That's good that you are open minded. Try to forget everything what you read and just listenI’ll be using it on the Symphonium Helios.
I don’t really have expectations. I’m open minded on it. Maybe it will change and maybe I’m not sensitive enough to detect it? I’m new to cable rolling. I mostly just want the 3.5mm SE connection it has for wider compatibility vs my cable with 4.4 balanced termination currently. I also don’t want the sound quality to degrade. Pretty low bar, but low chance of disappointment too.
I’ve heard and read that LITZ can have a good effect. I’ve heard copper is warm and silver is cold, but never compared it for myself before so I think that will fun. I’d expect it to be a relatively low impedance cable. I EQ with a Quedelix 5K already to give a sub bass shelf right now. I’ll get to AB with and without the EQ. Coming from planar headphones, I’m new to IEMs too if you don’t count AirPods. I think the Symphonium has great speed to it, and I think it does well at staging and conveys a decent amount of space and openness for an IEM. Im curious to see if the cable offers more clarity or detail, or maybe better transient response. That would be a big win!
When I was new to IEMs and bought my first XINHS cable I did not know anything about cables and the possibility of altering the sound, that was good so I could find it out myself.
Have fun cable rolling and please share your findings
