Good day
I received my Nicehck cable and it doesn't sound as good as the original cable on by R1
This is the cable:

https://es.aliexpress.com/item/3295...&terminal_id=5cb9698acc354837be0f5d32341fb08d

The polarity is correct
Is there a burn in time required for this cable?
Thanks
Gord

Cables do not need burn in. If anyone tells you otherwise, RUN!

Nothing to see here

Final E tips came in. They are also an excellent fit, but I switched back to the Symbio Ws as I felt they were slightly more comfortable with the foam/silicon combo. Seems to give me the benefits of both styles of eartips.

He has his b stock zenith on sale today at about £145. I've ordered one, and hoping they are in pretty good state.

Have you checked that the Zs are correctly in phase ? I tried the Ares II with mine and had to reverse the right connector as mine were out! This link may help -

Yup, too early. Apparently there will be pictures of the goods during this week. And he already said he will dip into July with the shipping, due to waiting for the filters.

Oh, me too, don't worry. The way he advertised them, they really have to be something. But i prefer waiting a bit longer and receiving a polished product rather than getting something rushed.
