I have that cable in mmcx at home. Will test it out for you. It should be a good match. A bit of gold plating is a good thing for the H50. Will report back later tonight.

Thanks, sale ends tomorrow as you are well aware...

I will let you know in approximately 7 hours from now. I have to get home after work. Eat dinner and then find the ISN GS4 and test it out. Lol. Another one I bet would sound great on the H50 will be the Penon OS849.

Which cost a bit more but OS849 sounds great with just about any earphone.

Damn H50 are stuck on france border on backlog for a week now... Fedex seems to be struggling to cope with extra pressure as usual.

Bad luck, not even an estimated delivery date? FedEx did have some big domestic issues last month which probably had a knock on affect. Let’s hope it’s not another Castaway lol.

For DS nuts…..No the link you sent me tumbled me into the meta Ali express bazaar and I couldn’t find it
but I got a gold silver and copper cable from a cable source I like Xnilnt or something like that
37% off from 68 to 31 after coupons etc and mmcx of course
will skip showy Isn b2 for now cause I’m happy with dynamic driver Oriolus Isabella
thanks for consultations!
I RE hooked up my B&W 805 nautilous speakers up in my study today. Damn they are good!!
now I can see patients again up in my office and play trancing music!

Ok, well... EST50 en route. Couldn't resist. Also ordered Oracle, and snagged a FS set of MEST MkII. It's been "a day". Ugh, what have I done....

Congrats on the hattrick of IEMs, that's quite the haul! Haven't personally heard the other 2 but they're well regarded as I'm sure you know.

Maybe ask Penon to avoid Fedex with current issues?

Dsnuts, your pick on the ISN GS4 cable with Gold and Silver? It's expensive but not crazy expensive and it is a little bit cheaper for 11.11
Pairing it with my H50 that is supposed to arrive soon... Thanks

I can confirm the ISN GS4 is indeed a great match up with the H50. Go for it, you picked a great cable match up. Going back n forth several times with the stock ISN S8 vs the GS4. GS4 shown here is a 4 cored version of one of Penons best cables in the Penon GS849. Even though only 4 cores these clearly advances the dynamic overtones on the H50 tuning. Increases imaging, bass impact. Adds a touch of a fuller note weight and the gold plating here adds a slight touch of a richer tone. I noticed stage increases a bit with this cable as well. This cable has great synergy with the H50. More dynamic and expansive sounding using this cable.

I use the GS4 with the H40. If the H50 has a similar sound sig it should be a good match. It adds more body and mid presence to the H40 than an SPC cable, seems to tame the glare on the treble just a tad and accentuates the vocals more. I like the synergy so much I ordered a 2-pin version of it to go with my EST50.

One word of advice on the EST50. Make sure you just let them play music for a week straight and forget about them. The bass dynamic and the ESTs need burn in. Your gonna wonder why folks love the EST50 when you hear those out of the box. Lol. EST50 most definitely requires burn in.

And how much burn in time needs the H50?

Thanks guys, time to spend some more $$

A question** for the ones who got the H50.
Can you recognise the sound signature of the H50 with more familiar iem?
I want to do auto eq preset in my qudelix and don't find ISN/Penon iem there, but there many other iems there for which there is an auto eq preset.
**Alternative question is in which areas do you eqalize it, if at all?

 

[Dsnuts]

I would say about a weeks worth of music is a good start. The H50 dont need as much burn in as much as the EST50s.

Thanks guys, time to spend some more $$

GS4 is a great match up. Decided to give the Penon GS849 a go last night as well. Even better. Those are the 8 cored version.
GS4 at half the price is a great deal though. I will do a cable pairing on my review I will post soon.
