Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

Frank,
 
I've been away from this thread for awhile - just finished reading 186 posts.  
 
You're getting beat up pretty badly, but man, for my tastes, DarknightDK's HD800 custom cables are surely the best looking and, no doubt, superbly performing, headphone cables I think I've ever seen:
 
 

 
Seriously nice work, Frank!   And congratulations DarknightDK!

Frank...it seems that you could use an extra hand, or two based on the volume of business you're currently taking in. It's a good problem to have, believe me I know.
 
Best of luck and continued to success!!

In my opinion, MattTCG's advice is golden.   It would be next to impossible for you to hire someone who can make cables as well as you can, but relatively easy to hire someone to manage the e-mails and PMs.  That person could come to you for quotes and to get answers to questions about specifications, but handle all the rest - and maybe clean up the web site, too.
 
You're doing a fabulous job Frank - it's time to expand your business to meet the demand. 
 
I apologize if all of this seems obvious, but I felt compelled to second Matt's suggestion.  We want you to succeed Frank.  
 
Mike

I do actually already have couple of people helping me with orders, they mostly do the braiding and packing of orders and some other odd jobs. I do all the soldering and heatshrink myself, but have them do the sleeving. I believe i have mentioned this before. I also have another person, who occasionally helps with IEM and Piccolino cables.
 
Unfortunately, emails do take a lot of time to answer also, but i need to take care of these myself. Having someone else, who would not know much can complicate things even further, so i prefer to deal with all the emails myself.

What a brilliant idea.....Kudos Frank for being an inovator in this area.  This gives a value added rating to custom cables....and a very good way to A/B cables from headphone to headphone to IEM.  I had been looking into an adapter to fit in headphones to make them compatiable with HPSC cables.  Is that somthing that may be on the horizon of posibility?

Thank you.
 
So what you need are sockets for the HPSC connector, i currently only have a couple of sets left, but will have more in stock in 3-4 weeks if you need any.
