Has anyone tried a Toxic Cables silver cable and also a Norne / Lavricables / Forza Audioworks cable and can compare their sound quality? Any comparison between the sound quality of these cables would be really helpful. I've been considering buying a Toxic Cables silver cable and trying to choose between these options.

The only silver cable I own is https://www.cosmic-cables.co.uk/product-page/mercury-pure-silver, it is very well made and the sq is amazing in terms of both depth and detail, I think they also do an iem version, I don't
think Forza do a pure silver and although I have the Draug 3 from Norne it's difficult to compare as it's cu and to my ears the Silver sounds quote a bit cleaner.

Thank you. I think I'll go with a silver cable too.

can i still place order on the website? will it eventually be fulfilled? i am aware of the 14 weeks wait
Pretty sure you can. I placed mine a few weeks ago after asking some questions via email and Matt was very helpful and quick to respond :)

A 14 week wait, why so long, it takes 3 days to make a cable

Because for one they're not making just one cable.
And two, A quality product isn't rushed.

Thanks to Eddie's help and Matt's work, I ordered SW22v2 at the beginning of October, and received the cable around mid of December. In the meantime, I have purchased a GSP4 from a local dealer.

These Toxic Cables are really really impressive.

SW22v2 is very much dynamic, full of strength, plenty of details, wider sound stage than average, and also smooth vocal. I must say it's might probably be the cable with the very best cost-performance ratio within USD1500. I would expect the Medusa17 to be better, but maybe not 2 more times better, given diminishing margin effect.

GSP4, as Eddie commented, is very much refined in the mids, warm while full of emotion and details. It might be a perfect fit for Spiral Ear 5-way Ultimate CIEM, obvious improvement on live recording of airy atmosphere.

Now I still have an order of BW22 on the way. Expecting if the BW22 could bring some more excitement.

The Toxic cables is truly back!

I got my Medusa17, GSP4, BW22 and GW8 last week.
The quality are extraordinary. I'd like to share some pictures for you all.

Matt teaser of the new cable coming next month.
Can't wait to see!
