What is the link? I don't see that in the store.

Shouldn't I be getting the 16/24 core ones?

I prefer 4 core cables lighter and more flexable, but I don't think you can hear a difference with more Cores just a thicker cable normally.

If you want a custom cable just reach out to XINHS service is great and they will make whatever you want in moderation. As I did with that custom one.

Newest acquisitions: PW Audio SE Ultra Copper and Anniversary No.10

Haven't read much about the Ultra Copper, but the seller from HK told that PW Audio said Ultra Copper will have a very nice pairing with FAudio Dark Sky... let's see how it turns out.

Got lucky and got them for half price

Link to part 1: Effect Audio prototype 37

EF proto 37 (TLDR: I'll be getting a pair of the retail version, of the 37)
Part deux

In comparing the 37 to the Dunu *DUW-03 (link to Mft's product product:DUW-03). There are two/three differences that stand out for me:
1. The DUW-03 has a higher sensitivity (plays louder at the same volume level)
2. The 37 has just that much more attention to the **lower mids, to make the vocals sound more true to the artist
2a. The DUW-03 accentuates the higher bands to a greater degree, than the 37. That's not to say that the 37 lacks airiness or definition to triangles and symbols. But that the DUW-03's slight cut to the lower mids is probably attributing to more accentuation to the sparkle range.

Overall: the Dunu's lack of richness (in the lower mids), make them sound narrow and thin, in a head to head comparison to the 37.

**To target this range, I chose Alicia Keys, for her mezzo-soprano (looked it up on Google ). In, "New York, State of Mind" it's glaring, the difference between the 37 and the DUW-03.

Using the same PEQ settings, I muddled together for the 37

*Dunu DUW-03

• WIRE MATERIAL: 8 Core, High-Purity Monocrystalline Silver-Plated Copper Litz Wire, Concentrically Arranged
• WIRE GAUGE: 26 AWG/Core

This was a blind buy, the PW Audio Special Edition Ultra Copper. No reviews or impressions anywhere on the internet, went with it solely because of the reputation of PW Audio. The person from whom I bought the cable, mentioned that PW Audio said it would have a nice pairing with FAudio Dark Sky. I was sceptical.

Welp, looks like PW Audio didn't lie! Although it's debatable whether it's better than the stock silver alloy cable of FAudio or not...but it's most certainly sure I like the SE Ultra Copper with Dark Sky slightly more than the stock cable. Improves the stage depth slightly more, but also accentuates the upper mid frequencies very slightly, giving it the peaks a slight nudge upwards. Not beyond threshold limit, so ultimately I am enjoying the slightly deeper stage for sure. However, I really did not expect that a pure copper cable will accentuate the upper registers instead of attenuating them...you learn something new everyday it seems!

So Null Audio are about to launch a summer sale, and have also just released the Epsilon, not their highest-grade cable but still a 5N UP-OCC copper type 5 Litz (!) with high strand count. Nothing to scoff at. One of their best matches aesthetically too - that silver hardware and black sleeving, wow. It’s not the 7N purity or the even higher strand count of their Symphonym range, but arguably looks even better.

It’s hard to resist the Singaporean cables right now!

Effect’s new Signature line seems nice, especially the Eros S. A bit on the expensive side though.
No one ever talks about Altalune, but they have a nice entry-level line-up and their Nebula seems really good and fun.
I got in touch with Kotori and they told me they are about to launch the Sigma, that they call a little brother to their flagship Epsilon. 25awg OCC SPC, silver-colored, at just 170$SGD, so about 120 in USD or Euros before tax. And they are open to preorder discounts.
Eletech are discounting the Prudence and Fortitude, and Ares push some good stuff too.

Now I hope Nocturnal will update their line-up and both improve the specs and go back to their more exotic Celestial offerings.

Not to mention Nightjar, those guys kill me. Everything is out of my budget, but seriously, “the feeling of a nice cup of tea in the dead of night”? Let me give you a kidney. Please.

Satin definitely give the SG scene a run for their money though…

I welcome any pointers or feedback!

Do not forget to look at the following cables: Cema Tianwaitian and MoonDrop Shirokawa that are exactly the same as Penon Totem and also MoonDrop Bort II.

I think they are high-end cables, low price and reputable brands that will maintain the level of quality.

The Null Audio Lune Mark VII at $119 is tempting. Does anyone have experience with this cable's ergonomics and any sound impressions?

Also, I assume the $119 is for 4 braid with $80 additional for 8 braid per website...is that correct?

Excuse me if these have been covered already.

Two $100 cables that were put on sale. They sound awesome!
