Have any of you guys tried a gold plated copper cable? I’ve never tried a gold plated cable, and I’m not sure how it compares to pure silver, pure copper, SPC, etc.
Actual gold plated cable gonna be on the mid fi cable thread. Just posted recently.Have any of you guys tried a gold plated copper cable? I’ve never tried a gold plated cable, and I’m not sure how it compares to pure silver, pure copper, SPC, etc.
I was looking for a cable which will bump midrange a bit for Sony IER-ZR1, this IEM is a bit v shaped and some tracks vocals is bit muffed.
Not sure it can be fixed by cable change, please suggest.
How about this one since i'm looking for balanced cable only to fully utilise the power of btr5 https://m.aliexpress.com/item/40003...i15U1k2Q2VEaGpzeTJzS3dNMUo5VlllLS1EWk9reDhPSA..https://www.aliexpress.com/item/400...0o.store_home.productList_103909896.subject_5
Great synergy with the FH3. Give this one a try.
Okay, first off, I‘m not great at analyzing/reviewing cables. Most of the time, I don’t hear much of a difference, but on rare occasions, I do notice a significant change in sound. Using the TRN T3 on the se846 was one such occasion. Unfortunately, the left IEM connection wasn’t stable. The se846 is a sensitive all-BA IEM, and it is picky about sources, especially regarding output impedance. I wonder if it is more sensitive to cables than most DD IEMs?
This is a very rough comparison, and are only one person’s basic perceptions. I typically use the stock clear/white kevlar Shure cable b/c I also use this IEM as a stage monitor, and that cable works best for me. I’ve tried the Tripowin C8 and Zonie 16 cables with the se846, and found that they work well, and sound good, but not noticeably different from the stock. I just tried the NiceHCK silver 4 core Litz cable with the se846, right after listening with the stock cable. I didn’t notice any improvement, and in fact, it may sound ever so slightly darker, though the bass seemed a tiny bit more potent. The only cable that made me really take notice with the se846 was the TRN T3. It seemed to improve clarity, dynamics, transient response, and treble some. That being said, it was not a massive change, just a fine tuning, like if you were to use better ear tips. I didn’t directly compare the NiceHCK cable with the TRN T3 cable b/c I really don’t want to change out the MMCX cable any more, unless I need to. I guess the cable resistance could be the reason for the perceived sonic differences between these silver cables?
You can choose whatever termination you like on that Rhythm cable. Balanced or single ended. All these cables you can choose. I actually have one of them Rhythm cables and the FH3. I can't say how your cable you linked to will synergize with the FH3 but I do know the Rhythm cable does.How about this one since i'm looking for balanced cable only to fully utilise the power of btr5 https://m.aliexpress.com/item/40003...i15U1k2Q2VEaGpzeTJzS3dNMUo5VlllLS1EWk9reDhPSA..
Yup, really digging mine on my TFZ NO.3.
Cheap, looks very nice and very good build quality
Also I guess cable choice for headphones doesn't matter much... Does it?Are https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000541099253.html and https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000789472494.html good for a KPH30i mod?
Edit: Thought I was on the cable thread. Derp.
Oh it does, comparing stock to my hybrid cables on my sundara the soundstage is wider and clearer with better bass control.Also I guess cable choice for headphones doesn't matter much... Does it?
I meant more about the comfort part to be honest. Since it's a headphone, the cable makes little contact if any with my head and as result I probably don't need the most comfortable cable ever.Oh it does, comparing stock to my hybrid cables on my sundara the soundstage is wider and clearer with better bass control.
