I have had several cables built by Lindsay, at Impact Audio Cables. He's great to work with. Excellent materials, great build quality, fair prices, and fast construction and shipping. Here are three cables he built for me recently, for my Focal Clear and Audio-Technica WP-900 (specs in those threads):

I have an Impact cable for my iems and absolutely love it! This cable is every bit as good if not better, than my cables from the big name companies.

Isn't that a Mofaset Trio? Wondering how was the pairing, can you elaborate more on this combination?
That's correct. :thumbsup: I have actually tried quite a few high end cables with my M.Trio's and the Impact was the best. The cables I have tried are Norne Therium, Satin Athena 8 wire, PW No. 5 4 wire, Effect Audio Cleopatra 4 wire, Effect Audio Maestro, EA Ares II, and Satin Hyperion 8 wire. Out of all those cables the Impact Audio Type 6 litz was the best pairing with my M.Trio's. Basically when paired with Impact cable, the sound is very cohesive, transparent, and natural sounding. The mids come forward and the bass hits hard and has good texture. The soundstage is quite holographic and the highs are smooth yet still resolving. The M. Trios paired with Impact and ibasso DX 160 and SpinFit tips, is every bit as realistic and technically capable as my Noble K10U (a well respected and highly rated end game iem by the way), just with a different sound sig. Basically I can't recommend this pairing enough.

I also bought a A2DC-can side-terminated cable from Impact; terrific build quality. I'm confident I'll be enjoying use of it for years. Responsive service and reasonable turn around time. Very refreshing to deal with especially in the custom cable space (YMMV, but I've dealt with some horrible customer service from boutique makers over the years).

Just got an Impact Audio Cables balanced 6" 4-pin XLR to 4.4mm Pentaconn adapter to match one of the earlier cables I bought from Lindsay. The other cable (Litz) that he built for the WP900 is in the travel bag for the headphones when I'm not at home, using my Sony WM-1A; this adapter is so I can use the matching balanced 4-pin XLR cable for desktop use with my Sony WM-1A when I'm home but away from my desktop, so I don't have to unplug the A2DC connectors to swap cables.

Beautiful photos. I too have had excellent dealings with Lindsey @ Audio Impact, first was about 3 years ago (from the ETSY beginnings). This is my latest procurement (although 2nd hand) I knew it was going to be a quality product...Lovely sound with my new addition...
Cheers
