Mid priced IEM cables thread.

For vocals I'm using Liquid links Martini with Moondrop S8. Gold plated cables tend to give a bit more sub-bass and brings warmth to the signature.

I suspect that TWT maybe allowing "too much" current across, this causes my full-ba sets to get overwhelmed. I need something with higher impedance like Z1R with a big DD. That way it would benefit from plenty of power.

Hi @etlouis. Liquid links cables look interesting. Can't find pricing or purchase information on google search. Where did you buy yours?

Hmm. I didn't anticipate Liquid Links to be an obscure brand. It seems that they don't have a presence beyond China. (Even in China nobody really knows them). Only on taobao and local online stores. I bought mine on mestudiobiz for about $280 USD.

If you don't want to deal with those vendors/shipping then you might have to wait until they have an international release.

Hey guys! I just bought the Blessing 2: Dusk from Moondrop and I would like to upgrade the cable for something else...It will be mostly use with my Chord Mojo and sometimes with my smartphone. I red the whole thread and must admit I'm really lost about what to look for first.

''Crinacle states that he set out to address his personal preferences'' which is great so I guess it's not really a good idea to buy a cable that will change the ''personality''of it... am I right?

Why I want to change it first? It feels really cheap for such a nice iem so I guess I want something that will feel and look nicer. If by any chance it improves the sound well that's great too but I got it like 5 days ago and the sounds is just so marvelous:wink:

Thanks for your inputs!

I followed the advice of Dsnuts and chose the Penon GS849: excellent pairing, much improved soundstage and imaging.

Still waiting for my GS849 but in the meantime I bought a new DAP Shanling M6 21 which has a balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn headphone output, balanced 2.5mm TRRS and a 3.5mm TRS. Could I use the 4.4mm output with some kind of adapter for my GS849 and if yes, which one would you suggest?

Thanks!!

**Edit** I have returned the 3.5mm to get instead the 4.4mm

Recently updated to iPad Air, L&P W2 and Moondrop variations. Looking for some suggestions on cables that would add the finishing sound touches to this setup.
Since the moondrop variations share some of same tuning as blessing 2 my research leads me to couple of the cables listed below. Open to other suggestions under $200. Also any suggestion on high quality c to c otg usb cable debating on the penon c to c (currently I have woo audio and ddhifi cables) but figured I’ll ask, I see some ot the other poster are also using the W2 too.
Penon GS849
Penon Mix
CEMA Electro Acousti MS series

Hi all!
I am looking for a good balanced cable for CA Andromeda 2019, budget is within 300usd.
Also would like your recommendations for JVC FDX1 within same 300usd price range.
Although I have stated 300usd range but I am looking for something that's true value for money.
I appreciate all the people here, have read through the whole thread and would like help from you all with all the experiences you had.
Thanks :)

Try out a Penon OS849. Very good SPC cables will match up exceptionally well for the FDX1 and even the Andromeda. It is a very versatile cable and one that will meet your needs at not even half the price your willing to pay. If you want a something a bit more premium try out the Penon Mix. No need to get something above that for your phones.

Thank you so much! I will try to get them, probably both :)
