Without delving into the debate about cable impact on sound too deeply, the unequivocal improvement is ergonomics and usability, versus the stiff stock cable. Regarding sound, IMO the treble extension is enhanced as is air and stage, instrument separation and placement, with noticeable but lesser impact on other aspects of the frequency range. I certainly don't find it changes the basic character of the headphone, but there was a smidge of muddiness (low end warmth bleeding into the lower mids) which is now gone. This latter is a minor effect as Utopia 2022 sounded great with stock, and note the usual disclaimer YMMV.
Thank you so much.
Order in. Trevor was very accomodating and patient with email communication. And now the waiting begins. I’ve held off asking for an ETA. The fact the order says “processed” is enough
I thought about that. But audiolise isn't a word ... I think people understood I meant "recreate through imagination the perception of what I might hear in my head"
Can't wait for the cable to arrive and be in a happy place for real
Hi guys, is there anyone who listened to both silvergarde s3 and s4? What’s the sonic differences between these two?
I have listened to a s3 12-wire on Susvara and it sounds great. Wonder how the s4 8 or 12-wire do compare to it.

Thanks for the reply. Should I ask Trevor by email to get a better picture of how to 8 wire option Vykari or S4 would sound compare to what I heard from the s3 12-wire?

Received a new cable from Trevor a few days ago and wanted to chime in with a few "impressions" if you will. First of all, Trevor is a craftsman, truly. I've ordered many cables from him over the years but it's been 2-3 years since I've last sourced a cable from Norne. I honestly believe the build quality is even better than I remember. The attention to detail is just exceptional. Trevor was super accommodating throughout the order process and got the cable out on time with tracking (actually arrived earlier than expected). Before ever plugging in the cable for listening, the first thing that I noticed was the weight. It's substantial (full copper Draug). Trevor works tirelessly on improving his builds and the materials that comprises his cables. And it shows in the final product.
While I don't feel that cables will typically transform the sound of any headphone, I will say that this cable sounds darn good. The tone seems more natural with a pleasant richness that I quite enjoy. I really couldn't ask for anything more. Well done sir!
