Lavricables - Impressions & Discussion Thread

Another thing to consider is also the quality of the connectors. I went for the Aeco as they are the best Lavricables offer, if only available in gold from them. I know Aeco do make silver and rhodium versions too though. The sockets on my amp and headphones would be gold so I'm fine with that.

I have a 1st generation Grand for MDR-Z1R that o got used from @nc8000. It has transformed my Z1R to a transparency level similat to meze Liric..


I noticed it had beginning to rotate on the R-side cup connector and sound was cutting off, so i've sent it for repair (72€).

I also purchased a 2020 utopia plus DHC ultrashort adapters to use my Grand with the focal utopia.

If i like how utopia sound with my Grand, then i buy a new Grand in a longer config also for Z1R

Wonderful balance, detail, extension, reverberation, spaciousness without the in-one’s-face overstatement. Bravo !!

Well said! It's amazing how this silver cable goes against all of the negative stereotypes associated with silver. I am not getting any added harshness or brightness or anything shrill. If anything, it's more natural sounding with all the detail.

Mine when running in... Probably on around 80 hours at the moment and sounding notably better. No more scheduled running in - just through usage and it's pretty excellent already : highly detailed, natural and transparent

Sweet! Nice setup. 1000 OG or V2 or Stealth?

My first generation Lavri grand on the Sony Z1R has made positive changes. Before I try the Grand I always told the silver made headpgones vright.


I was using my Sony Z1R with its stock cable and always found that the cable made the headphone harsh, especially because on the highs is a peak of 10kHz, also the cable made the bass presence a little bit too much. I ended often tired with ringing ears after a long, listening sessions.

With tge Lavri Grand, the signature of the Z1R has become more natural. Device is more faster and more tighter., mids are silky and revealing of nuances of the acoustic instruments and voices. On the best part of the grant is that it has iron out this. Peak of 10kHz. The treble is revealing brighter without being harsh. The layering and staging oh boy! Like a concert hall experience, and if enable the "DSD remastering" functionality of my DMP-Z1 ( upsamples all to DSD128) I feel a very cool 3-D effect on the soundstage.

The Grand has made a very natural sounding Z1R, it also reversed details that I have never heard before on my music even on tracks that I have here before on on on Traxxas, I have before a High resolution audio that is so impressive. I love this cable.

And more than a yeat of using my Grand I totally forgot how bad the stock cable sounds. For the last week have been using my Z1R with stock... i'm missing my Lavri.

I already contacted the Deutscgepost about the ****ing wgereabouts of my cable, and said it should arrive to Latvia next week

Lavricables are very addictive. Once you get it, immediately you will wonder whats the next line up will sound like. You can always order two. Keep one you like and return the other one. Just confirm this with them before ordering.
they flat aren’t allowing me to order more than one to try. not even a demo if i pay a deposit.

RME PRO SE and HoloBliss KTE --> LAVRI Grand --> Expanse

Hi, I am looking to buy the Lavri Grand and have 3 questions.

1) in buying a 2m vs 3m am I impacting SQ? most folks seem to have a 2m cable and will resale be impacted if I go with 3m

2) in buying an extension to go from 2m to 3m am I impacting SQ? (it's very expensive to buy an extension cable to not sure I will do this)

3) in using an adaptor to change from XLR to 4.4. for the RME am I sacrificing SQ?

I have attached a screenshot of my cart and would be grateful for any comments.

thanks so much.
