FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread
Jul 20, 2016 at 11:17 AM Post #4,471 of 7,931
So is the reigning solution for cable frustrations to pick up the original FLC8 cable, instead; or are there any inexpensive aftermarket options currently available? I'm not a believer in cables fundamentally altering sound signatures or anything like that. I don't want a $7,000 liquid crystal 96-core pure titanium cable made by Moon Audio. I just want a cable that doesn't kink, will hold up to long-term use, and fits the IEMs properly.

You can contact LMUE to buy the original flc8 cable. Or you can get a null audio arete cable. Mine is coming today :).

And
And I'm guessing any other place like eBay is a bad idea

Just do your research. There are legit dealers on eBay. I purchased mine from one and it's all good.

Let us know what you think once you've got it and tried it.

For your priorities the original FLC8 cable will serve you well, and it's quite inexpensive. Just mail LMUE, they will tell you how to order. I think it was 24 USD shipped.

Hahaha, good one.
 
Though on a serious note, moon audios silver dragon cables are really pretty good. And the Black Dragon is available for $150 - the FLC replacement cable sells for $145 - so not really a huge difference. :)
 
Cheers.

My null audio arete 2.5mm cable just came. It's just perfect for me. No more springy, microphonics

...lovely pics deleted....

Nice! I opted for the all nylon sheathing as reviews stated it was the most 'least-microphonic' cable compared to the see-thru silicon. If you're not finding any microphonics with yours I may get another set so I can see the pretty colours.

Though I miss my FLC8S, it is going to be replaced by the Fidue Sirius.

Looks good. How is the fit?


Really tight cus it's 0.75mm, it's not 0.74mm like stock cable

Im not sure about you. But for me i didn't notice any microphonics. And i think the sound better than the flc 8s silver upgrade cable :).

Btw, If someone in the US need a original flc cable, i'll sell it. I bought one from LMUE a month ago but i just used 2 or 3 times. Now i have a null audio arete cable, so i don't need it anymore.
