For the LX I strongly recommend the 1950, the 1960 makes the bass and mods very meaty, while the 1950 brings more air details and increase the treble resolution.


even though i have 1960s 2w, i recommended 1950s because 1960s 2w really beefed up the lows in my zeus XR which is the area that LX needs zero boosting

1950s would probably be my choice here

1950s and Legend X is one of the best cable pair ups I’ve heard amongst any IEM and cable pair up. Seriously, it’s very good. Helps tame the bass and just takes the rest of the signature to higher levels of technicalities.
From memory, the Horus 4 did the same with the bass. But maybe the 1950 is more technical.
Anyway, the Horus 4 was a good pairing for me.

What the PW 1960 2w does for my Zeus XR is comparable to what the Horus 4w does for my EE Phantom (and LX when I had it on a loan) => it brings out the best in that specific IEM... and then some more. Sometimes 1+1 = 2½ (as a result of perfect synergy) :ksc75smile:

When I tried the Horus on my Zeus and 1960's on my Phantom, 1+1 was 'just' 2 to my ears.

I just bought a 1960 2w, I’ll try to compare them on my Fourte Noir.
I owned a 1960 4w and of course, I sold it last year... I thought I will not need it anymore => I was wrong I guess ah ah ah

The 1960 2-wire increases and tightens bass a bit, moves mids forward a touch, and lightly smooths out treble but also makes treble notes wider. With the Zeus, it gives the added bass needed, pretty much leaves the mids alone, and tames the treble a small amount (a perfect small amount, to my ears). I think it would be counter-productive with the LX and/or Phantom, which likely would benefit from something that would brighten the upper end and not increase bass. From what I've read, the 4-wire version actually increases treble slightly.

For the money, with the right iem and DAP, this cable is magic.

When I got mine I wrote Peter a fan letter. :)
The 1960 is a mainstay throughout the years since its release in 2017 and I am quite impressed by the fact that is able to hold its ground against newer releases of other flagship cables.

It sounds like I need to get both the 1960 2w and the 1950. This hobby really zaps your wallet 🥵
