will receive soon HALDANE 1.2m Tianshanxu paladium and Nicehck Greenmood, hope Haldane less stiff than totem (was sell due stiffness), will keep Wagnus Neutron just to limit acceptable ( very still and microphonics ) but very refine cable , best still PWA1960s 2wire but little dark and dry to my taste

As I promised:
Thank you for taking the time to do that. I was worried it was going to look super cheap with the gold accents, but it looks nice.

Дякую, що знайшли час для цього. Я хвилювався, що це буде виглядати дуже дешево із золотими акцентами, але це виглядає приємно.
You're welcome. Yes, it looks good and sound after burning-in became more V-shaped. As for me SQ is higher than its price.

I'm going to try it with the Serial.

Penon makes the Leo Plus which shares similar materials with this cable, though there are many other variables.

Is this cable sleeved? If so, how are it's ergonomics? Thanks @Meme123!
hello
week after received, and i don't believe much in burning, but take it as a grind salt:
1- it's not TOTEM, approx 90% for 1/8 price of totem, it's worth 100% ( Totem was sell due to stiffness)
2- very souple, light, and exceptional build, weld connectoors is nicely isolated and support well , microphonic is there , but less to none with movement
3- sound more than okay, low/mid and high is well control, refine and details, nothing is exceptional , except soundstage is soso
now compare with few cableS i had with Z1R mod filter with Antelope Zodiac DAC/amp
a- WAGNUS neutron, this is my end game cable for Z1R, for TONE and treble, this cable is microphonic, stiff, thin BUT wow wow, bass is viceral hit hard thru you soul with tone and treble to the limit of excellent, IF you had a Z1R, < THIS IS THE WAY > FIRST PLACE ( note this cable is not details freak like PWA1960S ), not good with fourte/Impact but nice with Z1R and Indigo
b- PWA 1960S 2 wire, NOT totl cable ( but the most expensive cable i willing to keep after demo the BIRD) , a upgrade to ALL i had but little dark and dry
c- blablabla Nicehck Greenmood ( 5 element earth ..) overall very good cable , approx 95% vs Totem, better than OS849 and haldane , a buy if sale
d- OEM from Z1R
e- OS849, haldane, obsidian (from impact) and other chifi cables ( IMHO from bracket 150-300$ from Ali, they're ALL similar )
Anyway , ALL came to synergy for you ears and taste,
lol i don't spend 4K+ for a cable and not sure if i get there at the TOP ( not sure?, maybe? ..), better spend to TOP monitors on use market :)
note: combo Z1R+Neutron, fourte+PWA1960s, Impact+Greenmood/PWA1960s, Indigo+stock/PWA1960S, and the rest of chifi is for MID-FI
regards

99% Pure Silver Palladium + Graphene Gold Earphone Cable For Hifiman Sundara Ananda HE1000se HE6se from " EachDIY store"
paid for dirty cheap and hope separate setup and not share same cable from stock of Abyss Diana and my He1000
"surprise" this cable is really really good and better deep bass and soundstage improve over stock cable from Abyss
Next sale from Ali, i'll buy one for IEM and have high feeling perform better than Haldane Os849 or stock Obsidian with iem, look like vulture cable

It's very interesting to know your impressions of comparison between this cable and OS849 or Haldane Tianshanxue.
I bought the same cable for Meze 99 Classics, but didn't burning-in it still, because my first impression was not so much good. Of course, I have very good cable for 99C - much more expensive.

sure i'll buy one next Ali sale event, i treat ALL my cable main sound system/desktop/iems with "stabilant 22"
1- remove connector ends, treat weld spot and connectors (male/female) them self except shrink cable , maybe the reason why my impression may difer to your
but this 99% Pure Silver Palladium + Graphene Gold Earphone Cable is actually very good for money
i do compare my actual HP cable: stock Abyss, stock Utopia and Nordost Heimdall 2, and impression more refine : bass+soundstage vs Abyss ( more speed, dry)
