Hi guys,

Speaking of U12T, what cable would you recommend to go with it? I currently use the Penon's PAC480 and I wonder if higher tier cables such as DHC's Compliment-C or Eletech Socrates would take the U12t to the next level? FYI, I like my bass beefy, my vocals up front and my soundstage huge! :dt880smile:

Thanks!
I'm a huge PW Audio fan, so from them: Saladin, 1960s 2 wire, Monile 2 wire

Also the EA Leo II. I particularly like this because it makes the universal sound much more similar to the custom.
I’m using the 64 Audio Premium Silver cable and really enjoy the synergy. I find it pairs better with U12t than all the other cables I’ve got (EA Leo II Octa, Horus Octa, Code 51, Eletech Iliad & PW Orpheus)

To my ears, it has a good mix of upper frequency clarity and bass warmth and extension. Vocals sound clear and detailed.
Premium Silver is odd. I hated it on my A12t, but if made the 18t more bearable and was actually good with the Fourte.

Had the chance to audition a friend's beautiful pair of custom A6t!

Managed to achieve a good seal with just the nozzle and from what I hear, all I can say is that I'm super excited for the unveiling of a possible UIEM version of this. I honestly feel that despite being priced well under 64's ultra-premium flagships, the A6t on its own has got such a warm and organic sound with that expansive headstage they are known for. For its relatively more affordable price, its technical ability as a standalone IEM is already pretty superb and considering a U6t over the higher end models seems to be a matter of taste in terms of tonality to me at this point.

Super pumped for the reveal any day now!

I don't know, zebras and tigers don't normally get along.
LOL!!! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Might as well be Z for Zen for Tiger's enlightenment :wink:

That photo though... relative to the protruded 2pin connector, it's not as thick as U18s.

Isn't that just the custom ear mod 64 has planned exclusively for Tiger?

So what's the consensus? U6t? They're making a real meal out of it if it is.
I agree - it better 1. Sound pretty freakin' amazing and 2. be cracking value.

I however fear it'll go something like - "not bad, but might as well save and get the U12t"
