When you get a chance, I'd like to see a pic of you wearing the iem and cable.  I've always wondered how that type of memory wire (tube?) fits around the ear.  Thanks!

Am very happy..also because i asked him if he could repair the cable of my beloved game headphone..my beyer mmx300, that i bought in 2008!!! And its still working perfectly, but my babygirl of 12 was a bit to active and broke the cable when she fell over table while dancing!, while wearing them :wink:
Frank said that he didnt know if he could, but asked me to sent it to him anyway..he would have a looksie into it...and he did..And he billed me very reasonbly! Thats all frank..helpin his customers out..even with non-standard stuff ('specialists here asked rediculous amounts of money to repair the cable of that phone, as its cable only comes out of one cup i understood...well frank repaired it for me..but i understand it was a tough job! thanks frank for not giving up...)
As i said many times...i dont mind spending money..i go even further..i prefer to PAY for something welldone then to get a halfway rubbish job for cheap or even for free! :wink:

Looks like Frank is back on the saddle, hope you had a good break!  Browsed through the pages a bit and saw some works of art as usual (nice stuff hifimanrookie!).  Will be in touch soon, I have some new cables that I've been thinking about.

Is there a difference between the Silver Venom and the Silver Poison? Is it just that one is sleeved and the other isn't?
 
I've ordered a Silver Poison so I'd be interested in the difference. If the difference is the sleeve then I'll gladly stick with my Silver Poison :wink:

silver venom uses a solid core rectangular silver wire and the poison uses silver/gold stranded wire.
 
The venom will be worse for portability because it shouldn't be bent too much (the sleeve helps to keep this from happening).
 
I don't own either so can't comment on the sound, but (if you believe that cables change sound), there should be a difference in the sound.

Luckily (for my wallet) I'm among those that don't believe the cable changes the sound. Or rather there is a difference in electrical conductivity but it shouldn't make a difference to the human hearing.
 
That's just my opinion and experience though so if people hear a difference good (or bad :wink: ) for them.

U forgot to say the silver venom is also 18awg and 8wire and a superior sounding cable then the silver poison which is 4wire and 26awg..its not just about sleeving or the wire used, kiats can tell u that and some others who have the silver venom..i myself will find out tomorrow whether the copper venom (also retangular solid wire, but copper) is superior then my custom BW (stranded copper wire) as it will be delivered tomorrow (its the red venom cable that was posted here recently)

+1 the tubes look rather thick on the picture, wondering how comforatabel they are when wearing over the ears.
 
@angelsblood is the silver venom for your Heir Audio 8? They are very appealing to me and I am intrigued to buy the Universal Version of them. Looking forward to sound impressions.
