Hello "MikePortnoy/Portnoy83",
 
you mentioned the Poetic series in your review. I have received my order of a Poetic series and will post a photo of it.

Hi, 
 
Nice to see you have the Poetic. It looks really cool. Which wire have you chosen?

That's nice! Sleeving looks very good. 
 
After enough burn-in, please share some impressions about Poetic.

I will. And I will be sure to include a Dream Theater track from the Portnoy era among my test tracks!

DIY iem cable using the $1.50/foot wire in translucent blue insulation. Looks and feels premium, awesome wire for the price. Added depth and realism on first listen and I would consider these natural sounding, smoothed out any peaks/sounds dry. Christian's customer service was excellent as well, I was worried my package was lost in transit because I waited 2 months for it to arrive from US to Canada (ebay free shipping from china takes at most 1month for me) but he assured me it would arrive soon and helped me with problems and concerns really quickly. Looking forward to future purchases from Plussound

A quick question to all plussound owners and maybe plussound itself. I have in my possession an 8-braid silver cable made by plussound with what appears to be a right angle rhodium 1/8" plug.
I'm not entirely clear on the specs as I essentially bought an item ordered (and cancelled) by someone. My bad, should have asked more.
 
A few months back, I noticed a brown colouring on the plug. Big deal, I thought. Metals oxidise. What I did not expect was that the plug would not conduct signals properly sometimes. I have to twist and turn for it to actually work. I tried with my other earphones/headphones and I am sure the problem was with the plug, not the player/amplifier I was/am using. While it is rather irritating, it does not affect the sound quality in any way. Just that it won't deliver the signals sometimes. 
 
Has any of you encountered this kind of problem before? If yes, with what kind of cables? Is it a common problem with rhodium plugs, or am I actually receiving something else?
 
I should note that the problem was most prevalent when I'm using my sansa fuze.
 
Hope any of you can enlighten me with any kind of information that may help me.

Hi guys,
 
Want to ask a question to existing owners of the latest Type 6 Litz lineup of wires from Plussound. I have a friend who owns a Copper Type 6 Litz and a Tri-Metal Type 6 cable and both are showing oxidation in the copper strands within 6-8 months of use. Has this occurred to anyone else or is my friend just majorly unlucky? I have some Tri-Metal DIY wire headed my way and this is a rather off-putting thought to have to deal with even if it is the best cable I have heard since I've gotten into the hobby.
 

 

 

 

 

 
EDIT: Further inspection even reveals green oxidation on the silver+gold strands?!?
