I've had the Draug 2 for my HD800 for a little over two months now. The performance is just superb! The Draug opened up the bass of HD800, I haven’t even dreamed H800 could have such a meaty and solid bass! The highs are tamed a little bit and became smoother, vocals are more focused and have a fuller body. It is such a greater cable!

Received my Draug v2 today for my LCD-2f and LCD-X(when I finally pull the trigger).  Time from order placement to delivery was 45 days.  Not bad and I didn't care that much since I can't use it until my Liquid Carbon arrives(counting down to 2 months now hopefully).  Beautiful workmanship, quality materials, nice colors, and not as heavy as I remembered from the demo at the Nashville meet.  I hope it sound as good as it looks when I finally get to try it out.

Hey Pipen, beautiful cable!!! Trevor can do a 1/4" extension from the 4 pin XLR, that's what I have on mine. I don't know if I could be that patient:wink:.

What would the community's recommendation be for a cable for my new Hifiman HE-1000's arriving next week? Solv? Draug? Arcane? Not really worried about price but want the best cable for these cans.

Trevor has a new silver cable just for the HEK, from my conversations with him sounds very special. Now I just need to get an HEK!

Hmmm....I wonder if that's the Arcane series.
 
Trevor, if you're reading along, feel free to PM me with your recommendation :wink:

If I order these, it'll be a 45 day work time? I'm thinking of picking up the Skoll. Also I know there are those headphone converter extensions but do you guys know of an audeze to AD ultrashort converter? I'm thinking of picking up the Ether sometime this year.

Thanks.

No, it's newer than the Arcane, a brand new wire he just/is about to receive. I think he is calling it SolV Silver.

Most of the people who ordered Ethers at the Nashville Meet also ordered the Norne Zoetic that I brought to demo with the Ethers. MattTCG would be a great person to ask about them since he has both in for his review.

I've been really liking the bare wire look from the Draug or the Skoll so I'm more inclined with that. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Do you know what the build time on an adapter is and would the 12% discount return customer apply to an extension.  Thanks for the compliment.  Wish now I had ordered a splitter. Oh well.

Oh man, a cable exclusive for the HEK? When is he planning to unveil it?
 
Also am I selling myself a bit short if i opt for the Skoll right over the Draug 2...? My plan was to get a cable in the style of the Draug/Skoll to use with my LCD-X and just get adapters for my upcoming Ether to avoid having too many cable purchases... The real question is are either cables, the Draug or Skoll, good with the X?

Personally, I would go with the Zoetic or Draug 2. Both are an excellent match.

I can't speak for Trevor on the discount, I'd recommend giving him a call. The single ended connector shouldn't take that long, but I don't know what the current workload is at Norne.

I would run litz copper personally (Draug 2 or Zoetic). HE-1k's treble has a peak at 7k and is a bit "splashy", so I'd opt for something smooth.
