What is the Drausk please ?

The new pure copper flagship from Norne audio.
Arguably the best pure copper cable around

I posted my comparison awhile back HERE. My caveat would be that I had to do the comparison with adapters on the S3.

Thanks for that

Just to add for those that don't know.
Trevor also offers fitting adapters.

I ordered Vykari Type adapters for my headphones as well.

Good point. I should order some of those too in my next order.

Hi Norne fans,

Short version: Looking for input on cable upgrading- specifically TOTL copper (Drausk vs. Wywires Platinum or others).

Longer/detailed version: I have an LCD-XC coupled to an SPL Auditor (source: Schiit Gungnir MB connected via a balanced Virtuoso R). My LCD-XC cable is stock. I LOVE how the XCs sound with excellent recordings, but am looking to get a little more warmth/body in the midrange along with smoother treble.

In the past I have used the Moon Audio Blue Dragons on cans I liked the sound of (Shure SRH-1540s, AKG Q-701s), and Black Dragon Premiums on Focal Elears, which I ADORED but had to sell. This was so I could move to high-end *closed* cans due to tighter living quarters during the pandemic. And I must say the XCs give me a lot of the same pleasure the Elears did, while providing isolation in a noisier environment. But older/poorer recordings suffer with the stock cable.

So- my short list are, based on reading/lurking/research: Wywires Red or Platinum (likely the latter), Norne Draug 3 or Drausk (likely the latter), or Moon Audio Black Dragon Premium.

While Norne’s silver options sound like they are awesome, I’m worried clarity and extension would be promoted over midrange body/slight warmth.

My musical preferences include rock (ie. Foo Fighters, Black Keys, Spoon, Jack White), pop (ie. Khalid, Maggie Rogers, M83, Death Cab), electronica (The Crystal Method, Daft Punk, LCD Sound System), jazz (classic Miles, Norah Jones).

Any and all feedback is welcome, and happy holidays!

Does anyone know how the new drausk cable would compare to the Danacable lazuli reference cable?

Oh man! My Draug 3 cables are getting nervous about being replaced. . .I am a pure copper guy when it comes to full sized headphones and I have got to get one of these asap.

I just received my Drausk cable from Trevor and Im using it with my He1000se and it sounds fantastic. Definitely a huge upgrade over my Noir Hybrid from Forza. More open, layered bass without the harshness of the high end.

I'm getting the SE tomorrow. The exact cable I want to get. Either that or the Danacable. We'll see I guess.

Quick temperature check.

I’ve had an open order with Trevor since October 19. Anyone get an order from him that was made after this date?

Covid is bad where Trevor lives. I hope he is staying healthy, if not, none of us will get anything!

 

[kefs]

I have some bits and pieces promised from before then. Its not a problem, you soon learn it's Trevors way. I wish him a great 2021 !

 

[jaboki]

[update] Trevor is awesome.

 

[PeteSTRADAMUS]

I would love to place an order. But 2 months or anything close to that is a little ridiculous and too long of a wait. Shame, because I really wanted to try one of these cables.

[update] Trevor is awesome.

I know he’s slow and I get that. I forgot I even placed an order. I just wanted to get a gauge of where the list is at when he originally promised he’d finish it by early November.

I'd say it's more of squeaky wheel gets the cables. I always recommend checking in with him politely on a regular basis until you get confirmation that the package was actually shipped.
