Just wanted to hop on and give a big thanks to @Dsnuts . I have been going back and forth thinking about getting new cables for my L9s and S8fs. I finally pulled the trigger on the Leo + for the L9 and OSG for the S8f and can not believe the improvements to both. Very very happy with both purchases. I was not a complete believer in improvements with cables but now you could not convince me otherwise. I have not found as much change with Headphone cables but this really blew my mind. Thank you all.

Donuts,
Getting ready to break in my **** MT 300. Have you had one? What would you go with for a decent cable for this complex IEM? Copper? Silver? SPC?
Which one?

got tianwaitian cable. not from cema, same wire tho.

meh.

odd thing, just like every other "high end" cable i've tried (ranging from tianwaitian wire to 1000 usd)

they all have this odd smoothening affect which kills 4khz - 8khz.

unlike... my 20usd nicehck 16 core copper cable lol

as for now? 20usd cable > tianwaitian and all other cables, even if it sounds a bit smaller in terms of soundstage, the tonality is just so much better. idk why cables do this, if anyone has a midfi cable that DOESN'T smoothen the sound and doesn't kill 4khz-8khz, let me know.

update, after trying tianwaitian wire again it dawned on me that i needed to give it enough time to really understand it's sound. much better resolution, soundstage is narrower but imaging is far greater. it's a good cable, but i don't know if it's the best i've tried

Hey all,

I'm looking for an upgrade cable for my Fidue Sirius.
Have narrowed it down to either CEMA Tianwaitian, or Penon OSG. I'm generally more concerned with sound than ergonomics.

Can you make a recommendation, and explain why you would favor one of both?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Has anyone compared the Penon Totem to other palladium-plated alternatives like the Tianwaitian etc?

What are people's impressions on the cables sold by linsoul?
I own the EST, really nice sounding cable with great ergonomics. No complaints and I'm glad I bought it.
