Any A18s user here with actual experience on high end cables can recommend one that pairs well?
So far I’ve tried below 2 cables which I think pairs well with A18s.
Will be testing the Toxic cable Medusa v2

With the U18s (not the A-model, but hopefully this is helpful) I found the Penon ASOS+X to be a great choice.

That is, if you don’t mind a very thick cable… but there are also thinner versions (ASOS and ASOS+) if a thick cable is a concern.

The Penon thickens the deep bass a bit, and extends the subbass while bringing the mids forward a bit. Those are my two minor notes on my U18s’ performance, so I really like the ASOS+X with them.

Long time A18S user, I love the pairing with both Eletech's 2w Plato (the thick one, I forget what it's called) and the OG Iliad

I like the A18s with the silver module and with a treble-boosted cable personally, since it's a little dark by itself

Anything silver and bright works well imo

Thanks for the recommendation, it looks nice on the website. Unfortunately I can't find any shops here that carries this brand.
I don't usually buy stuff that I can't test first.

I went to test 2 cables today, first one was Eletech Euclid but it sounded a bit strange on the treble region. I'll see next time if they have the Plato to try.
Second cable was the classic Crystal cable Dream Duet, I really like the sound stage and detailed sound. Bass has great quality and quantity, very good for hiphop and rnb soul music. But a bit too much for classical.
I think they're both silver, just different presentation.

@64Audio, is this some kind of a sick joke?

had my volür sent for repair. received an email stating that your repair guys made the necessary repairs, cleaning, and tuning. then i received this. excited to listen to my volür once again after almost a month of waiting. not to mention the shipping fees I had to pay.

THE STRIPPED NAKED VOLÜR.
MISSING FACEPLATES
MISSING MESH ON THE NOZZLES.

they've made the necessary repairs, cleaning, and tuning

Oof, that's rough, man. So the 'cleaning' involved removing the faceplates, and the 'tuning' meant taking out the nozzle mesh? Some 'repair' service

i wonder if they ever did run a final check before packing the IEMs and sending them back.

I’ve been wanting to send my fourtes in for this service… but last year they told me I could pick my faceplate… I never sent it in and now they say their procedures have changed and they will still replace them if I want, but I can’t pick which one I get anymore. I was kind of bummed out and didn’t do the service yet again. Still may do it at some point, but I hate to send it away it just sounds so good.

the faceplates on mine were unique for my unit when i purchased it. abalone shells dont come identical. now they're lost...

originally sent my volür because the sound gradually became attenuated from the right earpiece. bass was louder/more prominent from the left compared to the right. i had to use the m12 or mx module on the left earpiece, and the m15 on the right, for music to sound equal from both earpieces.

we're terribly sorry for this major QC error. This clearly does not meet our standards and the team is working hard at the moment to fix this. The plan at the moment is to work with our Philippines dealer to get a new unit to you asap and swap it for this one. Our customer service reps are in touch with you over email and will keep you updated as soon as we get confirmation from our dealer.

Mistakes are unfortunate but they do happen.

What's important is how a vendor responds and looks after their customers, which it seems 64Audio is doing well in this case.

Frustrating as it may be, I'd probably wait to give a vendor the opportunity respond to my concerns before airing them on a public forum like this, but that's just me.

64a is a very professional and great company. I am glad to own the fourte! It is the greatest iem ever made, by a country mile!

Quite the statement so you’ve heard every IEM ever made? I’m jealous.

Lol I think pretty close. I have had a LOT and still own a lot. Though not a lot in the same league as fourte. Maybe that’s why I like it the best. I’m not sure, all I know is nothing else is even close. I thought monarch mk2 was perfection, then I heard fourte and it is at least twice as good as monarch. Lol. U12t and monarch were more similar to me and both good, but fourte is twice as good as either of them. It’s absolutely insane.
