I'd ask at Final directly, I think.

Hi Matez, what I meant was, I bought the Noir Hybrid HPC directly from Forza Audioworks in late July 2020 and I'm trying to find out if that cable I bought includes the "new hybrid wires with hand woven damping core made of Java cotton" as stated on the Forza Audioworks website.

Thanks!

Another one classy cable from Forza Audioworks. A Noir HPC Mk2 with Neutrik XLR connector. for my Hifiman Sundara. Great quality as always.

@Matez

Hi Matez,
I also wanted to thank you for the very nicely made cable for my HE1000SE and the extender with the great Furutech connectors in the Noir Hybrit HPC version.
Very great work and very fast implementation of the wishes, even with a subsequent extension of the extender (now you know for sure who I am :wink: ).

Am very satisfied and can highly recommend the cables!!! :clap:

Greetings from Germany

Thanks a lot and yes, I remember you :) Have fun!

They easily beat my Stax Lambdas...

Those Stax cans I'll need to listen to one day.

Questyle CMA

I had their CMA 800R for Senns HD800 and loved that combo, but it was many years ago.

This has been around for about three years or so you have it :)

CMA 800R is part of their Golden Reference amp. It has to be good. Still feel I miss the CMA 12 but I've just pick up a Elekit 8200.... out of nowhere. Didn't plan it but when I saw it, I knew this could be a lot of fun, experimenting with some gorgeous tubes and of course with headphones and speakers.

@Matez still no sign of my Noir Hybrid HPC. I've email you to check your Warsaw end. Tracking still shows in Warsaw since 12th Jan but then it may not be giving the true picture. :)

@UntilThen

Re your shipment... just be aware that things take time during this pandemic. In 2020 I bought roughly 20 audio things from the U.S. I received them anywhere from within 10 days to 3 months. Not a single package was lost or damaged, but man, things take time between continents these days. And that's always the story, you have a last update, then nothing, then 3 weeks or 5 weeks later it appears.

Good luck and much patience. It's definitely worth it for FAW cables. :)

@CaptainFantastic you're quite right. Not complaining here. It's a case of anxiety as I have already heard the Noir Hybrid HPC that belongs to my son's Arya on my He1000se.... and it was great !

So anyway sit back and play with my other gear. Picking up the Elekit 8200 this morning... as if I don't have enough amps but this one has a lot of tubes to play with. :)

These arrived today. Took four days from Poland to western Canada. Paid some customs on these but I figured no big deal considering the global trying times. Original order placed Jan 10 so overall wait time was short.

Both cables are for Meze 99 Classics. One ’regular hybrid’ w/ 4.4mm and other is “Claire Hybrid” w/ XLR balanced. Love the look of these and they appear to be solidly built. I will now begin to procure some more for IEMs, likely get at least one “Noire“ to try.

Apologies for the messy photos but let’s pretend these are hidden object search picture puzzles. :smile:

Nice pads, what are these? Will gladly hear some impressions from new cables :)

Good catch! The pads are Brainwavz Micro Suede. The stock ones with Meze although fit will are just not comfortable enough.

Listening will happen once I receive Schiit Modius/Magnius stack. That is why I ordered XLR.

Hey, i received my 1,5m Noir Hybrid HPC for my Denon 7200 last week but I have some problems with the cable, it's to thick, a bit to long and makes sometimes noises on my clothing.. :frowning2:
Is there any option/goodwill to exchange/refund (maybe with a bit off), i thinking about buying a new one (1,25m), thinner and shorter (Copper Series HPC MK2/Hybrid Series HPC)?
Have anyone a picture from the "Semi-Transparent Black" Version and the Neutruk Plug 6.3mm?

best regards

Have the Claire HPC (2m) and Claire Hybrid Semi black (1m) on hand.
The Noir Hybrid is 2.5m long.
Sadly no 6.3 neutrik plug.
