My quest into cable testing for FW10000 still continues. It still amazes me how much FW10K reacts to cable upgrade. When it comes to cables I basically look into where the cables the cable maker sourced from. If they are keeping it hidden and are not willing to share with me who manufacturers their cable or in case they are claiming it is their design from start to end without certification, I call BS on it. Basically majority of "cable' makers out their source their raw cable from NEOTECH and very few talk about it.
OC studio providely talks about where they source their cable and don't hide it. This naturally makes it harder for them to over inflate their prices as we get a chance to see how much the raw cable cost and do the math our self.
Anyways, a while ago I bought a set of cable from OC studio, and a mystery cable arrive. It was a gift from David, and since at that time I was only reviewing what I bought, i thanked him for his generosity and did not use the cable. Looking at his site I thought I was sent the OC AuX. In the site it is advertised a smooth and I simply could not hear it. I heard a lot of treble detail, lot of micro-detail and as a result I was little confused, happy with the result but disagreed with how they described it. Until yesterday where I stumbled across the OC studio Grace 2 which is an old flagship cable of them, and the detail of this cable finally match what I hear from this cable.
Now do I like how it changes FW10K, time would tell, but this is one detail monster cable, specially in treble region. The bass reminds me of PW 1960 cable.
I will try them
