You will also be spending allot more coin for the 2-Channel system that beats it.
I already did it. Spent tons on my 2 Channel and full size cans… Not sure if they’re better than the Bird though.

Here’s a sneak peak of my systems:

The thing is, it's not an either or situation, it's an 'and'. 😝
I am skeptical that the improvement from the cable is worth the price. I don't trust myself either. IF I listen to it, I'll probably want it. So, I am going to live in denial.

FOMO will be huge if I don’t get the Orpheus. Such is life of a Head-Fier…😂🤦🏾‍♂️
That's why denial is such a good strategy.

Whoa nice! The bird is a small change :sweat_smile:

If you and @aaf evo end up with severe withdrawal seizure this weekend, your ER is right here, just 3 hours away. I will gladly take orphy for payment so you can enjoy a dose of bird :grin:

I look at it two ways, I can sell the Orpheus and fund whatever TOTL IEM I want, in that context it is not worth the price. On the flip side, both IEMs I have tried it on (Traillii and 12t) both end up sounding much more natural and organic to me which is what I love. When I view it that way, it is worth every penny. :/

Stop it, you will deplete Andrew’s stock of Orpheus very soon while I am still saving for it. 😡

Simple Saturday morning pleasure. Got to love what the LP6 brings to the table. :)

All this talk about the Orpheus has me wondering - what is the difference between the shielded and non-shielded version?

No idea. 😂 I just figured if I’m spending $4k on a cable I’m going to get the “best” one

^ what he said.

it’s easier to be crazy when you’re not alone.

:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

the “shielded” version has the thicker braiding around the wire at the bottom.

It shields your wallet from ever recovering 😜

I’m actually considering the non-shielded version for another IEM. I think the weight of the shielded version is a bit of a PITA to be honest. It’s okay for Traillii because I don’t move around much when I listen to them, but on other IEM’s that I use more portably, it’s almost unusable. But the sound is amazing lol.
