Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

Hi all, first time to post here.
I have ordered 2 iem cables already after reading the good comments from all you guys and can't wait to receive them.

I just need some advice now on my headphone.I found my AKG K712 pro quite harsh in treble region and I actually considered selling it to get another one, but then I thought maybe changing the cable could help? Any suggestions? I heard the interconnecting wire between the L and R part of the headphone is just thin wires and no matter how good the cable I use from the XLR jack to 3.5mm, the result won't be great. Maybe should I send in the headphone for recabling to get the best results?
 
Thanks.

Here is a pic from today. The new SW22 on my HD800's. Amp is an ALO Audio Studio Six sourced by an Astell & Kern AK120mkII.

It isn't special to look at (no more so than any other SW at least) - heck, Frank mentioned it a few pages back, so NDA or no NDA (I can delete my own posts if I get into trouble hehe!) - my SW is 24AWG - so, a halfway house between the 25.5 and the 22...

I happily use it out and about every day, doesn't feel overly stiff :D

I have sent two emails regarding some changes i might need on my order but so far there was no reply for a week.
i guess that's normal though...but i really need to confirm with him as I have a new addition to my list of earphones and I really want it to be compatible to the cables Frank will be making for me 
Should i just wait for his reply instead of bombarding his mailboxes with my emails?

I've never e-mailed him but I tend to have good luck PM'ing him here. Might want to give that a shot.
