That's actually good performance. The cables I've measured so far in the same way ranged from 0.4 Ohm (standard Shure short cable) to 1 Ohm (Ortofon EC7s). You need to count though that the cable impedance measured that way has to be doubled (to and from). So 0.6 Ohm single way would be a 1.2 Ohm total difference in impedance.

 
Okay, let me see if I have the math correct:
 
That would mean 0.4 ohm to and 0.4 ohm from for a total of 0.8 ohm, about 0.4 ohm higher than the current cable. Add to that the output impedance of the amp, in my case 1ohm. So 1.4ohm for the total damping? Yikes. That means a 2db dip at 5khz.

The original cable is also 0.4 Ohm one way so they're the same. No different in frequency response.

Spinfit tips are great!

IE800´s tips are awesome!

  Definitively, the brown dampers are the best on my ear.

What are those dampers and what do they do?
 
Where can I buy them from
 
Why is the brown the best one, and do other offer in sound signature
 
Cheers

What is the method to fit ie800 tips to the se846?

Thanks

  Do anyone know of a short cable, perhaps "neck style" to use on my Shure SE846 with the Noble Audio BTS? I would like a short cable so I'm able to just have the cable around my neck or something. The cable that comes with the Noble Audio BTS is not using MMCX so it won't work with my SE846.

I ordered the Sony MUC-M2BT1 from Amazon Japan. This seems to be the best Bluetooth solution for the SE846. I hope the output impedance is low enough not to affect the SE846. I'll post back when I receive it.

There's also a dedicated thread for filter mods: http://www.head-fi.org/t/802350/se846-filter-mod

I absolutely love the Questyle QP1R with my SE 846s. No hiss at all.

Just got my SE846 with Moon-Audio Silver Dragon IEM Cable. Paired with a Chord Mojo & Audioquest DFR.. Picking the right tips (like any in ear) is crucial. Moon-Audio customer service was excellent. Overnight from Cary, NC to my door in Toronto!  $ but great first impression.

Been using my 846's for a little while now. Driving them with a JDS C5D on low gain. Typically have to listen with the bass boost on to match my low end need. However, they just some to fall a little short on the highs. Currently using the white filter, have also used stock blue, and modded blue. Any thoughts on where to turn?
