Mateusz sometimes takes his time and is hard to contact, but I have always received my cables in the end, and the wait has always been worth it!

Thanks! :)

but I can see how with such a small company some orders have a different experience.

Yes, I'm no Amazon, and just to have everything buttoned up even smallest things require my attention and that takes a lot of time unfortunately. Perks of running a boutique made-to-order shop :D That's of course no excuse on my end and I understand how customers used to Amazon workflow once in a while feel that mine is off. Still, for years I've been doing my best to leave no customer behind, even if once in a while comms with me are stretched a bit. It's all good :)

You are comparing a massive company to a boutique one-man artisanal shop. Matt offers something Thomann and Amazon can't provide. :)

Thanks to you too :)

Guys....my Noir Hybrid HPC arrived to squeeze the best out of my Stellia. What a nice bulit cable. It looks fantastic! Awsome haptic and no microphonics. Soundwise bass definitely sounds better and there is more transparency than with the stock cable.....really a great one for a more than reasonable price. Now 100h burn in....

Matt...thanks a lot for this great cable and the fast shipping

Sure, my pleasure!

Mine is also on the way, another cable (Noir) is still in progress for my hd´s. Hope it is ready as fast as your´s to squeeze my headphones.
Enjoy :beerchug:

Currently I'm up to speed with all orders so you should get yours rather sooner than later :)

Hi Matt,
I just want apologize to you,that I lost patience and get angry.
I received my cable today.It is very nice cable and I am not hifi man,but hear that my Meze classic sound better.I am satisfied.
It's clear that make Business and be successful must be very hard.And you achieve...I respect that.I wish you patience with your customers.

Bye robur44@gmail.com

Thanks! And all good, we're all just humans and we all lost our temper once in a while. It's all OK, honestly :)

Enjoy your new cable, may it serve you well :)

There seems to be a problem with the FAW website today. According to Safari, the certificate has expired...

I had to make an account just to thank you Matt. He went above and beyond on my Claire HPC Mk2, added a Furutech CF-7445 (R) 4.4mm and a Furutech FT-2PS-F. Pretty much end game for me haha.
Got it connected to my 58x and going through a ifi hip-dac definitely hearing improvements. Looks awesome too in the semi-transparent black.
If your looking for a new cable hit up matt especially if you want something more specific his work is outstanding.

I believe you are putting the finishing touches to my HD250 cable. Just a word on the connectors: I just tried your HD25 cable on the HD250s. The plug fits perfectly (the pins are definitely not too thick). The only thing is that the plug fits quite loosely and can easily be pulled out. My current cable uses Chinese connectors which appear to have a slightly wider barrel (and fit tightly). The plugs definitely don’t need to be narrower- or they will fall out!

Just to clarify: we are talking about an early 300 Ohm HD250 Linear 1:

Thanks for nfo. I've been using these plugs for a while now and they're the best ones I could find on mechanical fit. Pins on yours look a bit wider though. Btw. how old are your cans?

The cans are 300 Ohm Linear 1s, so quite early, I suppose. As I bought them secondhand, I don’t know exactly how old they are.

As for the cables, the cans came with the original DIN cable with red and yellow connectors (which sounded awful). The cable in the picture is an aftermarket HD6x0 cable, bought on Taobao in China in 2012 or so.

Thanks for the cable. I’ve been using it for a couple of days now, and it really tidies up the treble and increases bass extension. The HD250s are now my go-to closed backs for OTL amplification.

For piano or voice via solid state amplification I still prefer the DT48A...😀

BTW, the connectors fit securely.

A couple of days ago I received notice from Matthew that my Noir Hybrid HPC was finished and just shipped, giving a UPS tracking number. I've been checking the tracking status, and its been stuck at
"Held in Warehouse - UPS is holding the cargo at a secure facility, pending instructions and agreement."
No response from Matthew to my inquiry about this, asking when the holdup will be resolved and the package sent on its way to me.

Has anyone had this sort of experience with Forza, and if so, how did it turn out?
