Congratulation to this amazing cable.
Love mine too with the VC and the Rögnir.

Beautiful workmanship. The square braiding alone is magnificent... imagine the patience and experience it would take to square braid 8 wires perfectly.
In what way does the Drausk sound better than the Black Dragon?Also, Trevor posted a week or two ago that he was taking pre-orders on the new clear Drausk. This is the Norne Audio top-of-the-line flagship 100% copper, thick gauge cable. I've been extremely happy with my black Drausk! It's been a noticeable upgrade for me replacing a Moon Audio Black Dragon. No knock on the Black Dragon, the Drausk is just better.
Something to consider as you look for a cable for your HD-650's.

Do you remember which sounded smoother/more blunted in the uppermids and highs between those 2?It's been several years since I owned a black dragon cable. When I wrote that I had exact attributes for each that lead me to favor the Drausk. I can't add more than that at this point.
Not really. I will say that the Drausk has more weight and mass to the sound. It's a grander sound and it's a more cohesive sound.Do you remember which sounded smoother/more blunted in the uppermids and highs between those 2?
In my experience with numerous power cables connecters, AC wall outlet and headphones, interconnect cables, the plating used has a very significant impact on the sound. It certainly the case with Furutech. I have Furutech GTX-D gold, Rhodium and Rhodium NCF outlets. All sound different. My preference from best to very good is:Has anyone found a sound difference using Furutech Rhodium connectors vs standard gold plated?
And if one connector has the core metal made out of brass, and gold plating on top, would that sound the same as a connector made from copper with gold plating on top?In my experience with numerous power cables connecters, AC wall outlet and headphones, interconnect cables, the plating used has a very significant impact on the sound. It certainly the case with Furutech. I have Furutech GTX-D gold, Rhodium and Rhodium NCF outlets. All sound different. My preference from best to very good is:
1- Rhodium NCF (by a large margin - combined qualities of gold and Rhodium without their drawbacks)
2- Gold (dense, organic and smooth but a bit syrupy and slow with narrower stage in comparison to Rhodium).
3- Rhodium (resolution, openess and speed but recessed mids V shape sound and listening fatigue over time).
Sorry but I don’t have the knowledge to answer that question. I only communicated my different experiences with plating of different material. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable could chime in.And if one connector has the core metal made out of brass, and gold plating on top, would that sound the same as a connector made from copper with gold plating on top?
