Heading to Kyoto on the Nozomi Shinkansen with the AK380 + Prima Donna + MH335DW-SR (& two noisy kids)



I am thinking of getting a perima Donna for my 335dw, and since you have been using for a preriod of time with this cable on the 335dw-Sr..

Maybe you are the best person for me to get some advice on this. Hope you able to give some thought of this?

Could you quickly comment on the SQ of the Angie balanced compared to SE from the AK120ii. I've been on the fence about getting the 120ii since I picked up my Angie's, strictly curious to hear them balanced vs SE. Or if not here in the Angie thread.

I don't have a way to do a real A/B comparison because all I have is the stock SE cable vs. an upgraded balanced cable so I'm not sure if the differences are from being balanced or the better cable. But FWIW, what I find is that the balanced cable gives me a bit more clarity, more kick on the drums, more bass thump, and more 'presence.' But again, this could be from the upgraded cables.

Anyone have both stock SE and stock balanced cables for a comparison? Only the universal Angie owners got both cables.

I really only wanted an upgraded cable from the stock and getting the 2.5mm balanced was actually an afterthought. With IEMs, I'm not sure if the benefits of being balanced are so clear. I would expect the balanced out to my LCDs to have a much larger impact but I don't have a 2.5mm connection.

^ yes
going back and forth about selling it too  but I just got too many gears :) 
 
Must be my mood but it's doing the trick at the moment. Cable a little too long for transportable
