I can not really understand which FW suits my wm1a best , cause i am pairing my Zeus XR with a silver cable (Eos) which does not pair well with it (my Lionheart needs repairing so i had to send it back to SIngapore), but i Like Solis a lot even with a not so great synergy between ciem/cable



However something good came out of this situation, as i decided to upgrade my cable chain, and i will have (finally!) a 1960s 2w hopefully next week

@Kerouac has been telling me for months that it's the cable to pair with Zeus XR, so who am i to say the opposit ? besides it's been 3 years since i did some major buying in here so i guess i deserve a little present after all this time

I expect marathons of music porn fest inside my ears in the coming weeks :p

@proedros I'm awaiting your impressions of the 1960s 2-wire. I have the Zeus XIV and I've been curious about that pairing too. I have the Lionheart via your recommendation as well. Just wondering if I can squeeze out a little more fidelity from this awesome IEM.


LoL I could send my 4 wires to pw and split and sell you the other half hehe )

Kidding )

I was also refusing in to believing in that cable and specially at the price tag!

Heard it at canjam lost my mind LoL.
And when musicteck offered a 25% discount and no tax that was my weak point and I insta bought it !

Pw1960 4 wires 1.5m long with a nice 4.4mm jack


This cable simply takes your mind and teleports it into a parallel universe! You never come back hahaha

i have read that 2w is the one to get for Zeus XR so i went for this version - apparently the 4w is too trebly for Zeus (but it should pair great with less 'trebly' iems)

I've found that with Solis I need to reduce the volume compared to the stock firmware.

It seems I was listening to it louder on the stock firmware to hear more details but Solis can deliver more details at a lower volume. If I used the same volume level the highs tend to get harsh on Solis compared to stock.

Yea have read the same somewhere.
But honestly the 4w dont add treble it actually add more mid forwardness and immense resolution. Treble is not peaky or elevated its as smooth as my gold plated silver but more weight and thicker.
With my trio its nicely smooth and shimmery just perfect.

Also 4 wires add more power to the sound everything sounds so big louder just true lucid sound.

4wires has unmatched resolution and clarity its really the most special cable I ever heard to date

1st choice wm1z
2 wm1a
3 zx-507

I highly recommend you get the true Japan models...

If soundstage isnt a big deal for you go for zx507. It still has soundstage but more harder to feel it. Thought bass is very good! Almost like 1z
