That would be pointless... Imagine Frank telling us the pricing of ALL possible combinations - the list would have no end! If you want more conductors, different plugs/connectors or whatever, just talk to him directly.

So far this day has started amazingly. Its snowing here 
biggrin.gif
 and my tf10 vipers (SPC) arrived! I hope to do a proper review in a week or so if I can find the time after at least 100 hours listening but first impressions are great. The cable is light, I can't find a single flaw anywhere and it looks amazing. Initial listening impressions after around an hour so far are good but still needs a burn-in. An important thing for me was that the sound sig of the tf10s was kept roughly the same with slightly more oomph (yh, using the technical terms) and the viper has done this exceptionally well. The mids are much clearer and a little bit more forward without losing the fun sound I love so much about them. The treble seems to me to be slightly less sparkly but more detailed but the biggest improvement to my ears is the bass and transition to low mids. I found myself frustrated at times by how with bass heavy tracks the bass would bleed into the sub mids but that is gone. Also the detail and clarity of the bass has improved dramatically without becoming more or less powerful. Its just much clearer. However these are just initial impressions and I'll hopefully write again after more listening and a good burn in but so far they are looking good and sounding even better.
 
EDITED
