mentor and dear friend, and a Godfather to the Hi-fi industry really... 
 
But Peter - even the cable you made for my Beats Solo2s (yup, @HiFiGuy528 and @Tyll Hertsens told me to check em out, and they ain't bad) transforms the headphones! I'm not ashamed to share a pic of em w/ the WA7 - I even shot a pic of them w/ the AK240 - and the haters came out in droves... But AstellnKern put it on their Facebook wall!   LMAO

You have a really bright future Peter.
Just keep watching your back my friend!
Or, better yet, so you can focus on cables - 
get a knarly lawyer to protect all that gold...

So happy I got the DHC Complement Silver Peptide 22awg for my HD800. It has truly been a mind blowing experience. 
 
When I got the cable, I immediately thought that it was built superbly, it felt sturdy but flexible enough and very well built. 
 
It wasn't I listened to it that I was just amazed. I has expected it to be bright and a bad pairing with the HD800, but it wasn't at all. This cable seriously makes the stock SPC HD800 cable seem bright and a little off sounding. The bass hits quite a bit harder, and this isn't a minor difference, it is quite clear to my ears. The bass detail especially is much more defined and clear. The midrange is cleaner and has a similar tonality. It seems to have addressed the slight edge in the HD800's treble as well. Soundstage and imaging was improved too. 
 
This cable truly takes the HD800 to a new level to my ears and I am just in awe at what this cable does. I've tried a fair few cables in the past and I have only noticed minor changes, but this really is incredible. 
 
I recommend anyone who is looking for a HD800 cable and has the budget to go for this. It doesn't come cheap though, being well over $1000 for the one I have (I think).

that is an AMAZING DHC cable accompaniment for the HD800s!!
 
I just got a Comp4 mini-to-mini for my current favorite portable rig (& new cable for the Audezes - shot here, which I have to ask Peter to be SURE of the model, but I believe this is the new Comp4 (new sleeving, other attributes...)  - this portable rig, FINALLY, is so powerful and capable of finesse (and quiet enough for my Roxannes) - Peter does it again!!  Bravo P, Bravo...

Nice, it looks awesome.

Lol. 
 
I actually haven't heard any comments on the silver peptide complement cable so far, surely I can't be the only person who has it?

YES!
 
I found out from Peter that this is actually a new Comp4 cable I got (I just trust him, got next level? oohh, ow, Paypal, LOL):

 
It's called the Complement4 Copper
 
It's an amazing sonic accompaniment to the Audeze LCD-2F, 3F, and XC thus far! 
Trying the X soon.
 
I also have these dope DHC adapters that allow me to use ANY Audeze cable w/ my HD800s!
LOVE it...

Hi to all. I am eagerly awaiting a Fusion 6-wire for my 846 (w/ Hugo). It was tough deciding between the Fusion and the SP, given what I was sonically looking to improve, and thanks to a couple of good folks in this thread who through PMs helped me decide. Given the experience of people with DHC cables it seems I may be in for a treat.

be sure to discuss ALL your concerns w/ Peter, and he will sort you out w/ the best solution Since he's SO busy - he may talk fast - but he's listening to you - TRUST ME!
Peters become my #1 source for high end personal audio - man does he build incredible S___!
 
This sounds so good it's RIDICULOUS:
 
Audeze LCD-3 w/ Fazor
Double Helix Cables Comp4 XLR interconnects
Cavalli LAu
Double Helix Cables Comp4 dual-XLR

I would really like to try a Complement4 cable with my LCD3 fazor.  The price of entry is high to buy on faith.  Are demo's available?
