A little cable porn by @skedra - currently discussing an extra few HP cables and some IEM goodness

2x wires of palladium plated silver and 2x wires of gold plated copper for max awesomeness

hi, any feedback impressions about this cable please

for 5500$ an IEM should cook you steaks and give you BJs

oh, and do your tax returns.

It’s oBravo pricing and the reason why in this specific case it’s not even a part of the discussion haha - they are in a completely different, own category. I don’t really consider them to be part of the “audiophile hobby” segment, but their own niche of sorts

It’s terminated to be used with my Diana V2/Phi - can’t really comment on how it’ll do with IEMs I’m afraid

hi, any feedback impressions about this cable please

Here's a couple of unedited extracts from two recent IEM reviews I did - for the Solaris 2020 and the Final Audio B1 respectively - in which I described the effect of this same Skedra cable upon the sound signature:

Solaris 2020
"The background is blacker; notes stand out more and detail and resolution are increased.
Soundstage and separation also increased"

Final Audio B1
"I immediately noticed the wider soundstage and separation and increased clarity.
Which by itself would be enough to make a person want to dance with joy and gratitude for all things Viking-related, but on top of that the real and unexpected delight was how it made the B1 sound more musical, organic, rich and resonant, and enhanced the ability of the B1 to draw attention to small details in the music. It's a truly stunning combination that displays terrific synergy and was simply a joy to listen with"

Hope this helps a bit

The question now is, what we need to do to find a rich uncle who can commission said Skedra cables for us.

I've got 6 of them arriving on Wednesday - will post photos/impressions - @skedra went nuts on these ones, I won't spoil anything yet but he made some incredible stuff for me

If I may intervene, I just saw that Burson launched something interesting - the new version of their compact Burson Play. Given how good Burson's devices have been in driving certain IEMs/headphones, this new machine could be an affordable option to play with.

Burson's price to performance is great, I have their Reference and I love it with HPs

Agreed! For the kind of performance their devices deliver, the prices are really good. I was originally thinking about getting the Cayin C9 to pair with my IEMs; now I am thinking about getting this first since it is a lot cheaper.

Looks really good! Like the vertical stand too.

The cooling of their new line-ups (all sharing the same kind of case) is really impressive, and it should stand up nicely alongside the laptops
