Just got a replacement cable for my ue10pro. [If the issue discussed below is something known, please bear with me, I have not been too active in the forum lately and may have missed this info.]
The original cable is beefier and has the UE logo at the Y junction. The new cable just looks..., well sincerely.... flimsy in comparison. More like the cables I found in cheaper universal IEMs. Also, the connectors in the old one have a groove that matches a groove in the monitor itself (a la Senn HD6XX). This groove is absent in the replacement cable.
I did a quick search in the forums looking for info as to whether I may have gotten a wrong replacement cable (or whether UE changed their custom cables.) Got nothing as definitive answer. Also, it is hard by just looking at some pictures as most only show the monitors but not the cables.
So, is the cable in the new (read current) custom UE-10pro/11pro that flimsy? I realize this has nothing to do with sound, but I liked the sturdier cable as it has a better feel. I haven't compared them sonically.
Any comments?
