Any suggestions where to buy connectors for Audio Technica IM02? I want to make a cable myself, as there are not many to choose from and I already have all I need except the proprietary connector
Yesterday I found one shop on ali where they were selling all connectors at one place (mmcx, 2pin, audio technica, sennheiser 2pin..), but I accidentaly deleted it from my wish list
yes, i bought them at lunashops: http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=5585 these adapters have very good conductivity, although plastic quality is not that great (some crackles reported)Take a look at www.lunashops.com They will have connectors you can buy for the IM02
OK, my bad -- it was my system at work that was sounding muffled -- using this cable on my set up at home (MBP with Audirvana), and a/b ing with the FiiO FH1 cable, the S8 is quite superior! Sorry for the mute point. All is well that ends well; and the S8 is a fine cable.Hey Folks, reading through this thread I ended up getting the ISN Audio S8 for my NICEhck M6's. I was using the extra cable that came with my FiiO FH1 (which is much cleaner and tighter than the M6 cable). Now, it seems like the S8 has increased slightly the depth of the sound, but it also seems to have elevated the upper bass, or decreased the treble, or something, to where it sounds a bit muffled (annoyingly so). I can hear this same kind of 'muffling' when I use the FiiO L16 Stereo Audio Cable with an amp as compared to the cable that came with the Topping Nx4 DSD (the topping cable is so much more cleaner and crispier than the FiiO).
Any recommendations for the M6 that is clean, under 50 USD, and that might be superior to the FiiO FH1 cable? Thanks
that isn't a bad cable. you can get quite better ones, but don't expect big changes in sound. check the cables of 1st spoiler of my list (they are the best quality ones), and search for them in amazon if available (more expensive, ensure they won't be shipped from china), or AE (you can specify an address of a friend or neighbor if you'll be on a trip)Trying to buy iem cables for my DM6 is like buying tips, too many choices and I get easily confused. Can anyone recommend a good upgraded cable for my DM6? I currently have these but is there something else out there that will give it a significant change in sound? I would like to get this cable from Amazon if possible so I don't have to wait a month since I am going on a trip (would like to use it on the trip). Or is the cable that I am currently using good enough and order something else from AE?

i think 1st cable uses same wire than cables 130-132, but 4 cores instead of 8 cores; not sure, though (i don't own it).
yea, protruding 2 pins sit firmer on recessed sockets.. but if the socket of your iem is not recessed, then the other plug is better
Two HiFiHear cables. The silver copper cable is an 8 core. The gold silver cable is a 16 core. Both were purchased from Amazon. The 16 core is on the way back. It won't fully engage with the iem for obvious reasons.
OMG! I'm so sorry...I forgot to include @Dsnuts. He started this whole thread! My very bad. Dsnuts, if you see this post, thank you too for starting this thing up. You have no idea how much I needed this thread. Before I found this, all I saw was aftermarket cables on Amazon that sold for over $150 CDN...most were in the $300-700 range. A balanced cable cost more than the iem I was using. This thread has helped people like me get access to stuff that's not overpriced and unobtainable. Kudos man, and huge props! Again, my apologies for not mentioning you previously. I don't know how I could have forgotten a guy who has "Nuts" in his name. Lol!
