If it's gold plated, it will likely wear off sooner with multiple plugging/unplugging. Rhodium plated connectors as used by Furutech usually last longer.

as a conductor rhodium isn't as good as copper which in turn isn't as good as silver however its holds a shine which is why it's used in jewellery especially on rings where over time they can become dull and change colour. The 4.4mm connection is the most robust choice plus easier to 'wire up'. I would ask one question and that would be have you ever had a 3.5mm jack wear out on you, I'd say it would be just about as rare as rhodium lol

Right but these are plated on the connectors, usually over a copper alloy such as brass or bronze (some pure copper). So super thin coating which I don't think would matter in terms of conducting. You can certainly test the resistance, there's a thread on here with posts on some cables and their resistance.

I have the Noir Hybrid for my HD800S, and it's magnificent. How does the Claire Hybrid compare?

Just about to hit 'buy' on FAW Noir HPC for my D9200

Can you confirm it doesn't brighten the treble more than the short stock cable. I enjoy the 9200 treble but for me it's just on the limit and wouldn't want to tip over the edge. Cheers.

Out of the box with no burn in to my ears it does not brighten the treble. Makes it slightly smoother and rounded thought I never found the d9200 treble too bright to begin with so..

Don't worry, even with my Noir Hybrid the D9200 sounds great.

Imo, what brightens the sound the most is a volume level set too high.

If it's not too late, bear in mind the cable is very heavy. I would change the beautiful, but heavy splitter with a different one.

Looks really pretty.

But where is the L and R indications?

Does it make any sense? Usually, they have a green mark on the right one.
