Between the guy with 35 portable amps and a dozen DACs and the dude with a gold LOD, portable Head-Fi has clearly segued into an arms race mentality.
 
I can't wait for the guy with a hundred amps and titanium LODs.

Wow looks very cool rigs Sean
How is the Tralucent silver cable compare to 000 cable for fit ear MH 335 DW ?
Mezzo Soprano mini2mini look like silver cable too ?
Is the SQ from TU 96 a bit warm , that you put silver cable ?
Thank you

Funny that you ask about the warmth. You're right that this isn't my ideal setup as the TUR-06 (to me) has a bass thump emphasis and the 335 is already quite warm, despite the Tralucent Silver cable. The SigDJ (despite being bassy) does seem to benefit from the TUR-06 thump, as well as the KEF M500.
 
I think the Mezzo Soprano is silver. I keep asking Phanom and I also keep forgetting :D. As for the Tralucent Silver cable though, I wrote my thoughts here on the FitEar CIEM page.

Hi Sean

What I mean like my home tube pre ampT+A P 10.2 , is to warm or like wa6 se is not to warm for the tube amp .

I try to find after market cable fro my MH 335 DW that can open up the high for me:D

I have alo cable and Fit Ear 000 cable , they haven't make to my taste .i like the SQ from 1+2 for the high

I heard C 435 has better detail and more sparkle in high than MH 335 DW , is that right Sean ?

I don't actually have enough experience with the 435 to comment unfortunately. I tried it so long ago and many other IEMs in between that time till now that I can't remember what the 435 sounded like. I hope to meet VisceriousZERO later this week and should be able to compare his Whiplashes with my borrowed Tralucents.

How could it possibly be an arm race with a DIY LOD cost 12 bucks? Speaking of amps, I probably had more than 100 in the past but those were one-time disposable ones.

I think this fellow is under the impression it's PURE gold in that LOD? You're meaning it's silver wire with only 1% gold - I'm guessing that's what you used correct me if I'm wrong. That wire is reasonable, not arms race stuff.

What exactly do you mean by "one-time disposable" amplifiers? Lost me there.

Dude if you're tossing amplifiers after one use, maybe you've got the $$$ for pure gold wire. Haha. And a Bentley or two.

Haha my friend that's a joke.

I was getting tired of using the Viablue's over and again, so I bought this 6 bucks gold plated plug from a local Radioshack the other day. Your are correct the silver/gold wires are from Qables.
 
arms race? LOL. Now if you want a basketball race, count me in!
