Just purchased an Andromeda and looking for a cable to use with my WM1A. Any suggestions?

What kind of improvements are you looking for?

The problem (for me) with cables (a day the 64audio U6) is that I have many different headphones that I like. Since many use different types of connectors, I would need to buy multiples of the same cable to compare. Case in point... The 64audio U6 uses different connectors than the Westone, Final Audio Design, and Campfire iems I am mostly using right now. This hobby is a money pit...

See I'm lucky in that all my favourites at the moment use 2-pin connectors, you can get MMCX to 2-pin adaptors but they are not the neatest looking solution.

They are not bad if they go ovwr the ear and there is no memory wire

Who sells these adapters?

A very well-known Singaporean DIY-er, SGAudioHive, can probably make some for you. You can check out his Instagram to take a look at his work.

Effect can make them, just send a message:

Those are a bit of a hassle to use in my opinion as I feel that the connection length will be too long and stress the mmcx.maybe would work bwttee with angled connectors?

Oh no we actually don't. It is actually not for sale. We have yet to find a solution to this particular connection without significant signal degradation as well as ensuring the built quality. As you can see in the pics, it's of a subpar built and is not a product that fit EA products portfolio and minimum level of workmanship. The adaptors above are a temporary interim solution for dealers to ease their demo/audition process until we can find a apt solution.

I do not know about long term use of adaptors, I agree an angled design would be best but then the angle of the memory wire from the 2-pin cable would be all wrong...

something like this ( https://www.instagram.com/p/BPCuODVDgAA/ ) but think of it with connectors reversed (female 2pin to male mmcx)

The issue with one like that is the signal path is longer, and most cables have memory wire which means it'll look really odd having the part that is supposed to sit behind your ear curling by your neck... not ergonomic in my opinion. And that short section of cable has the ability to alter the sound.

Ahhh, therein lies the problem...
