It's 19 awg per polarity, so pretty similar to S4 4 wire.

If you don’t mind my asking, what did cost? It’s not on the Web site yet (understandable), though I know silver sourcing and pricing may put it out of reach for some of our budgets…

My Drausk Silver arrived yesterday. According to Trevor, this is a cable similar to S4 but with a new type of silver. I spent quite a bit time collecting sample images on this thread and I’d have to say, there are not enough of them!

Of course! It's about $1200 for 5 ft. A tiny bit more expensive than S4 4 wire.

Thank you. Yes, definitely out of my budget!

Good to see the supply chain issues for silver are not prohibitive to new releases.

Pretty much decided to get the Vygarde from Norne for my new Susvara HPs. People have said that the wait from time of order is long. Just curious what the time is these days? Thank you.

Its Trevor's goal to get turn around time on website listed cables to 2-weeks, but I would expect for like 4 and that way you can be surprised when it comes in early. The custom wood splitters take additional time as well (handmade), so make sure you take that into consideration.

Thank you. Just confirming with anyone here who uses Susvaras that this cable would be the one to get from Norne. I read somewhere on Head-Fi that a pure silver cable wasn't a good pairing these HPs. And Norne is out of stock on the S4s anyway. Any opinions? My other choice is the Forza Noir Hybrid but I expect, given this is a Norne thread that people would suggest I stick with the Vygarde

Well, I just got my Vygarde today for use with the HEKSE, and so far so good. My amp and (obviously) the Vygarde still have some burning in to do, so I won't have anything definitive to say till next weekend. Trevor does have a no questions asked 30 return policy.

I used the drausk silver (not burnt in yet, if anyone actually cares about that) on susvara and it is a little bit brighter with more details and sparkle than the stock cable. Honestly not THAT big of a difference, and you kind of have to listen for it to notice. I think at this rate it's more about tuning your system's synergy - if your sources are already very bright and detailed (and is stretching your tolerance), a silver cable on top of it may be a bit too much. If not, I won't worry about it. Other parts of your system will have a bigger impact on the sound signature than the cable.

Well, I consider the impact of the Silvergarde S4 8-wire on my Susvara to be more transformative than other cables... I'm coming from an S4 4-wire, which I traded in for the 8-wire. I also have a Vykari, a Drausk, and a Cardas Clear cable, all of which are useable with the Sus, but I still find the S4 8-wire's performance to be unmatched, especially in detail retrieval, soundstage, spaciousness, and "air," smoothness, as well as bass/treble extension without the slightest hint of sibilance or fatigue.

To be fair, i do not always know how much of these effects to attribute to the cable itself, and how much to the other components in the chain. I just know that the Susvara doesn't sound this good with any of the other listed cables, none of which are slouches to begin with.

Chain (for full disclosure):

Metrum Ambre (i2s) ==>> Sonnet Morpheus ==>> Niimbus US4==>> Silvergarde S4 8-wire ==>> Susvara

YMMV

Plays exceptionally well with the ESX900 mod...also Focal Clear!
