May i ask what sound qualities of AP the mentioned cables do enhance or what you‘ve been looking for to optimize?
Really curious, Thanks!

It’s been some time, but as far as I can remember, I was looking for less warmth, better resolution, less prominent but more refined bass of AP.
1950s(S) pairs wonderfully with most iems, tightens their bass and brings the mids more forwar, which I usually welcome.
Oslo is another safe choice to pair especially with warmer and fuller iems, improving their resolution and stage.

Anyone else excited for upcoming Can Jam? I am local to NY so I am stoked!

First time actually traveling to NYC for the sake of Cam jam, but I’m pretty excited too! Looking forward to try out the XM10 DAP if someone has it around. And I’m pretty open minded for IEMs.

Can anyone recommend some chassis grounding cables? They need to be a 3-4 feet long or so. I'm not dropping $ audiophile grouding wires, thats one bridge I wont cross. I need to ground my DAC and AMP and Streamer. Slowly but surely the setup is coming together, just waiting on a few more power cables. Looking for spade type grounding cables.

Good to read. Exactly what i would want to „optimize“ in my recently bought AP.

I plan to spend a good amount of time at the NightJar booth to test their ICs and see how they compare with the Shirogane on the Fugaku.

Would like to hear your impressions of the NJ Changus IC (?), if you manage to demo it.

What do you mean. It rolls right off the tongue...

Waiting for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, etc.
I wonder what's the reason behind their IEM namings...

Saturday bliss! One warm, one exciting, but both doing all genres great!

Incontinence has got to be the bass head model. I mean, c’mon.

I wouldn't have expected 1950s Shielded to really tighten the bass. But then again that's probably what the shielded version does compared to the none-shielded one. Loving the non-shielded version because it's not tight but that's the wrong way to go for this IEM if you're me. I hope the couple will be around in Paris as I want to try to love the SE.

Nobody is interested in reality nowadays, so the bigger the nonsense the more likely it is you remember something. Which translates to rule #1 in marketing.

It's only a matter of time before a company will name their creation Martin Luther King.
