It sounds like I need to get both the 1960 2w and the 1950. This hobby really zaps your wallet 🥵
I know some would disagree but, I think cables are the best investment because iems and daps come and go but good cables remain to be used and matched with the new gears.

I absolutely agree with you. Good cables can be permanent in a collection and be used with new gears.

I absolutely agree with you too.

Thanks everyone. I think that because TOTL cables are expensive I get a bit hesitant when it comes to making a decision. Especially say 1950’s at $2k+. I just need to decide whether to get 1960 2w or 1950.

I think its quite easy. Given your IEMs, 1950 is more suitable.

I saw one (1950s) on EBay few months ago... It was 1500$ from memory...

For a warm iem, the 1950. For a more neutral iem, the 1960.

Hi all. I’ve been lurking and reading here as well as review sites. I’m after a cable for my 64 Audio U12t. Don’t have a massive budget though so the 1950/1960 are not an option.

From what I’ve read, and my sonic preferences, I think the No. 10 8-wire seems to be the best option. Has anyone had experience with that cable and the U12t?

And hey, if anyone is looking to sell one, feel free to shoot me a PM :p

I know that @audio123 has spent a bit of time with the No.10 so he may be able to help here.

I just tried the PW 1960 4-wired 4.4 with EE LX, EE Arthur and HYLA CE-5 on Luxury and Precision P6, Hifiman R2R and Cayin N8.

LX + P6 + R2R and N8 all incredible but my fav was on the P6.
Arthur + P6 and N8 too bright (Arthur is known for clarity, liveliness and being spacious) and better on the R2R.
HYLA CE-5 + P6 was great. Too bright on the N8 probably due to the ceramic driver.

HYLA CE+5 was absolutely my fav on the R2R. Analog sounding, incredible details from the ceramic driver and very tight bass control (many reviews rave about this) it's got the same impact and "canon-like" bass as LX but much tighter. For reference, my test tracks range from Norah Jones - Falling, Radiohead - Nude, Steely Dan - Aja, Gregory Porter - Water Under Bridges and Run the Jewels - Walking in the snow. Also, anything by Moses Sumney is amazing.

Totally shocked since I expected it to control and give better clarity to the LX but now I'm amazed how much the CE-5 can scale.

And before anyone asks or comments, I can't find a 1950s to try on the LX (I know many here suggest 1950 for the LX). The 4-wired 1960s seem to give me what I want.
