PW Audio Cables Discussion Thread

PW Audio are still my favorite brand of cables. I ended up selling off all my cables as the FiR M5 uses a propriety connector and I didn’t want to reterminate such an expensive cable (1960s 4 wire) to a very small used connector, also the stock FiR cable is fantastic, and then I barely use my A18t now so I sold off the 1950s too. But those two cables will always be held is high regards to me.

I just got the Cleopatra and it sounds amazing, sublime even. Yes, tho, Effect Audio's build quality is a tad dubious... I have no experience with high end PWAudio cables.

This Canjam NYC I want to focus on cables...
You definitely have to give them a try, Andrew from Musictek will be there, he is a great guy, very passionate and always helpful.

I tried the Cleopatra last year at Canjam NY and it sounded great, what i really don't like are the 2pin connectors from EA, the barrel is glued on and i experienced quite few times that it was coming off, i fixed easily with a shrinking tube, but when you pay hundreds of dollars you expect better components.

i'll you at the Canjam NYC, i'll be there.

Yes, when I first put the Cleopatra on my Valkyries in the store after unboxing, the barrel slipped down, very disheartening...

I wish we could set up a meet with all NYC Canjammers... would not know how to set that up tho... Would also love to organize a NYC audiophile club where we could all meet somewhere (Union Square Starbucks?) and talk shop and have listening parties... How to organize?.....

The only other cable company, that I think has better build quality than PW, is Forza Audio Works.

As for other brands, you might want to take a look at Han Sound :p
Excellent build quality & sound. Their latest flagship cable, Torfa is very impressive.

Cool! I have been eyeing their cables for a while, but have never seen one in person.

Han sound has some good cables, i have the venom, super expensive, not very flexible, but sound wise it's one of the best cables in term of resolution. i'm not a big fan of their y-splitter, it's quite big, i just received the zentoo plus and the new splitter is soo much better!!!

Satin Audio and Eletech are another couple of young, very interesting, companies; Satin has been improving their hardware lately, while Eletech came out with 4 new cables in December, and they will be at Canjam NYC, i strongly recommend to give them a try.

That would be great, we should organize a meeting in NYC, i actually work not far from Union Square, the problem is that Starbucks is quite noisy...

I know all about Satin, and absolutely love what they are doing! I have an Athena 8 wire hooked up to my K10U. Also, I have a Hyperion 8 wire on the way, which should arrive Friday. :ksc75smile:

Excellent brand I must say.

The new y-splitter is beautiful. Enjoy your Zentoo Plus!

Same for me, focused on a cable for my Solaris.

Will be spending time at the Musictek table for this reason.
