I find the EM-6 to have incredible synergy with the Han Sound Muse II.

I totally get that if companies dont support specific market in terms of marketing and PR, especially with newer markets such as IEMs, then they cant expect to heard, but all three of these cables can work with IEMs and surely cant be discounted because they dont court their would be customers.

That said, before my recent conversion, i knew very little about the current state of play in the top end IEM market which is dominated by companies i'd never heard of

thanks for the advice and from the short amount of time I’ve been here it’s certainly been fun, friendly and above all enlightening. :)rob

Well, the marketing thing was sort of a secondary point in my post; the main one being their lack of support for IEMs. Although they can be converted into IEM cables, they'd require re-terminations of some sort. Ninety-nine percent of IEM cables today already come in IEM cable form - with proper terminations on both the transducer and source ends for use with IEMs. They've also been optimised for IEMs ergonomically, while speaker and headphone cables tend to be stiffer and less pliant, particularly due to the high amounts of shielding that come with cables of these kinds.

Looking forward to trying some of these iem specialist brands and comparing to the atlas and chords. Get what your saying and makes total sense, thanks

@SeeSax : I searched in e-earphone, but I didn't find Rhapsodio cable product. Could you give me link so that I will update the list? By the way, I thought that it will be good if the thread starter, @flinkenick , will bring my cable company list into his first post. :writing_hand:

I don't see the connection between your list and Nic's shootout. This does not belong on the 1st post.
