PW Audio Cables Discussion Thread

For those who are interested, I just posted my review of PWAudio First Times new flagship cable. Enjoy the read!

Another excellent review, Alex! The First Times is absolutely my favourite pairing with the Trailli. I thought the ‘stock’ 1960s 4-wire was pretty great but, somehow, the FT bests it considerably. It’s also great with the EE EVO in my opinion, particularly if you like a punchy mid-bass.

Thank you T. Concise and thorough review as usual! Appreciated.

Just re-mortgaged my house.

Are you referring to Orpheus with Shielding version? :D

If you already had a 4 wire 1950s, what PW cable would you buy? First Time?? 1960s 4 wire or ?????

If $ was no object then I'd go for an Orpheus, if it was then maybe that new First Times cable although I haven't heard it.

I can attest to First Times being an amazing cable but... it all depends what you IEM you want to pair it with. If you want to go a notch or two cheaper, then I'd recommend either the Effect Audio Leonidas II and the Effect Audio Cleopatra or the Eletech Iliad, Plato or Socrates. Again, based on the use case. Penon Totem is also a great option and amazing value for the money.

I already have Effect Leo II Eletech Iliad, Socrates and Penon Totum.

Its starting to smell like First Times.

I would have to see if I could hear a difference first as the 1950 is that good in my opinion.
I agree, once you're at 1950s level it's really splitting hairs. I have a 2-wire 1950s and I'm told that's already sitting hairs with the 4-wire.

First Times ordered to cable roll with my TOTL others in 2022.

What would be the lightest and more flexible cable in the PW collection?
To be used straight and not over the ear with small and light IEM like the Technics TZ700.

I was thinking perhaps the 1960s 2 wires?
I also have another question regarding the 1960s: does it come now with the same connectors and splitter than the other cables (Metropolis, Mercer Spider, First Times, ...)?

Thanks

Any "Monile Mk2 shielding" feedback?

The standard 4 wire #5 and # 10 are light and flexible.
