Just paired my Dunu Luna with PW Monile Ft. 1950. Excellent dynamics. Very engaging & tight expression.

Hey guys I just got my pw1960 4 wires cable.

Well at first I liked it a lot but I feel like I am still more in love with my gold plated silver plussound cable. Am I strange?

I feel like the treble on pw1960 is a little to peaky and and not ass smooth and refined as on the gold plated silver one.
+ bass has very different presentations on pw1960 its fast rumbly and quick decay. On plussound its thigh black background and longer decay also nicely boomy.

I dont know are pw1960 cables need a certain time of burn in ??? I was told they where already burned in at the factory for 800hours.

Hmmm any suggestions why I am not so satisfied? But I did like it at the canjam dont understand...


If I wont get along with it in few days it will be for sale !

My experience is the opposite of yours vs the EA Horus which is also a gold plated silver cable.

the 1960s smoothed out the treble on the Z1R driven by the K mod 1Z which had really high resolution. Was not able to use the Horus for long sessions on the player. The characteristics of both cables is very distinct. The 1960 is resolute but at the same time very musical. It made me tap my feet when using it and it’s so smooth that I could listen for long sessions without fatigue. I’ve never heard that the cable was ran in during production. Prob give it about 50hrs and see whether it improves.

I am with same feelings of pleasure but toward my plussound cable. It has less treble annoyance to my ears while I feel that treble of a copper cable in pw 1960 not as bad as in effect audio ares ii 8 wires but has similarities...

I really hoped this cable wouldn't do that. But seems to...
I only have 5hours on it so its fresh...

I tried this cable at canjam NY and thought that pluasound cables (their top 2 tiers) are far better, like you I thought the pw1960 2 wire had a peaky treble, not musical, way overpriced


Thing is when I heard it at canjam it sounded amazing but its very noisy their. At home I have more time and better isolation and with all that I heard a different story!
