Hi @flinkenick i just woke up from my afternoon siesta , i have a nescafe frappe in hand and i am waiting for numero 5
please don't make me wait bring it on (this sounded weird )
A frappe is an ice coffee over there, right?
The best ice coffee I ever had was in Greece...and so was the self made yoghurt with honey and the delicious tomato/onion salads with feta and the roasted lamb and the baklava and...omg I'm starting to drool over here, I should probably move to Greece for the food alone
Btw, I don't think we get the #5 this week, or the next, or the next, etc...well, you get the picture. I guess it's called 'cliffhanger time'
Well this is a very personal thing. The 4-Wire is a spectacular cable, without a doubt elite in the world of cables. Its transparency and resolution are special, and it will bring out an abundance of detail in the W900, as well as more treble sparkle. But lately I care more about timbre than microdetail, so I prefer a warmer cable with the W900. But I think it's safe to say 90% of the people would prefer the pairing with 4-Wire.
I would always prefer to pair with IEM-R4 but W900 has recessed sockets unfortunately, without a doubt its greatest weakness hehe.
Agreed. I recently purchased a 2-wire 1960s to pair with my Zeus-XR, as I thought the 4-wire gave it an unnatural treble boost and lacked the added mid-bass body/warmth of the 2-wire, despite the improved transparency, staging, and precision. The 4-wire being twice the price had absolutely nothing to do with it...

No iem this week?
What if @flinkenick's post about taking a break is a fake out and we're minutes away from getting all five reviews at the same time?
Awwww... That's just so cute. You made my day!

Or maybe he wants us to raise and donate one billion dollar to reveal the rest?
I guess that must have been his evil plan down from the start
But hey, as he's in London for the weekend, maybe we can find/send a local secret agent (with some mojo) to make him post that last 5 reviews...

Well, like I wrote: that secret agent just gotta have Mojo.
Looks like you've got an iFi Micro iDSD instead of a Mojo
Nice to see/read you guys have such a good time over there already

Thanks for the invitation! Maybe you should contact Jude about a CanJam Athens (location: Acropolis) next year so we can all come over
Enjoy your upcoming holiday!
