For the A8000, the Torfa 4 is a good match. Kei is stock cable of A8000?

Kei is the stock cable of a8k (silver plated ofc) (seems it is same for e5000 and b1~3 as well)

I just want to boost the transparency further with a8k, of course better imaging would be nice. Torfa4 do that right?

Oh, the Kei is a very ordinary cable. Torfa 4 does it for sure but it is ard 1700 USD. What is your budget?

Under 1000$ maybe, otherwise i will be better off with a new dap on the go

I wrote a review for the Gold 16, which I think should get more attention than it currently has

Hi.

I have Amethyst and it turned green recently. As far as I understand it is silver so shouldn't do that. Can someone confirm?

Any metal is capable of oxidising if it isn't a Litz (or enamelled) cable.

No, it shouldn’t turn green, even if you have a non litz pure silver cable, silver can’t turn green. That wire is SPC, i think.

labkable？ they are famous for crap quality product and ****ed up scamming advertising. that cable claim to be pure silver right？ well.........you need Cooper to form green dioxide. silver have black dioxide

Ah, I see, thanks for the explanation. Now that I think about it, the silver cables I’ve seen turn green were indeed SPC. I have a couple here myself. So, yes, the silver in that cable is most probably SPC.

I guess I should avoid labkable then. In my experience, I've seen litz wires that turned green after a while too. They were a demo unit in a store and had seen many years of use. The cable over the ear went really green.

Hey guys, just want to make sure. Can I plug in a 3.5 balanced into 3.5 unbalanced?

No, their terminals are wired differently. You'd need a 3.5mm-balanced-to-3.5mm-unbalanced adapter.
