Don't have the 6s hardwired yet.  It has to be the right cable for those..  

No the LCDs or the Senns don't have hardwires..

I 'll do hardwires on:

Denons  (Cable on the way for the D5000)
HFMs (not the HE-6 yet)
Audio-Technicas
AKGs
T1s (not yet)

I think I'm going to get 2 pair of T50RPs hardwired and send then to Dan and Luis so they can do their thing..


Oh you hardwire them yourself?

Yesterday I received my Reign series cable from Trevor for my HD600's and so far I couldn't be happier. I will post some impressions after the weekend when I have time to do more critical listening. I'm really diggin' the Valab 3.5mm, which I'm glad Trevor suggested. Here's some pics, there's quite a few because I like to show the amount of effect and craftsman ship that you get from Norse.

For me the Reign 24 took some getting use to or some may call it burn in.  It was a bit sharp or had a etch to it at first.  So I put the headphones down ant let them play for a few hours.  After that I came back the etch was gone.  However, it still had a sharpness to it.  So I just ran some pink noise over night and until I got home from work the next day.  Boy O Boy did that work.  Trevor told me he only put like 2 or 3 hours on it because he wanted to get it shipped out.  Please note.  I never experienced this upon receiving any other cable from Trev. 
 
Do I believe in burn in now?  Hell yeah.  For these Regin 24 cables anyway.  After about 2 days of "burn in".  I really hate using that term.  Whatever.  It really did tame the cable down.  As of right now this is my favorite cable and the best cable I ever heard so far.  It sure didn't start out that way.  All the Norn2s and Skuld 4 I got from Trev previously sound good right out the box.  The Reign 24 is a special cable and like other things that's special it deserves lots of attention.  Like tubes they don't sound their best unless they've been warmed up for a few hours.  This cable needs a burn in period.
 
Trevor is getting a lot of business now it seems.  For him to stay ahead of his orders I really don't think he has the time to let these cable burn it properly.  No fault of his.  Just remember if you decide to get a Reign 24 give it the time to warm up or burn in.  I don't know about the small Reign cables.  I 'll see about them soon enough. 
 
I will be getting the Reign 24 for all my flagship headphones.  HD800, T1 and the mighty HE-6
 
Thanks Trevor for a job well done.

It's good to hear this from someone who I know has a ton of Norse Audio cables. I'm burning mine in with pink noise right now actually so I can do some critical listening over the weekend.
