I had a listen to this new cable at the California Audio Show yesterday. Using a set of LCD-3 headphones powered by a Schiit Lyr, with vinyl source, I heard a pretty easily discernable difference between them and the stock Audeze cable (even under show conditions).
I didn't get the retail price (doh!), but the Nordost rep explained that they can terminate them for either Senn 800 or Audeze (and they voiced the cable with Audeze). On the other end, they are all terminated to 4 pin balanced, but supplied with adapters for all the most common alternative plugs. The cables are the product of 18 months of work for Nordost and is apparently one of the hardest for them to manufacture. The cable is attractive and very flexible.
Looking forward to finding a pair of these to audition at home!
