Here it is, Toxic Cables new
HYDRA
Pure OCC Cryo Type 4 Litz Silver in a whopping 18AWG and 22AWG
The Hydra is the first of it's kind, not only is it our first pure silver litz cable, this cable utilises 3 different sized silver strands within each of the 6 bundled silver strands within each wire. All of the 4 wires used to make each cable contain 6 bundles of silver strands with each bundle being made from 3 different sized OCC Pure Silver strands with cotton dampening at the core of the wire.
Previously we have always used gold based cables, although not as conductive as pure silver (which our competitors will always point out) we have always believed in designing wired based on how they sound, regardless of how conductive they might be.
We have still always wanted to offer our customers an all silver cable, we did at a point with the Anthrax stranded silver cable,but i soon took this off the shelf as i never liked how it sounded, bright, harsh, lacking in the low end and very muddy before long hours of burn in with most headphones.
Earlier this year, i started working with the leading manufacturer of Pure OCC Wires who we have had a good relationship with for many years and agreed to make us small batches of wire with my specific designs, till i loved the sound of a particular design and we hit gold on the 3rd batch and after refining it a little, we now have the 4th and final batch in hand as of last week.
I am now quite confident in releasing this first of it's kind and the largest gauge silver headphone cable on the market.
We have not used multiple wires to make up the 18awg as others do to make up larger gauges, but this is a new single 18awg wire, we also have a 22awg available of the same design and construct
Hydra 18awg For Audez'e
Hydra 18awg for Sennheiser HD800/HD800S
Hydra 22awg 2pin IEM cable
Hydra 18awg 2 Wire version for IEM (equivalent to 4 x 21awg)
Comparison of the Hydra 18awg and the Silver Widow 22 (22awg)

It is a thick cable, a lot of silver there, but still unobtrusive for headphone cable and very comfortable.
Pictured 2 headphone cables are already sold, so we will get some end user feedback soon.
