Modifying WM1Z/A

[gerelmx1986]

The last time I listened to a 192kbps mp3 was mid 2016 until I found the last album in my collection as FLAC

PW Lucifer arrived. Sounds amazing after 15hrs burn in.

That pw look sweet! How does it sound vs pw1960?

For me pw1960 is now my only go to cable
Indeed the new plussound PHH has a lot of views and good feedbacks.


As a side note believe or not but I am still waiting after my 1z
At least I got work that hooked up back again and got something to do to stay occupied...

I didn’t realise plussound had EX1K connector as an option - thanks for the heads up I’ll look into it

E4U finally replied me (in Jap) more than a month after first emailing them. The cost for the adaptor in metallic finish (similar to the finish on the EX1K) is ~ $209 including shipping to US. The reason for the high cost is that they source the original connectors to modify to their design. They stated that the Red and White connectors for the EX1K are no longer in production so they will use the Red and Blue connectors for the EX800-ST instead which are of the same design but just different colour. These are the only ultra short adaptors I can find and the setup will look like the 2 pics below which were posted in this forum in 2017.

After 30hrs of burn in, I must say it's actually on par with the 1960s in most areas. resolution is similar to 1960s with Furutech Rhodium plugs. One area that stands out is the added body on mids and bass which is what you get with GPS and is similar to what I hear from the Horus. PW tuned this cable for sweet vocals and I can confirm that vocals are a tad more forward and sounds more organic and buttery smooth. Stage is huge and holographic which I was told is what you get with Silver gold alloy wires. There is no harshness or softness when its comes to treble which to me is perfect. Still many more hours of burn in to go but it's sounding great at this time.

Wait, has the 1Z been shipped out from HK? or is Romi still giving it Hallelujah TLC?

Excellent!
I see your using Elna in middle for the 47uf, and ruby for the two 100uf on right side, correct?

So what were your cap choices for the 100uf in middle and the 220uf on left side?

Man dont even know what hes doing with my 1z.
He must likely carry it with him all over the places he goes to and gently petting it and whispering quiet hallelujah's into the balanced jack....

He said that my 1z was ready and done with repairs long time ago but he wants to send me 1z and hes new sensation copper cable at same time and thats been a little to long now...
At this point maybe he should of send 2 different packages maybe? So I dont have to wait.


Mmm yeaa my 1z journey is quiet unique.

When I bought it the shipper used dhl 1 day Express from usa to canada. Some mistake happened and my 1z ended up doing the world tour!
France, Germany, Italy to I think until they found it and rerouted it back to Canada. Unbelievable, thank god it got found!


And the mod bring new adventures and time waiting.....
