Yes, had it re-terminated since I couldn’t get along with the oem war guides. My 2pin connector also got loose so it was my chance to change to mmcx for my andromeda and T800. Plussound connector is of great quality. They did it for $50 including parts and shipping back.

Stumbled upon this. Rare to run into a fellow SilverFi user and even rarer one that has had re-termination work done.

Is this implying that you can send your SilverFi cable to Los Angeles, pick an connector type and have it re-terminated for $50?

I helped Nic (Shootout thread dude) indirectly get some Ediolic 2-pin connectors as he had his R4 re-terminated about half a year ago. But shipping half way around the world is a pain and PS is probably only a few zip codes away. Last I heard Nic was enjoying his R4 very much with the i4.

My R4 ergos are good since I was able to customise with less heat shrink (3M):

I didn't like the standard ergos at all. Fortunately, cable maker is very open-minded. The other end is terminated with a Furutech CF-763 (R) 6.3mm Stereo Connector (Rhodium).

My only fallback is David from Triton Audio whom does similar work, but since PS is the only one to sell IPX connectors that's an good option. Unless I can find some Estron IPX connectors somewhere...

Would recommend PS for termination work.
I still have my silverfi cable and looking to have ear hook mold done since I don’t want that part to turn color since it touches my skin.

Thanks for the confirmation. What a great out to have.

I use some replaceable wraps for back of the ear with the R1, but no protection on the ear hooks. There 3M Very Flexiable model black heat shrink so I hope it last, but skin oil is brutal to equipment:

Expecting an R2 with a different color scheme and hopefully thinner and more flexiable this summer, but with the Wuhan Health Organization (WHO) Virus maybe EOY2020.
I’ll have to look into the heat shrink

Because, you know, holding up your high standards for good audio is so much more important than being kind. I get it.
One can easily take things too seriously , but with wisdom one can find humor. Being able to enjoy music on any budget is a gift.
