I'm looking for a good cheap/midpriced 4,4mm MMCX cable in EU. Any recommendations for products and shops? Thank you.

I'm not sure what price range this is, but Effect Audio has the best modularity I've seen. Its Signature series falls within the prices of the Dunu Mini.

Do you have a few yourself? Price is a little steep with the modular option compared to the Mini. Definitely will consider, they look amazing.

I don't have any of the signature series, but I have the fusion1 and the code23. I am very happy with them, even though it is the most I have spent on cables, crossing my own red line. They are cables that would test with those who do not believe in the sonic change of cables. The signature series has a very good reputation. Its construction is exceptional, and the quality is superior to what I have seen in other cables. I have other modulars that are not stable, it is difficult to connect or remove them... etc. Dunu's patented system is very good. This is more traditional, but very stable and secure. And it has the plus of being modular at both ends.

Been very happy with the Effect Audio 8wires from Signature series, also even if they are on the thick side they are fairly comfortable.

Convinced me to atleast try them. Not a huge believer that cables can change how IEMs sound but I've never put out this much for a cable either.

Thanks for the pictures, I was worried the size would cause them to be heavy or pull on the IEMs.

Cables are another rabbit hole for our hobby, believe me. My take on the Eros S 1st anniversary. What you should expect these cables will do for your IEMs are on my read. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/effect-audio-eros-s-1st-anniversary-edition.26684/review/31609/

That was a good read! Looking forward to seeing what these can do.

I have 3 cables for review from Effect Audio, Signature Series Eros S Anniversary, Cadmus 8W and Ares S 8W.
I know cables is a heated topic, what both sides can agree on is that this is some premium cables.
Split up my write-up in 3 reviews, while in theory its the same review.
Feel free to read if its of any interest, and please no cable war.

I love my EA cables too - they sound great and look georgeous. Premium living up to their prices imo.

Yesterday I received my first Gladiator cable from Antonio.

Happy to report that it came well packaged in a bubble-wrap envelope put into a little cardbox and therefore arrived safely. He obviously has taken some complaints seriously and changed his shipping mode.

The built quality is flawless and simply beautiful. Can't second the criticism that was uttered in one of the latest reviews concerning this aspect.

The 4 wire material is very subtle, flexible and light to the touch. Georgeous to wear. Reminds me a bit of the Penon Leo Plus in that respect but as that one is an 8-wire the Harmony is even more distinguished.

The Harmony is made of a "6N pure Up-OCC copper wire with a thick silver plating" in type 2 litz geometry.

Hardwarewise I went for Antonios pure copper plug and the naked version without a paracord sleeve.

Good decision as I like the silvery shimmer of the wire and could not detect any microphonic effects.

Not much to say about the sound quality yet, but ootb it already seems to be an amazing match with the DTE900. Will probably become my go to cable for that IEM. A very harmonious presentation as if it indeed lives up to it's name... Glad I bought it...

Congratulations! I believe this is Dragonscale. What are your impressions? I think you have to warm it up for at least 24 hours, after that it's great.

 

[zenki]

Nope, not dragon scale

Another Gladiator arrived. This time the Palladio in a custom 8w configuration Antonio proposed to me.

Went for a Furutech plug, since the cable turned out thicker than the AES Harmony 4w.

Again hardware- and finishwise the cable is top notch. I generally like 8w cables and this one is no exception, being even a bit more flexible than eg an EA Ares 8w. But of course 8w might be too heavy for people being sensitive in that respect.

With all my favourite IEM provided with matching cables already I gave it a try with one I did not really got used to the idea of keeping it yet...

NICEHCK OurLaura just came in the mail yesterday. Hugely surprised how good it sounded out of the box with 634 Ears BSB & TC
The last few cables (DualDragon, AceOrpheus & CoaxialSir Ultra) I got from them have all been excellent

 

[zenki]

Yup cable's pretty good except that it kinda stink
