Jewell was overpriced for what it sounded like to me, and the cable at that price, non starter.

UM Masons are definitely overpriced for what they sound like, and releases so frequent that just change the color claim a new generation driver and still sound similar to the last iteration (released too recently). I am all for pushing releases to higher levels of performance just make the leap in more significantly audible steps to justify another huge spend from your customers that are not all millionaires.

Juxtapose against Oriolus who gets pegged with breaching 6K with a set that sounded very nice and was supplied with a cable that did not detract, (worth the price hard to say that even now), than to follow that up with Isabellae and then Szalayi both reasonably priced and great value, and at least for now Oriolus appears to be easier to admire.
Still I prefer some companies offer the choice of no cable as many have plenty of those anyway or want a better one.

Wish that would catch on. Even offer different cable choices with different cost adders to make it a one stop shop.

AFAIK only Fitear is doing that but possibly only for the TOTL (selling without a cable that is).

Do you get a discount? Usually you just walk away with less.

There's no option to get a cable. They say something like "As you may have plenty already we don't want to force any cable upon you".

They think they are Apple.
Weird that a proprietary connector house dealing almost exclusively in customs offers this though.

With all due respect anyone with a traillli shouldn't be talking about overpriced this over that it's all overpriced imo and the jewel at 5.3k comes with The LL venom which is a respectable cable.
