Gotten this silver cables, sounded good no difference from a $400 cable. $20.00

Gs849 will sound darker than AG8, I’d listen Penon OS849 and PW audio No.10.
Everyone has tested on IMR?

From who and what gauge wire is used with what kind of silver wire?

I've ordered ISN AG8 in 4.4 on sale from AE for my PB1 and semper when it arrives. £137 seemed reasonable to give it a try. Have my eye on Leo plus and possibly Penon GS849 if I hear good things with the thick silver cable.

I have a few ISN cables and they are all good & well made. They've all been worth the money.

I own the AG8 and it is a very unique cable due to it's thickness I believe. That is a good price for It.
It has the detail of a Silver cable with a nice meaty bottom end that no pure silvers I've heard have. It doesn't sound that great out of the box & took a long time to burn in - around 40-50 hours for the sound to fill out.

it lived on my Halcyon until I got the Leo+ but I pop it on from time to time and like it.

@fabio19 look at this feedback!

What difference did you find between Leo + and ISN AG8?

Imr giving a reminder that there are some headphones on the way. Though I don't know what to think of the idea and how hard to flip them if I don't like them. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdSjyqpBt9/?igshid=16n7vpsn1kpgn

Color me intrigued... I have 9 over ear headphones already, and yet find myself using IEMs exclusively (other than for conference calls, which I use my Vokyl Erupt headphones for)... I won’t be an early adopter but would consider if the reviews come in positive...

Atleast his is using an AMT tweeter instead of sticking to ceramic tweeters for the full size. Was worried there as it seems the ceramic stuff seems to not have gone well for other companies.

Patiently awaiting the AMT hybrid/tribrid/quadbrid/quinbrid/sexbrid IEM versions lol.

What difference did you find between Leo + and ISN AG8?

Somewhere on one of these threads I described the difference like this. If the sound spectrum from bass to highs is 1 (bass) to 10 (high) the Leo+ covers 1-10. The bass goes deeper with great texture and has more detailed & airy highs. The AG8 covers 2-9. It has great highs just slightly less than the Leo+ and while it has more bass quantity it isn't as deep or textured. The Leo+ is very slightly v shaped and the mids are slightly recessed which works on the Halcyon but the AG8 does not have this and is the better cable here. The detail the Leo+ gives to vocals makes up for it.

I like both cables a lot but think the Leo+ suits the Halcyon better and sounds more premium on it. Both needed burn in and sounded bad out of the box.

Damn if they were closed back or if at least they would not bleed sound out. Id be tempted to sell my Emu Teaks to try these out. But yeh would not pay 2k for cans
