super cool edwardsean. thankyou. may i ask what iem you were using and also have you heard the pw1950s say for comparison? i run 1950 and whilst it is thrilling, it definitely chops and changes sound so something more honest is up my alley big time!

I auditioned the cables with my LCDi4. I haven’t heard the PWAudio offerings. I know so many people hold them in such high regard, but my bias is always toward silver.
I do believe that the Horus is an amazingly honest cable. It has a true transparency with a clarity that is smooth and full not thin and bright.

Hey folks! Here's a review for one of my recent favourites: Han Sound Audio's 8-wire Aegis. It combines spaciousness, separation and imaging precision with organic, mellow warmth like no other cable I've experienced before, and all at a still reasonable price compared to today's high-end offerings. Enjoy!

Another masterful creation by David at Triton Audio cables. This uses high-end Cardas copper wire and provides an awesome holographic-like sound on the U18T. The Labkable Titan Au I had on previously is warmer and more organic, but this takes detail into new heights. I think this will be my permanent pairing (which means at least one week).

Collin, you can't bring up Cardas copper wire without offering how it compares to 1960, bud

Well I had the 1960 on the tour a few months ago, but let's be honest, I'm already not even skilled enough to do a cable review or comparison...let alone by memory!
I think it sounds equally good from what I remember

That Eidolic hardware is ridiculously good-looking.

May I ask which IEM/CIEM are you using with Kasai? You said it has warm and robust sound but the details are still there? Thanks.
Nice! I hope you enjoy it. I'm not sure how much longer they will be around as the Yuki just got discontinued in preparation for some new upcoming models.Based on your recommendation, I placed an order . Now, the waiting game
I was testing with the ones mentioned in my review (Moondrop KXXS, CA FIBAE Black and Fearless S8f). Plus I also use it with my M-Fidelity SA-50.May I ask which IEM/CIEM are you using with Kasai? You said it has warm and robust sound but the details are still there? Thanks.
Ooh, almost missed this post... Looks very nice! David is doing some great work at the moment.Another masterful creation by David at Triton Audio cables.

I am seeking cable upgrade suggestion for maximum optimization of the Zeus. At the moment I have paired the EA Thor Silver II. I have been thinking of getting the Wagnus Frosty Sheep Mastering edition. Other suggestions will be helpful too.
Zeus XR user here , if you are on a budget the EA Lionheart (4w) works very well with Zeus , beefs up the sound while retaining Zeus' amazing clarity/imaging/separation - and i prefer it over aresii(8w) without hesitation
if you have money to spend , i hear that pw 1960s (2w) is amazing with zeus , if i win a lottery ticket i am buying it asap (for now i am dead broke , so Lionheart is great no need to be greedy/ungrateful)
Zeus is fantastic , i don't find it lean and i am pairing it with WM1A which is kinda neutralish dap with a touch of warmth
good luck with your cable search

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually the harshness was due to less burn-in of Zeus, wrongly paired cable - Thor silver cable and Zeus is already bright. So I ended up buying the Frosty Sheep Mastering Edition. This is my first high-end cable purchase - and I am a realizer - cable does change sound ! It added a silky signature with retaining micro details, a fine smooth blend on the mids and highs, not much additions to the lows, some expansion in the soundstage, but not much airiness though. I feel I like I was touching a rough wood which has been burnished now. Especially Vinyl rips are so enjoyable nowZeus XR user here , if you are on a budget the EA Lionheart (4w) works very well with Zeus , beefs up the sound while retaining Zeus' amazing clarity/imaging/separation - and i prefer it over aresii(8w) without hesitation

I am quite happy with it, but still just of curiosity and experiment, now I am so interested to try many other cables to explore signature alteration - good pairing or worse paring ! So I am keeping in mind - pw 1960s and Rhapsodio copper wizard mk2 for next try out.
