Pinky, thanks for that. How would it pair with the Phantoms?

Pinky hasn't heard the Phantoms yet, unfortunately. But, Music Sanctuary should have those demos by the time I visit them next month. Stay tuned...

Yeah, unfortunate indeed. Someday, I do hope that will change. But right now, there's no doubt I have plenty on my plate.

Does anyone have pairing recommendations for a18t? I have a brimar grand master for my laylas and have heard no better cables for them, but i have heard some say gold plated cables might not be the best for a a18t.

That cable gave a good detail but sub bass was a bit loose while upper mid is a bit bright. It suite Layla II but for A18T which is neutral-bright IEMs, a bit more balanced cable combine with warm tone may suite it nice.

I love Wagnus Sievesheep.

1960s 2 wire is good one too.

Venom tamed it also have most liquid gold euphoric vocal I've ever heard

 

[alphanumerix1]

any idea's on what cable would pair nicely with the t8iemkii?

Xelento sounds similar so a cable someone has used for that as well with success will work.

Hmm thank you for your advice. Would the venom be significantly better than other hsa cables? Im not sure if i will like the woven shielding. It seems much thicker than 1960s too. Maybe ill ask HSA if they can make one without the fabric shielding. Do you have any experience comparing these to toxic cable's Gold Widow?

Significantly better but with specific sound signature. Venom aren't thicker than 1960s 4 wires (which too much upper mid to my ears when paired with U18Tzar). Venom tamed upper frequency to make U18Tzar sound more balance. Instrument sound more individual.

Haven't tried Toxic gold yet.

I havent seen any reviews on the toxic cables new flagships(medusa and gold widow) Has anyone seen reviews of them?

got this plussound ehco+ (8 wire) using as my desktop balanced cable.
Love it.

That is such a nice and rugged cable. I love how PlusSound has all these different sleeving options and that you can get a really durable cable built that still looks very pretty. The Poetic series for instance also looks really good and has a ton of colour options for unique designs or just straight up stealth black for a timeless classic look. Oh, so much temptation!

How about Brimar Kaiser hybrid cable? Here is a review for Kaiser with A18T in Russian (http://audio-ph.ru/reviews/obzor-kabelya-brimar-kaiser-vosmizhilnyi-provodnik-v-ligu-hi-end).

Brimar Omni King is another great cable for Layla.

 

[PinkyPowers]

Not an IEM cable, you say? Sue me.



My new Sennheiser HD800 cable.

Double Helix Cables Molecule Elite 19 Fusion.

Enhances every one of HD800's inherent virtues. Clearer. Cleaner. Better contrast, due to a blacker background. Bass is ever so slightly boosted, thanks to the crazy-thick 18.8AWG wire.

It's spectacular.

 

[EagleWings]

Pinky, does it help smooth the treble out a bit?

yes, it is very durable, but the whole cable is very very soft, which I really like!
It obviously gives Roxanne sub-bass tighter and deeper, also bring some clarity.
I don't use this cable a lot, cause I use my iems in my office, but if I want to use these small pieces of jewelry with the destop setup it always a lot of pleasure.

I may try mixing different cables using effect audio bespoke or custom order from plussound for my A18t.
Maybe plussound X8 in half t-metal and half copper based wire to add more warmth. (not sure if tri copper, gpc, or gp hybrid) Ive heard T-metal is a good match but a little bit bright.
Effect audio im thinking a mix between horus or leonidas with lionheart, bacchus, or mars. (not sure if bespoke will let me use dealer specific cables)
Ill keep you guys updated with what i end up getting. Please let me know if you have any idea of what combination would work.
