Except for the cosmetics, Is there a difference between the 1960’s 2 wire and the Stormbreaker, or are they the same exact Cable? The reason I ask is because I tried the Stormbraker with the LX and found them to have really good synergy. My concern though is whether a 1960’s 2 wire would have the same synergy or not. Has anyone been able to try both cables?

Afaik, it's exactly the same. Odin sounded the same after I swapped out the Stormbreaker for a 4.4 60's 2 wire. It's just the custom hardware that results in the higher cost from Empire.

Thanks. That answers it perfectly

Indeed.
Stunning.
Awesome build quality, better soundstage, better layering, more details, more bass and some nice smoothness compare to the stock cable which was already really good.
It's also very comfortable and I have a better hold and seal of the CIEM than with the stock cable.

The beautiful cable with the nice iem. How much for the orpheus? I have also a plan to buy it. Thanks in advance

Does PWA have a cable tour where I can demo a 1950s cable or is there anyone here willing to let me demo theirs? I’d pay round trip shipping as well.

Those should really come with a cable called 'Dixon"

Lol looks like a LE release of the Monile under another name.

Just placed an order for the new metropolis cable. Andrew was able to procure some cables and have them shipped to the US.

I found pw metropolis perfectly matched with um mest, even better than mest with orpheus, worth a try.

interesting. why do you think metropolis better pairing than orpheus?
do you audition 2wire vs 4wire?

I owned 2wire metro and orpheus
And I used u18s and mest for the AB test, found that metro better pairing with mest because of EST drivers, metro enhanced the EST performance, resulted better high frequency and I would say it is gorgeous; compared to mest, u18s also with better performance when paired with metro, but not surprised as paired with mest.

Yes, I tried all the versions of metro, I think 4wire not represent that it is an upgrade version of 2wire instead of different sound orientation. To put it simply, 2wire has a darker background since its shielding, also sound sharper and a bit compact than 4wire; 4wire ft.60s has a deeper bass to create better 3D soundstage and it sounds more natural and relaxed; for the ft.50s, it has better high frequency extension, good for multi instruments and has a faster bass.
I would prefer 2wire shielding and 4wire ft.60s.
