you do know that the one that manage a forum post and replying to e-mails are a different person, right?

How much difference is there between this PAC480 and Penon Mix?

PAC480 is mostly copper cable with half the cores being SPC don't know if it is pure silver I will get some verification. the Mix has half the cores being pure silver. I am gonna assume the Mix is playing at a different level for cables. but I did order 2 sets of the PAC480 to check out. I bet it works great for all BA iems. Will report once I get my mits on them.

I have the Mix on hand and will be able to compare.

So I seen a post on Penons facebook page about the PAC480. I am fairly certain it is mostly copper with silver plated cores for half the cores. Which is ok. I like the design and they already shipped it via DHL so I should get it maybe by end of this week. I am currently writing about the Mix and I will assume this PAC480 will not have same level of detailed nature of the Mix. Going off of Penons pricing I can believe is a $100 cable is a good indicator of level of cable. In any case I am looking forward to using them.

I will post pics here and my impressions of the cables once I get em.

should be fair comparison between these similar priced IEM right? or i should use another similarly priced hybrid ? (there is fiio fh5 in my collection or some obscure good chifi, but i don't think obscure one is good for comparison)
WHat is the middle one?

So to my surprise the Mix here turned out to be one of the most versatile Penon cables even more so than their own OS849.
Just posted my review of the Penon Mix.

Excellent cables and these match up extremely well with just about any type of earphone due to showing the best properties of pure copper and pure silver. Read more about them on the review.

Bought Mix several months ago with Volt. Getting it reterminated by Plussound to 2.5. Foolishly ordered it 3.5 back when I was trying to make N3pro my main player. When I get it back I’m gonna try pairing Mix with ESR2, Land and Oxygen. I like OSG with Volt. In general, though, I wish penon cables did not project so tall where they connect to iems
