Rather than adding to Frank's growing Inbox count, I thought I would like to ask my questions over here.

What are your recommendations / impressions / comments when choosing between a Hydra 18 / 22 vs Silver Widow 22 / 24?

Impressed with the Silver Poison but now I needed 2 new cables, but which will be best for each of my TG334 and Noble K10UA? Cheers...

Looking forward to this as well! Finding one for my 334. 

What is your current cable?

  @Toxic Cables  Maybe you should hire an admin staff to help out with all the email and stuff. 

 
Taking on even more staff would also mean increasing my prices all round and more importantly, i prefer to deal with all emails myself, as there are a lot of custom orders and for these i have to figure out a price myself, i can't rely on someone else to do this again, as i did when i was on holiday previously.

Your efforts are much appreciated, Frank!

Thank you Kiat.

Putting in my order this weekend...if anyone have knowledge of the difference between the Hydra and Silver Widow will be appreciated

Basic difference is SW=more bass and Hydra=more treble. However, you still have to decide on which cable to choose based on what you want to changed about the sound other people can't really decide that for you. I personally prefer the Hydra with my K10s more than I did my SW and while the differences aren't massive it is noticeable.

  Went for the Silver Poison in the end. Was worried about the bass and analytical sound due to it being a silver cable but after reading a couple of reviews seems to not be the case. And now the gruesome wait.....

Silver Poison also pairs very well with the HD650
 
I used it on my Westone IEM UM-Pro 50 which now needs a new cable...
 
Can anyone suggest Silver Widow or Hydra for these Westone IEM?
 
Tend to go with the new Hydra but what would be a better match, Hydra 18awg or 22awg?
 
@ Frank, suggestions?

I own the W60 and I would personally go for the Hydra 18 IEM as it gives a bit of extra bite to the treble. Not sure if the UM-PRO 50 follow the Westone house sound though but if they do I would stick with that recommendation.

To experts here i would ask a question .. I need a cable replacement for Oppo Pm3 .. The source is Sony ZX2 .. Will Black widow be a good cable or something else you would recommend.. I am more interested in making sure nothing is lost rather than change the sound if that makes sense .. Also i don't want to spend more than half what i spend on the headphone so about $200 max..Also based on your experience what is the expected turn around time 
 
Thanks

Decided, after mulling over it for a long time, to pull the trigger on the LCD4. Its glorious with the Hydra 18AWG.

Very bling and nice

 

[Kiats]

Thanks! Sounds pretty spectacular as well. Excellent synergy off the LAu

I'm looking to upgrade my DAP and want to upgrade my stock Audeze cables at the same time.
 
Based purely on online reviews and what I've read on here, I'm torn between the Toxic Silver Widow 22 and the Nordost Heimdal 2 (there's nowhere within 500miles I can audition decent headphone cables).
 
There is a price difference - the Toxics are about 2/3 the price of the Nordosts - and, from what I can gather, the Widows a little brighter whereas the Heimdals are a little warmer. The widows also look wonderfully made, with a number of options re y-splitters and plugs (like rhodium coated etc - what does that do?).
 
I'd love to hear opinion from Headfiers.

 

[longbowbbs]

I went with the Widows and never looked back. High quality and they sound great with the LCD-X's and the HD800's.

I have some Silver Poison wire coming in. I'll let you all know how I like it when I build my new balanced Audeze cable.
