Shoot me now!

Oh, oops. I meant DITA's OSLO cable has a nice copper-ish colour scheme which works really well with the Encore's green-ish faceplates. It almost reminds me of copper pre-oxidisation and post-oxidisation. In addition, the metallic elements of the OSLO cable match the Encore's silver bottom-half. As a whole, I think it really is an aesthetically-pleasing combo with the bonus of that yin-yang symbolism depicting pristine and aged metal.

Who's in or around LA? I would love to meetup and grab lunch or whatever with some of you folk! I will also be at Canjam SoCal so if you're going, see you there!

I will be living in LA, specifically Studio City this summer interning (don't know company placement yet but the internship is confirmed) from late May to early August so please holler!

Go see Brannan and his new art gallery. I would have named the gallery Embezzlement Art Gallery.

I haven't tried the pairing specifically, but I found the OSLO cable to infuse a rich, analog warmth into any IEM it's attached to. It takes a bit of edge off of the top-end and fattens/wets the midrange and bass a hair, but maintains extension, so you lose none of that clarity or imaging precision. Not to mention the build quality and the versatility of the Awesome Plug. If that's what you want to have happen to your Encore's, the OSLO is a great option IMO.

Seems just about what I want. Thank you sir

Anybody tried the Dita Oslo cable on the Noble Encore? Would appreciate any impressions.
I can do the test once I get my Encore repaired.
I love Dita Oslo Cable. It is the smoothest cable I've ever tried (I do not believe in cables at all before I tried it). I definitely prefer using it with Khan than the stock cable as Khan sounds a bit on the thin side. I can't say that for Encore until I hear it.

The problem is not every pin is made with the same tolerances required for our sockets.

Prospective customers (I suspect on the sly) try out their own cables in an attempt to see if they compliment each other.

Eventually resulting in either cracked/broken housings or cracked/broken sockets.

Exactly. I broke my encore because the cable pin damaged the socket. I am not even a cable believer.
Noble IEMs are not made for cable nonsense.

But wait. What if my whole life has been a lie like the cake was? What if @Watagump is made out of snake oil?
