one more vote of confidence here for 1960s 2w cable , love how transparent it makes my Zeus without sounding thin - and the bass hits a lot.

I will share some more impressions in the following days ,as i had the cable connected wrong for the first 2 days - not sure if that makes any difference or you just get channel swapping....

only problem now that i have my TOTL combo in Zeus XR+1960s 2w is that i am thinking of maybe modding/upgrading my WM1A (next year , no money for now after buying the 1960s...)


First world problems....

Anyone tried this cable?

What's the advice for cleaning cables, just warm water and a microfiber towel?

Got a DHC cable specifically that needs some work

 

[buonassi]

plus sound recommends warm water and soft clean cloth. no chemicals/detergents, etc.

Anyone have trouble wearing cables that have the straight earphone connectors? They kinda dig into the sides of my head and give me pimples. I haven’t had this problem after switching to cables with angled earphone connections, a lot more comfortable.

My intime Sora is like that, but I just tighten the slider and have no problem with it. It's comfortable to wear even for jogging.

I've always been interested in the 2-wire, but don't want to buy sight unseen, so to speak. As we've discussed before, I believe your DAP to be a bit warmer than mine, but thanks indeed for the info re the Zeus. I had been hoping to attend CanJam SoCal in June but don't hold out much hope for it now. At some point either I'll bite the bullet and buy a 2-wire or get a chance to hear one.

my advice , as we only live once

if you find a used one here selling for 600-700$ buy it , it's already 40% off - if you don't like it you can resell easily here at zero/minimum loss

me ? the only thought about it now is why i did not buy it earlier and waited 3 years

best,

Guys need some help here please.

I had my cable store in a safe dry place. Didnt use it for 2 weeks...

This morning take it out and I find this spots on ear loops is that normal? Is this oxidation?

Plussound saying that this is just some oils reaction on the cable and is only cosmetic not affecting the sound and it is not covered by warranty as its only cosmetic!#%%

Does that even make sense?

 

[Vitaly2017]

Aaa boy I think I found the guilty responsible for those markings on my plussound!

Its my storing pouch I hang my iems on it and I see it marked my cable with slight purplish colorings

 

[Pepito]

Hi all,

has one of you experiences with cables of Han Sound Audio?
After roughly 4,5 months it looks like that, I guess, the connector oxidised.
Is it possible that this cause quality problems in the future?

Cheers!

Deoxit is what you need, once the connectors start oxidizing it affects the sound. You should be cleaning all your connectors regularly with Deoxit!

It's more likely oxidization from your ears...

It's the plastic sheathing that has been stained, not the conductors or connectors.

Deoxit is for metal to metal connections, not for rubbing out stains on plastic. If he does this, he'll assuredly ruin his cable.

 

[Vitaly2017]

Will leave it as is . As its only a slight color shift its really nothing major. But who of thought that a pouch could do that to a teflon insulation!


As said the metal is intact its just the shielding of the transparent teflon...

Hi everyone.

Looking for a light, portable cable. I was looking at pure silver to brighten my iems up a bit as i already have hybrid from Forza Audio.
So i have narrowed down to;
Norde Audio - Therium 2
Toxic Cables - Hydra 18
But then i also came across
Linum - SuperBax Balanced. Which if what reviews say is true has sonic properties i am after.

Anyone has any experience/ recomendations with either of those?

Thanks a bunch

Never experiences those but Alo Audio's Silver litz is pretty lightweight.
