I published my first cable review. It was an eye-opener. I feel... contaminated. Your sins are now mine. We are as one fallen people.

When Rudeness Wins You Over – A Review of the plusSound X6 T-Metal CIEM Cable

(TOTL?) Cable shootout would be super-dope. Haha, Vergil sounds like a good name. What was the name of your U12 before?
 
Isn't height represented by the Y-axis? Z-axis is for depth, X for width (to my understanding).

Will be interesting to compare the T-metal with the Hybrid-Gold from plusSound.
 
That's what you get for hanging around the dark side.

That's what you get for hanging around the dark side. You get smeared on your back, pushed off a lake, and a whole new adventure underwater.


You may be right. I did a quick Google when I wrote that, and the source I looked at had the Z axis as Up/Down. Perhaps I should have been more thorough.

Doesn't matter with Axis is vertical. The key is they are all perpendicular. But, yes, traditionally z is for depth.

Yes, it doesn't. What matters is the review, which is fun and great. Pinky style :) Looking forward to reading more in the future.

(From review) "[COLOR=4D4D4D]I guess two things can shoot at each other". Haha![/COLOR]


Great review Pinky! I have the previous-gen Trimetal in 2-wire which suited me just fine..


They do make a mighty fine cable. I look forward to trying new things from them in the future.

Most of the visual representations I found showed it running up and down. And the first few definitions I found said it is "usually oriented vertically." But I did find a few sources that say it represents depth in a 3D plane. So... confusion.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND, INTERNET! :cool:

It's pedantic at a certain point. The idea is to convey 3d imaging which you did. The rest is semantics and tradition. Ha!

When Rudeness Wins You Over – A Review of the plusSound X6 T-Metal CIEM Cable

 
I loved that review. You and @flinkenick have a way with words that make me want to spent my yearly salary on cables. I own the Solar, so this review resonated with me. Now, my OCD (self-diagnosed) dictates that I have to leave a Rhapsodio cable (currently Luna mk2) paired with my Solar, but maybe that will change when I get the Tri-Metal in. I mean, the SG 2.98 is now affixed to my S-EM9 permanently, so stranger things have happened. 
 
Cheers,

Where's the facebook heart like when you need it. I HEART this review. R2 is a fantastic cable, sometimes I miss it. But it's hard to feel bad while I'm listening to R4.

have you checked out han sound audio's aurora cable yet?

Did some impressions of PW Audio's No.5 cable in the link below.

Not exactly high-end but it's one of the more popular cables around, as with other things named No.5 (Chanel, Hungarian Dance, Mambo).
 
Now if someone would lend me a 1960s cable to listen to...
