Can anyone with Westone mmcx connector cables post a picture of theirs? I emailed back and forth with Ted, he didn't realize that the Westone mmcx connector's rubber portion is more recessed compared to the Shure.
I was worried that if you use the Shure on Westone, part of the metal connector may stick out. If you use Westone on Shure, you may need to shave away part of the rubber. He has made many W60 and other Westone cables and has not had any complaints about the mmcx connector with the metal portion being partially exposed.

Ted actually found the Lunashop connectors for reference.

+1 to all the recommendations for a silver cable. I have not found silver litz to be sibilant. (As an aside, you can never ignore that it is the treble tuning of the IEM or HP that makes the treble frequencies lean towards sibilance.)  In fact I just ordered a second set of silver litz from Mr Ted Allen. Outstanding value.

If you purchase the Headphone Lounge Reference Silver Litz it won't cost you anywhere near the USD$500 you quoted.

Ted has been amazing to deal with. I peppered him with numerous questions and he was always prompt and a joy to deal with. I can't wait to put these on my Shure SE535s. Now I just need someone to convince me to go with the Shure SE846s instead. :wink:
 
Update: damn, just ordered clear se846 IEMs.

I just want to give a quick shout out to Ted for building my new Copper cables for my K7XXs and getting them to me so quickly. They made a nice difference and are worth every penny I spent on them.

I just received my new Silver II cables and immediately paired them up with my SE846s. Impressions? I'm absolutely smiling. I can't believe I waited this long to get both the 846s and the cables. The Siver II adds so much to already outstanding drivers.
 
Then there's the build quality. Wow. Just wow. Shure etc have so much to learn from Ted Allen!!!!
 
I've taken no viagra but may have to call a doctor if my current condition lasts longer than 4 hours.... :)

If you're not aware already, Ted will be updating his line of cables, offering T2 copper and silver available September

According to Ted, there's an improvement in sound with the new materials.

I have been remiss in not posting sooner. I have been using Ted's new Type 2 Silver Litz (T2) as an interconnect between my Chord Mojo and Shure KSE1500 for about a month. I had been using his previous silver litz and while it is only an interconnect the sonic differences are readily apparent with the transparency of both the Mojo and KSE.

The new T2 has the same remarkable clarity and dynamics of the previous silver litz with a deeper and more textured bottom end. The T2 quite simply is the best aspects of both silver and copper in a single silver litz cable. I highly and unreservedly recommend the T2.

I've been using a balanced silver II cable made by Ted for my X7 -> AM3 -> HD 650 setup. It sounds pretty good for something that can be portable. Can't really provide much feedback other than things sound less muffled. Then again, this could just be the extra juice provided from the balanced setup vs. single ended with the X7.

Anyone experiencing partial sound cut-off when bending the cable around the memory wire (nearest to the connectors)? I get them with 2 out of my 3 cables from Ted so yeah... It's hard to pick up at first since you have to bend them to a certain angle to notice it.

 
I had an issue with the sound cutting out because the connectors themselves were slightly too long. I fixed it by heating that area to loosen the around the connectors and push it in.

You would have to take care not to damage the soldering due to bending the cable too much and too close to the connector?
