Are those custom tips? Where did you get them? How do you like them?

Gold plate with a bit palladium from CEMA is arrived...
Burn in first...
we will see how it does... 8 braid 26 AWG all the same type (supposed to be mixed) thing....

Man! That's the next cable I am buying and it's been sitting in my cart. Nice!

Yes, there are.. from custom Art... Silicon based...
Been using for more than a year. For me, is helpful to get better fitting since Solaris OG have certain issued with ear fitting.
SoungSig, easiest saying is make your IEM dark, but detail and yet still revealing for the upper Treble...
is like having CIEM at IEM, it is really plug and stick in your ear... quite comfortable also...

For me the best value is that I can use this CustomArt eartip to other IEM, such as Fourte, Trio, some Empire, as long the diameter bore same size...

Man! That's the next cable I am buying and it's been sitting in my cart. Nice!

Well, I can't have proper impression since only been listening about 2 hours... but like I mention above, the cable is more emphasize vocal. Smooth on upper treble (spark) yet still get the feeling of clarity.

unlike 175 which is too detail for my taste, this cable seems more musical.
Now I am interested in the blueish one...

edit : just to add, compare to pure silver, this cable will be not give the widest soundstages, but it will give better depth and positioning... IMO

That's exactly what I am looking for to pair up with my K10U. The K10U has been such a challenge to find the right cable for my taste, and I am hoping that's the one.

noble... is the black one sound sig different from K10U ?


if the same, and you after for vocal... I tried this with BRISE cable.. it makes the vocal thicker... but I can't stand the treble, too hot for me...

Nice! I love the all black look, and I know they sound the same. Yes sir, that treble can get hot with the wrong cable or source, no doubt. However, with the right cable they are pure magic. I currently have mine connected to an Impact Audio copper litz, and they sound killer, but the mechanical noise of the cable is not the best. The stock cable for the K10U is terrible, and they sound thin and way to bright for me with that one.

Here is the Impact Audio cable. The stage is huge, the bass hits hard, the vocals are forward, big and clear, and the highs are well extended but smooth. Honestly, this cable is so close to perfection, if only it didn't have such bad noise to the touch. It's not the worst I have heard, but still annoying, to where I am looking for something better. The Penon OS849 is really good with the them too, but I still prefer pure copper with them.

 

[Wes S]

The Penon OS849 is really good with the K10U as well, and I highly recommend this pairing and cable, for a super expansive sound, with good extension on both ends, and zero harshness. However, the mids are a bit further back than I prefer as well as vocals.

TRN still having a QC issue?
Good to know. I haven’t bought a single item from them after getting 3 back to back defective products.

Is getting back to back defective products from TRN just... Normal?

Edit: Guess this account is getting banned for accidentally starting a flame war then...

Hey all,

Recieved my TRN-T3 yesterday.

In short, it seems to subtly improve upon the stock cable for my Shure SE846 - it's not night and day by any means though..

I'm not going to be using them though. For some reason, the top on the MMCX connector on the right side is kinda scratching into the side of my head - really uncomfrtbale.

On top of that, slight movements can cause sound to intermittently cut out - again, really annoying, and a deal killer for me.

Lastly, there seems to be a rattling on the MMCX connectors - as if some small balls moving on the inside? Annoying..

I purchased a TRN T3 cable 3 separate times, and so far, they all work great. For some reason, however, the MMCX connectors don’t play well with the se846. 2 different cables, and neither provide a solid/stable connection with my left se846 earpiece. The se846 does sound great with the T3 cable though. It ultimately doesn’t bother me, b/c I like to use the stock cable for stage use anyways.

I have the old school plastic shell K10 and still searching for the perfect cable also. I have the OS849 but I feel I can get better sound with something else. Need to eradicate the tiny bit of sibilance in vocals. I’m thinking copper with gold maybe.

My thoughts exactly! I will keep you posted with my findings, as I am on the hunt for the perfect cable pairing with the K10U, and I have already been through a bunch of the big name brand cables. Let me know, if you find any better than the OS849. So far, the Impact Audio all copper litz, is the best I have heard especially with vocals.

 

[Dsnuts]

The one cable I have used on my Zeus which is more detailed and neutral than I would like is the ISN CU4.

I would imagine a thicker copper cable would tame the K10 treble

This is the cheap cable thread yet I got something of serious value. Very essence of why this thread exists.


My review on the NiceHCK 4 core pure silver cables. Looks like KBEAR got them as well. I ended up getting a 2 pin version from KBEAR I thought I would try theirs out will be able to confirm if theirs is the same as NiceHCKs.

Any good budget <$30 MMCX cable?
