@rudi0504, I don't know if you're a cable guy but if you are, I'd recommend you to try the Wagnus cables. I'm actually trying to secure some of Haru-san's time in some weekend where I can demo his range of cable offerings and write up a thread about it. I'm particularly impressed with his Proton cable and he released a Luna cable only this past weekend.

Anak, can we buy his c/iem cables from Eu? Where can I see  the units and their prices? Maybe if I get the product name correctly and completely, pricejapan.com might be helpful I suppose.

Sorry, I don't know about EU but I believe Jaben sells them around Asia. Maybe ask Rudi how he got the Wagnus amps in the first place (it seems it's direct from Wagnus since Rudi thanked Haru??). If so maybe it's just e-mailing Wagnus directly about their cables.

I just thought it was strange that there's lots of talk about the Wagnus amps but little about his cables which I've begun to appreciate recently - as such desire to demo and write an article about it.

Yup, create a new thread and let everyone know about it. The more people get their hands on Wagnus cables the better for us. I will try to see what are my options and how much budget I can put aside for a cable. Recently I got a problem with my phone out of nowhere and I think I need to buy a new phone too

 Definitely no good news for a student.

You can get anything from Wagnus via Dimitiri, it is matter of emailing him and asking him for it. On that from what I have read he gets his cable from some exotic places. For example the cable he used in his amp is taken out of some old high quality studio board mixer.

No PAD : because of hiss , I hear not so clean high ,but more volume
With PAD : I hear better rendering in high , cleaner

Mid :
No PAD sweet but a bit harsh
With PAD : very clean and sweet mid

My impression after 10 hours burn in about 2 time battery changed

Source : AK 240
Pre Amp : Valvola tube pre amp
Amp : Wagnus Epsilon S
headphone : LCD 3 Fazor
Cable :
Crystal Cable Reference Diamond
Crystal Cable Standard Diamond

High : very good extended high like my previous Wagnus , now more presence
I heard cymbals more than direct Wagnus
Mid : very sweet and natural sounding mid , now has better pronounce , more clarity
Than direct Wagnus
Bass : very good impact and very clean with very good bass speed
Separation : excellent that I can imagine where the individual instrument placement .
Soundstage : now after open up the clarity , I feel more 3 D like in big concert hall

Overall :
Wagnus is as my best SE amp from all my portable colection in term of:
Detail
Clarity
Widest soundstage in portable amp
Very good bass impact and bass speed
With tube pre amp Valvola , I get fuller sound, every instrument I can hear more detail and body
The best midrange from portable amp very sweet , natural midrange , like the Sanger in front of you
The bass has very good impact and can go very low and very clean bass reproduction .
I hear until now never get fatigue
I love my Wagnus set up more now
Never sound my LCD 3 Fasor so good in portable amp

IMO
