Absolutely Mat, it would be my pleasure

Thank you!

New Forza AudioWorks 4.4mm to 4.4mm interconnect with all five poles used so it works line into ifi Diablo. Many 4.4mm interconnects only use four of the five poles, omitting the ground, and they don’t play nice with the Diablo.

Matches the Forza HD600 cable.

That view is absolutely stunning, thanks a lot for sharing

I have to say that your black HifiMan cans go really well with the Noir!

Picked up a Forza cable,really like the flexibility/softness. Forgive my ignorance, any way to tell visually which series of cable this is? From the website I had a hard time seeing any visual cues that were different between the Hybrid, HPC Mk2, etc.. Thx!

I think it's the Noir HPC Mk2, which is very similar to the Noir Hybrid HPC.

Hey,

could be Noir Hybrid HPC (pure copper and silver) or even Noir HPC MK2 (pure copper). Only the initial buyer knows or maybe Mat himself by eventually remembering the owner by sent pic.

Otherwise you couldn't know, cause outer black sleeve is the same on both.

Maybe one of them is a little bit more flexible, but i couldn't say, if i could "detect it" or even while rolling the litz within the sleeve between my fingers...
Measure the resistance isn't an indicator too i'd say.
But at all, it is a newer one cause of the splitter finish.

Could i may ask why you would like to know about? Do you have bought it second hand?

Cheers

I think that asking Matt about a specific Noir order is the only way to know whether it's copper or hybrid. In both cases his conductors are hidden inside their black outer sleeves, so yeah...

@Matez new upscaled Noire announced on Facebook.

What does upscaled mean here?
Thicker gauge?
More silver?

Noir or Noir Hybrid?

Maybe 16 strands.

Too heavy.
I guess he mean the burn in service, could be wrong.

Not for the market, most cable manufacturers have offerings with more than twice the cable mass of a Noire and they sell very well.

Personally I don't think that the new release has 16 strands, but who knows

I'd imagine it's just a premium version of the Noire Hybrid with Furutech plugs, similar to Moon Audio's premium line. Could be wrong, though.

Wouldn't that be weird to make an announcement of the sort for it though?
You could order the Noire Hybrid with Furutech plug for years.
