Sorry, I haven't listened to any of these NiceHCK or multi-kilobuck cables before :hear_no_evil:

However, I do have the NiceHCK AceOrpheus cable. The only bad thing is that I accidentally purchased it with an MMCX connector and the only MMCX IEM I have is the Dunu Falcon Ultra. The AceOrpheus seems to attenuate the bass on the Falcon Ultra and brings the mids more forward. It's not a good pairing with the Falcon Ultra imo since I like it more v-shaped. I actually use the Falcon Ultra with the NiceHCK SuperBlue that doesn't seem to be sold anymore on NiceHCK's AE store. I only see it at other AE stores selling for 6x the price I originally paid.

So after spending some more time with the MeetAlice, I have a few more thoughts. The original description on AE had me thinking it would be an across the board improvement (Bass/Mids/Treble), and I went into my first listen expecting that. I still feel it has less bass and treble than my stock Tea 2 cable, but the Mids are quite resolving and natural. I do still feel like it makes the upper mids sound too forward with my Tea 2's, especially on busier high energy tracks, but on slower acoustic type music the Mids of the MeetAlice are pretty sweet.

Oh...and PurpleSE is being delivered tomorrow 👍

Gladiator Cables make some quality cables at reasonable prices.

They have cheapies and also expensive cables with more exotic materials.

It does take a while for the cables to ship and arrive, especially if you get the cables customized (need to message "Antonio" or "Gladiator Toni" on Discord). It's a 1-man operation and I think he's swamped with orders now.

My custom "Aes Harmony" IEM cable is really nice. Very supple, lightweight, comfortable, and high quality components. No tangling, no microphonics, no kinking.

Hit me with a quick suggestion on a copper (no silver) cable please. Cheap bang for a buck etc. etc. Need to resurrect the mids in my Wind.

NiceHCK Audio Store has C16-3 discounted and 40 percent off with coins. Buy now off coin section in AE app. Cost me about $6 each. :ksc75smile:

(so much for not buying any more cables)

I've just finished a review of Penon's Obsidian cable, which features a fairly unique modular plug. You're invited to read it here. :smiley:
