I’m joining the club with XE6 universal model, just wanted some suggestion on the tip that works well with these IEM
Congratulations! Meanwhile I am throughly enjoying my edm session with the Xe6! There is no denying the mid-bass but the treble is the unsung hero IMHO. YMMV of course!

Hi @giangp1! Good to see a fellow head-fier from HCMC!

Same!!

I had the code 51 on the side, in a box, ready to be sold. Then I asked myself about the pairing with the xe6, the ak sp3000 and the cayin c9 (ab/solid state).
And it is magic.
I couldn't put this system down.
Wow.

Is there a recommended replacement cable for the Xe6 stock cable (which is reasonable), that (even slightly) improves it sonically without "BREAKING the bank"?

Universl Xe6 with the silver atom, using the W1eartips.

Thanks
I am quite happy with Liquid Links Venom - nice improvement over stock. Also using W1 tips.

Check Impi cable from @doctorjuggles. They are really great with XE6

I see that you have both xe6 and blanc.
I think we're not a lot having both.

They are so complementary while being the most confortable iems out there 👍

Did try this NICEHCK silver cable. Claimed to be pure silver. I doubted that at the time of purchase
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuLbqvn
Do read the above specs.

I did AB it with the original Xe6 Cable.
I did come up with two observations:
1 did not find any sonic degradation nor contribution between this cable and the original (did not perform fatiguing tests)
2. The 2 pin connectors of this cable were much better than the original Xe6 cable, which tended to get slightly loose (had to push those in, frequently)

The cost of the cable was so low that I had no hesitation to give it a try.

Do comment please (see Aliexpress link above). I had the 2 pin wire (0.78) with pentaconn 4.4mm connetion.

Edit: also have a look here https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/nicehck-4-core-pure-silver-cables.24524/reviews

Thanks.
