That Impact Audio cable looks nice. Would this work with smoothing out sibilant vocals? The GC4 works well and just looking to expand on that.

Copper cables do extremely well to curb brightness in general. I almost gave up on my EE MD Zeus. Stock cable that it comes with does nothing to optimize the sound. It isnt the Effect Audio cable that come with the EE version. So it took me a while and it isnt just any copper cable it likes either. By far my most finicky earphone to date. But now I love how this thing sounds. ISN CU4. cant wait to try out the GC4 on it.
Yes. However, the Impact Audio all copper cable 4 wire, still has plenty of air and detail up top, and is a really well balanced cable with a bit of the usual copper warmth, throughout.That Impact Audio cable looks nice.

Can anyone tell me how good are Dunu cables (esp. Lyre from DK-3001 pro) vs. Electro Acousti 170 cable. So yes, I'm in a market for a copper cable. I know the price difference is huge for 4 vs 4 core ($149 vs $82), but apart from that is the "secondary fire refinement process" of Dunu just marketing?

Hello
i'm looking for a new upgrade cable for my Fearless Audio Rolands and maybe you can give me a few recommendations
I use a Gala Audio Solar Eclipse for my Noble K10 and i'm happy with the materials: https://www.zoundaholic.com/product/1592/สาย-gala-audio-solar-eclipse
But i think i want to try something new. The Penon Leo Plus sounds very interesting or maybe the ISN AG8? Or something from Xiaofan?
Thanks for you help
I don’t have any idea about ISN AG8 but I can recommend Leo+ with Roland if you want more open and airy sound. Roland has slightly darkish sound, so I assume you want to open up a bit.
It seems that the Leo+ is realy an excellent cable. I ordered now an 175 and realy looking forward for it :-D I got a very good deal für only 163 Dollars (new).
As far as i know from the Linsoul Discord the Roland is very sensitive to cables so cable-matching is realy a big thing here.

So this is my newest cable review. My take on one of the best SPC cables around. Penon OS849 cables. Thicker 8 cored cable. Matches extremely well with neutrally tuned earphones that need some boost in the mid bands. Amazing cable really. I can't think of a better SPC cable that I have had actually. Anyway enjoy the read.

I just got a Satin Audio cable and I’m happy with it, however the cable isn’t staying around my ears very well, I got it without heat shrink unfortunately. What kind of solutions are there to making it hook around my ears better? Thanks!

Was planning on getting the ISN CU4 (AE sales June 15th from $159 to $133) but would love to hear from you in comparison to the latest ISN GC4 (Not on sale by the way). IEM used will be my Fearless S8F which are detail monsters, hence after reading your review on CU4 was pretty certain this will pair well. Would just like to hear your thoughts before pulling the trigger for a mid-price cable. CU4 or splash out for GC4?

You should go for the ISN CU4. That thick copper is excellent match for more detailed all BA sets. I have them on my Zeus and it will never come off of them. I would imagine it will do the same for your Fearless S8F.
ISN GC4 I tried on my zeus and I still prefer the CU4 over the GC4. There was some aspects I liked about the GC4 sound but that thick CU4 adds some much needed warmth to analytical tuned IEMs. If you can get them on sale even better.

Thanks for your helpful insight, will stick to the plan and get the CU4. Cheers.
