I cant believe shure has done it again! Amazing revolution... Design.
Anyway my recent purchase of VIABLUE 3.5mm cable jack does make a world of difference....
I presume you meant ViaBlue Plug, not Jack, correct? No, they are not the same thing. The 'jack' is what the plug plugs into = receptacle. I don't think ViaBlue even sells jacks.
So, you're saying just changing the stock Shure cable plug with a ViaBlue plug makes a big difference? I am surprised.
Just think what an even bigger difference a whole new upgrade cable would make....?
Only marginally at 5% increase overall sound performance. do you think 60 bucks for a plug justify it?
$60 for just a ViaBlue Plug?!?!?! That's w-a-y too much! They're like $12.00:

If you can hear (and like) a 5% difference than you would really hear (and probably like) the difference an 100% Silver (not plated) Cable would make....with a ViaBlue Plug of course:

I have really been going back and forth about getting customs. I really really want to try a set of customs, but I'm so happy with my 846's, I can't bring myself to spend the money on customs. I don't even have a clue which ones I would get. I keep looking at the jh16's, or the UE RM. I run my IEM's out of RSA amps, and they pair wonderfully with them. (Although my only comparison is my fiio e11...)
I fell/felt the same way and that is why this hobby and website can be so deleterious. I love my 846s but we wonder if there is something better. I am sure there is but at a certain point we have to say enough. How much further improvement is possible.
Yes, there has to be a point of diminishing returns somewhere along this wonderful and tortuous hobby.
What we need is "audiophile anonymous" to help us curb our addiction. You are thinking of getting a CIEM and even though I have the RSA Protector I am just about to break down and buy the RSA F-35 Lightning. WE NEED HELP.
