Hello, the cable is not as supple as 1960s but it is not stiff definitely.

Initial thought: Bass is deep and less punchy than 1960s. High is less sharp (or I would say less emphasis than on 1960s). The best part is for female vocal, I think it's a bit better than 1960s. I would say OSLO is a very musical cable. Microphonic is as good as 1960s. Still need more time to let it burn-in.
YMMV

very interesting, where did you find it, I've been looking for an online seller, but i could find one that has the cable in stock?

I sent email to dita audio directly and placed my order there. They have yet to update the web page.

The person who helped me is named Darren. I love this cable so far, even though I already have 2 wire 1960s.

thanks,
i might give it a try, the 1960 is one of my favorite cable too, but the dita plug is a big benefit for me.

Don't forget the contact enhancer. It really does the magic

For anyone interested I just posted my review of the BTG-Audio Starlight. Great value cable. Enjoy.

Anyone has an idea how microphonic PW 1960 2-wire cable is? I thought EA Leo II was pretty good but wondering how 1960 compares to Leo.

It’s not microphonic at all, extremely supple.
Of all the cables I own, it’s the most flexible one. Just keep in mind that the sound signature is different from the Leo.

Any cable suggestions for the A18t? I’m using the PW Audio 1950s right now with my SP1000M but I’m considering something slightly cheaper with a little more bass impact.

How different? Would you care to explain a little?

The 1960 pulls forward the mid and bass, the Leoni’s more transparent and extends the treble and has a slightly higher resolution.

What’s your price point?
I would recommend the PW 1960 or the EA Janus D.

You’ll loose some resolution and sound stage compared to the 1950, but I agree Theis cable has very lean bass. If you want to keep the same amount of soundstage than I’ll recommend the 1960, but it’s freaking expensive.

Thanks for your quick impression. If it takes away the transparency and resolution, then it is not for me.

More or less anything cheaper than the 1950s so just about any cable lol. The Janus ergonomics were terrible for me.

Yea, the Janus is a little too thick to be comfortable, the A18 has already enough bass on its own, any cable would be an improvement compared to the 1950 (in term of bass), try the Leo II.

I’m actually really liking the sound of the provided cable from 64 Audio but it’s 3.5mm and I can’t take advantage of the balanced port on my DAP, lol.

I’ll see if the 1950s sells, cables at this price are always a slow shift. Then I’ll start looking around more. I’m also considering changing to the Gold SP1000M as it’s supposed to be a more warm signature but I’ll see on that one.
