I got me a few of those cheapo connectors and they are easy to use in my opinion. Just needs some glue to keep them together. Anyways, I use Kinboofi super soft cables from Amazon and reterminated them. Also made an adapter(aka snelledapter) from MMCX to the Sony one, to you use on my other cables.

I think it's a great idea and I would appreciate it immensely. In fact, the cable that you have told me seems that it will take a while to be in stock, since, among the finishing options, it necessarily appears that it's in pre-order. I'll wait for you to tell me how to place the order. Thank you very much again!

Yea it's supposed to come by end of this month. Dropped by their store yesterday and felt like a complete idiot cuz they only have cables with mmcx/2 pin connectors to try out and i only have my ex600s at hand. Cables with exk connectors have to be pre ordered and not on display to try out. But i did have a good feel of the Lune and it's really well constructed, good solid braiding which doesn't feel stiff and microphonic, good y splitters and jacks/connectors. Well it better be for the price. That's all i can say for now

Thank you very much! Yesterday, I was just looking at the possibility of ordering the Lune cable instead of the Arete. What about nylon sleeved finish? I have doubts about which finish to choose.

Has someone a discount code for Null Audio? Have a great day!

I got this cable from PWaudio because I didn’t love the feel of the stock one. Not as soft as the Null Audio Lune cable, but it goes with the EX1000 aesthetic better and it won’t turn green over time :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

For Null Audio cables, from what I've seen, they have a sale once every couple months? Their last sale ended last week, and I'm guessing their next one will be in early August for Singapore's National Day.

Humanity has been trying to solve that for the last 8 years, with some even having to shove 5 BAs, painting them green and pricing them above a thousand dollars just to be mentioned on the same breath.

I gave up with that attempt for the same reason people don't wear their HD600s outdoors but do check out toranku's thread on headfi or BGGAR's youtube channel..

Might wanna check out james444's take on the JVC FD-01 modded as well. It's not all BA and worn cable down, but it's selling at a good price point and for a long time exk owner to say he slightly prefers it in certain instances and has better isolation, that has to mean something

Im really going for all ba since i want a different presentation. I dont think ill find a dynamic i enjoy more than the ex1k and im not trying to replace it. Simply looking for something different but on the ssme level
