I also have a VE balanced cable that I used on the daily.

Whether it's in my head or actual sound improvement, my shockwave iii's like the balanced out with the junkosha red cable. Not so much the Litz or the espresso cable.

That's interesting. Apart from the sound, any specific improvements in terms of handling for these cables, that you have noticed?

This is what my HD700 cable from VE looks like:





Unfortunately I'm not sure what cable this is as it was sent to me to get my feedback on it (I've bought most of my other VE cables myself though) but I'll ask Lee what it is and let you know.

Looks nice. Based on the options, I'm seeing, seems like this might be the Junkosha silver wire*4. Thanks for the pic. How have these cables been for you? VE cables seems to be ridiculous VFM (compared to other aftermarket cables, especially when one is not looking for very long ones). Good to hear, that other head-fiers have had positive experience with the brand

Yeah, I'm generally a suckered for VFM and have found VE to be one of the companies giving me that. I've also got a very nice thin braided cable for my HD650 as well as the basic cable (that's indeed a bit stiff) for the HE400i and HD650. I've also got loads of adapters both with XLR and TRRS connections and I'm very happy with all of them.

I'm an agnostic when it comes to cables and sound but it's of course a difference between balanced and single ended with many of my sources. Can't deny that it's very nice with the thin and lightweight cables though.

Litz sounded thin and hollow.

Espresso just didn't sound as good as the Junkosha, but nothing really specific.

It's cheap though, but they're all cheap.

Finally got the GO2Pro Infinity 2.1 firmware.

I now have 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1.

Hi Roen,

guess you have installed 2.1 on your Infinity, right?
But will you be able to "downgrade" again (for instance to 1.5)?

Using the FW for my GO2ASE I´m not able to install 1.5 again (upgrade procedure fails).
So guys should keep this in mind that they might have to stay on 2.1.

But maybe this is just an issue with my SE?

I'd try it if I had v1.5 firmware file. I actually prefer the sound of v1.5 much more. It was just perfect for me. The FRM filter for 2.1 sounds brighter and more congested and it sounds like something between balanced and SE output.

So, if I understood correctly. For GO V2+, firmware upgrade won't be available? It would be available only for GO2A and its variants?

Yes..officially they should only be available for GO2A and GO2PRO models.

Which device do you have again?

The FW files are readily available on the chinese fan club site.

Perhaps it would sound better if you had an SE with Femto Clocks.

I believe 2.0 is available on the Chinese Fan Club website earlier in this thread. You'll have to do some work to dig up the posts.

2.1, you'd have to open a ticket.

They sent me both 1.5 and 2.1, so I'm assuming I am able to downgrade.

Have you tried power cycling or switching USB ports? I have more success on a USB 2.0 port.

No, it is. I e-mailed Larry for my gov2+ infinity and he gave me the file. He should have one for gov2+ too.

I have the gov2+ infinity. I am don't speak chinese, so I don't know where they are. Could you link me the thread?

My chinese isn't great either, I just clicked around the threads and found one with the firmware files. The threads are on in the same forum section as the 2.0 firmwares, on the first page of said section.

Interesting... because Larry mentioned here only GO2A and GO2Pro models....
