Anything new at CanJam?

When you have a classic, it’s much easier to put away thoughts of changing it out.

Absolutely- however, refinements are available. See my post about it on the Eletech thread here.When you have a classic, it’s much easier to put away thoughts of changing it out.

Got this beauty from @skedra to replace my broken Ares II for the Legend X. Wow, made a huge difference from my dinky temporary cables. It’s a 4 wire graphene coated SPC cable. The sheer weight of the music, soundstage, airiness, all improved. The bass also tightened up. It brought back my love for the Legend X. Was feeling down about it after my cable broke and was using crappy replacements.

I have a Doctor Juggles 4-wire graphene SPC cable(I think it is the same wire) and it is an outstanding cable.

I just did my first cable roll with Evo using Dr. Juggles not only can I hear the difference I can feel it!!! On stock cable, I had a sense of the bone conductor with Dr.J I definitely know it's there! It's so hard to put into words but the reverb & bass now have a fiscality to them. Treble also is going higher and much more distinctive.

I’d like to ask the community, would someone buy a new Odin, without the Stormbreaker but with an Orpheus (shielding) cable for USD6k?
Yes I would, considering what Orpheus currently costs (be it new or pre-loved). But whether it is the ideal pairing synergistically speaking is something I won’t be able to comment on. I’ve not heard Odin for sufficient time, just fleetingly.
Assuming both are in mint condition, the pricing is better than purchasing both as new. But in my estimation, $5k might be the price to interest me if I wanted both.I’d like to ask the community, would someone buy a new Odin, without the Stormbreaker but with an Orpheus (shielding) cable for USD6k?
I have no idea how they sound together, but I suspect it might be a great match as the Orpheus should smooth out some of the highs on the Odin without a loss of detail. If that occurs, could be special. But I have not heard anyone talk about this match.

You are spot on about the Orpheus taming the upper mids of the Odin; the Stormbreaker, even the 1960, have a similar signature but not the quality to do it. The Odin is not perfect, but I have not heard a better cable than the Orpheus to make it as good as it can be.I have no idea how they sound together, but I suspect it might be a great match as the Orpheus should smooth out some of the highs on the Odin without a loss of detail.

Thats a combo I would like to hear. I loved the clarity & detail that came with the Odin. My main problem was the highs.You are spot on about the Orpheus taming the upper mids of the Odin; the Stormbreaker, even the 1960, have a similar signature but not the quality to do it.

So, you have the Orph and Odin together?You are spot on about the Orpheus taming the upper mids of the Odin; the Stormbreaker, even the 1960, have a similar signature but not the quality to do it.
