Just succumbed to temptation and ordered the Vykari Reference cable for my HE-1000SE. Currently using S3 cable and have been enjoying it, but it seems like Vykari Reference could be an upgrade. Look forward to it, but it is likely to be a long wait, hope it will be worth the wait.

I can only pray that someday I have a system so thoroughly debugged that upgrading from an S3 seems worth a try.

Has anybody have the volsund cable if may ask? I understand it is exactly like the silvergarde only that its copper.

Perhaps you could share impressions of the volsund. Thank you
It’s more or less like the draug, but with a bit of silver from my understanding!
The Volsund is thinner than the Draug and also a little cheaper.
It's a sleeved cable and therefore "looks like" a Silvergarde however it is pure copper.

I never heard it, but it is basically the most affordable cable in trevors line up.

The cable with a little silver is the Skraug.
It is basically a Volsund with some additional silver. I can totally recommend it to those who don't want to break the bank. It is significantly better than all the stock cables I know.

If you want a top Performance but pure copper, I recommend the Drausk

I have a naked volsund And a sleeved volsund. All copper. I preferred it to the draug 2 that i once had. I have not heard the draug 3. I found the d2 was a little too bottom rich for my preferences.

i enjoy the volsund with my hd800 (Sleeve version)
I primarily used the naked version with my auteur that simply gave me “more auter“.

however my favourite cable is the silver draug that i bought a year or two ago. I preferred that over the silvergarde 2. i never heard the 3.

my next cable will most likely be the silvergarde 4

i have also found trevor’s (thinner) solv x3 hybrid to be superb value and very well balanced.
obviously not as much detail as silver draug but the solv x3 is NOT closed or low ok detail at all

hope that helps

New Vykari fan here. I’ve got one on order including speaker tap adapter for my Riviera amp. Trevor was kind enough to let me upgrade an already executed S4 order. Just look at this beautiful cable.

Curious if I could get some help identifying a cable. Looked through the Norne site and couldn't seem to find the material. I'll gladly post a picture in this thread but just don't have the time currently.
