What's the current turnaround looking like approximately? In the market for a new cable!
Forza AudioWorks Impressions Thread
- Thread starter ossomac
- Start date
I live in the US and ordered a Claire HPC Mk.2. From order to delivery it was 9 days. That is much faster than many other custom cable manufacturers.
I was completely wrong when I said it took 9 days to deliver a cable to my US address. It took.............7 days!
Here is an (amateur) picture of my recent arrival of the Claire HPC Mk. 2 cable along with my Kennerton Gjallarhorn GH50 JM Edition headphones and my Quicksilver headphone amp.
There is definitely more detail with the FAW cable but a little bright and lightweight out-of-the-box as compared to the stock Kennerton OFC copper cable; I expect the sound to become more full and neutral as it breaks in. But the great news is that the FAW cable is not microphonic like the stock cable which required me to sit in a catatonic state to avoid bumping or scratching the cable against my shirt which resulted in thumps and scratchy sounds through the Gjallarhorns. That alone was worth the price of admission.
The cable is nicely done.

Can someone please remind me which channel the connector with the green dot represents? I seem to remember a post a while back indicating it is the right channel but wanted to confirm. Wish these just had the channels marked like my stock cable. Thanks.
Yes, right
Does anybody see different pricing when logged in vs. logged out?
I have just placed an order for a Claire Hybrid HPC for my Focal Utopia (1.5m with 6.3mm ViaBlue) and the price was 249 EUR before begin logged in, but 202.44 EUR when logged in. I certainly did not pay 249 EUR neither... bizarre!

Maybe it’s VAT
Maybe it’s VAT
That would certainly make sense! I'm very happy to have paid a lower price than I anticipated, but also happy to make up the difference to FAW if it is a bug on their end. I emailed to enquire.
received my new forza audio works xlr cable for my meze empyrean.

Yes, I noticed that also when I placed my order for Claire HPC Mk. 2. Maybe it is the VAT which we thankfully don't have here in the States.
LUCKY U! 22% here in italy ;(
Well, it's not like they are tax-less. There are still taxes and premiums on items they buy in the chain of commerce. Off-topic but you paying 22% VAT in Italy is not inherently worse than somebody in the US not paying 22% "tax". /end
Wanted to ask again whether anyone has any experience with FAW USB cables. Are they as good as the headphone cables? Thanks.

I got several usb cables. Work as they should, build like a tank.
Wow. I ordered 24 hours ago and have just received a DHL shipment notification. Should arrive next Tuesday. Under a week from order to receipt if DHL's estimate is right.
Impressive.
Impressive.
