Hello TC-philes,

I just wanted to report back that as my superconductor cable burns in, the TC has become quite an all-rounder of a headphone.

I was very nit-picky about how the TC did vocals but damn, it does vocals rather well now, thanks to greater midrange weight and more realistic timbre on the SC.

The lower treble has evened out as well and the presentation has become rather non-fatiguing compared to any other cable I have tried with the TC.

The SC is a real and meaningful addition to the TC. I am considering doing a video review for cable-believers and the open-minded, lol.

glad u r enjoying the SC cable, @sajid. Once they've settled down, it's hard to connect anything else to the TC.

1266 TC Phi + SC cable with a good system chain, a well and proper fit, and Mitch filters is pretty much smiles all day long. I find the filters the icing on the cake; subtle yet not so subtle changes.

Excellent to hear, please do a video review for it:L3000:

Well if you want to go all out, i’m selling my Superconductor headphone to banana plug speaker adapter cable. I think Joe only made 5 of these. No home should be without it. 😃

I listened to the TCs without Mitch’s filters for a couple of days and then went back to the filters today, and I must say the change was more apparent than I had remembered. Before, I thought it was a good change, but subtle. Now I realize it’s a bit more than subtle. It really is the icing on the cake.

I kind of want to buy his filters for all my headphones (if they existed). His SR1a filters are amazing of course. People seem to like his LCD-5 filters too. I wonder what some Susvara filters would sound like (though I’m not sure where the improvements would be) :thinking:

iirc think someone did send his Susvara in to Mitch to make the filters (?). i quite liked the Raal filters but some of them have really big -dB preamp gain and the volume knob has to go pretty high to compensate.

which TC filter are u using? I'm on the bass without top extension (filter 2 of 3).

I'm actually wondering if he did the filters up using the stock cable or the SC cable. did he mention? I can't remember.

I use filter 3. It turns out I like a lot of bass and bright treble. I’m not sure what cable he used. I don’t remember reading anything about that.
