I have some sad news for GFT fans.
As much as I love the cable,
I will no longer be making sen cables because the cost and labor for creating the cable is far too overbearing for me to support. I completed one today, started at 1-2pm ish, its now 10:57pm and I'm barely testing the cable
there were 3 units sold in the last couple of months. Those 3 units will be the final GFTs in production. Consider them a collectable from now on

GFT owners, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, this is still the only cable I use on my sennheisers

Thank you for the support for all the fans of the cable, I will be retiring from Sennheiser cables for the time being.
God bless,
myo

What aspect of making the cable to you find to be so labour intesive, relative to other cables you make?

Sloth you have PM with more thurough explaination

in short, the parts of the cable has to be sourced from 5 different vendors, its built backwards, and very unforgiving during assembly.

Im just slow and paranoid like that.

Cheers

That sucks. I was hoping to get a balanced G52 later on.

I will tell you only if you make one more G52.

I got that quote from a funny quotes site; I think it was this one:
http://www.comedy-zone.net/quotes/Re...ips/death2.htm

but:

In this case I will change my sig.
It is not fun to make fun of someone with something they didn’t actually say.

Who knows my new quote?

Sorry for OT.

JaZZ has the Equinox atm and will probably compare it to the Silver Dragon, Headphile and others a little more extensively.

Cheers

This is nice news. Just a couple of months wait and I can sell my G52 for $400.

Just kidding.

It's sad news, very sad.

Just charge more money for if someone does order one. I am surprised that only 3 have sold in the last few months. The cable was better than the ones I've heard (in particular the Zu, which I had a lot of time to compare). Build quality was excellent. Maybe if more people had a chance to hear them.

It is a sad day.

By the way, I can't find your cable. I am sure it will turn up some time in the future. Sorry about that, I will pay you what you paid for the cable.

Thanks PFKMan23 and Voltron for your thoughtful replies, (and a safe trip to you Voltron).

Despite the (hopefully temporary) discontinuation of the GFT, and the fact that I don't think a balanced GFT was ever sold, Myo has offered to send me the balanced GFT that he keeps for personal use. He finds excellent synergy with his Micro Stack (through a single ended adapter) and was wondering how it would compare to the Balanced Equinox on a 'high-end' HeadRoom amp.

So, prepare yourselves for yet more impressions next week...
