Hmm...wait a minute. Did you maintain the proper 2:1 cable to IEM ratio after selling me two of your cables? Please do not reply without the proper ratio. :p

Now I'm way under, time to buy more!

Did they arrive today?

Yep...wife stayed home to receive it for me. She then promptly set it on the steps and went upstairs leaving my dog to chew through the package. Fortunately (according to her), he only damaged the outer box, and the cables are intact. WHEW!!!

Received the Oslo cable yesterday. It's one of the most well made I've had to date and so lovely to look at, it's soft with next to no microphonics plus the awsome plug is indeed....awsome! It's very well made and sturdy.

It pairs so well with the A12t and can confirm the 2 pin connectors fit with no issues. Everything sounds nicely balanced using the M15 module, the bass has a velvety analogue sound with great texture. Mids are present with more of an emotional tilt, it's certainly brought them alive. Highs are nicely articulated with enough air to go around. The soundstage is big as well, sounds very grand and gives everything a nice breathing space. I know this isn't exactly a cheap cable but nice to know you don't have to spend 2-3 times more to fine tune monitors to get this wonderful sound.

My take on the Plussound Exo Tri-Silver. Can't go wrong with the Tri-Silver if you want an incisive bass expression, forward midrange and engaging treble!
Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always! :)

New PW Audio cable "Satan" coming soon. No details and price yet.

Looks like a perfect color combination with the Noble Khan!

Any impressions of the Penon Neo/ Leo? I know they're under the generally accepted "high end" threshold, but they're also well over the "cheap" threshold. :wink:

I can only find one review of the Neo, and none of the Leo.

I've got a set of 1960's on my Legend X's, both sold to me by a head-fier on here... but now the 1950's intrigues me. Any thoughts on the two for the Legend X's?

Are there any cables that really smooth over the region from 2k to 5k but is slightly emphasized above 6k? this is really dumb, I know

When I run my fingers over these cables, they feel very smooth over the entire region :D

But seriously, you know what I'm gonna say, man. Pick the right IEM with a signature of your preference, then choose the cable to fine tune it. I'm a big cable believer and user, but don't expect a drastic EQ adjustment beyond baseline signature of your IEM.

My take on the Han Sound Venom. Precise bass expression, focused midrange imbued with a tinge of warmth and smooth yet detailed treble. Excellent resolution & black background.
Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always! :)
