I liked what I heard but I can't really say much more than that as it was a quick listen in an uncontrolled environment. But I do have more pix as promised.
 

 
The left is the SS cable which is supposedly going to be launched in Dec. Whilst the right cable is Diamond Dust which will be launched tomorrow. Both are terminated with VentureCraft 2.5mm TRRS. Above are Noble IEMs.

Diamond dust is supposedly brighter and more spacious vs SS which is warmer and powerful and magical. Does that ring a bell?

Nope. I stopped watching Disney for many years now.

On the MH335DW, the Wagnus Proton was (to my ears) a huge improvement over the 001. Granted the Proton was balanced out but It almost made the 001 sound mediocre, muffled even. I was frankly more impressed with the difference the Proton made over the 001 on the MH335 than the Uber over the Silver-Gold on the Ref 1, if that made any sense.

Hi Bootsy1,

How do you find the SIeve Sheep compared to Luna, Proton, your Bootsy1 Progress and other cables in your inventory?

This is not about which one is better, but more sound impressions/ descriptions.

Just wondering how a vintage cable could match with modern technology such as PCOCC processed cables or the silver + gold like Uber. Thanks so much!

The Wagnus Sieve Sheep is made from a rare vintage copper wire from 1950, by a German company. It has 60 braided strands wrapped in a pinkish colored silk. It's tuned for a natural vinyl LP type sound and for detail, and it delivers them both in spades. Noble owners should definitely have a listen with this cable (or any Wagnus cable) if the opportunity ever presents itself.

Ordered a Sieve Sheep balanced with an adaptor to single ended from Haru. Instead of going with Uber for my Ref1, going to try an all copper solution. Can't wait to try it out. :stuck_out_tongue:

I honestly think with most IEM this has high gain and the attenuator is a must. I dont know why I have not fallen for wagnus like the rest of you, I really don't know why.

Hi lescanadiens,

I was able to get some background info on the Sieve Sheep and Diamond Dust from Haru today.


Thank you for your Questions about our Cables.


"Sieve Sheep" is the flagship cable for our products.
I started to make this cable for a professional mastering studio (the balanced XLR cable).
After that I gave it away to Ted Jensen (from Sterling Mastering).
http://wagnus.exblog.jp/14409708/

And afterwards we considered to make the portable cables,
I made "Baby Sheep" for mini to mini cable use.
That cable was very nice, and its sounds near the Sieve Sheep.
And this cable become our best selling mini to mini cable.
This time,we thought we should drop our BEST cable in December 2014.
This is it.

Sieve Sheep recable sounds perfect and magical for listening to music.
Warm sound like a natural vinyl records and also like a tube sound.
However the resolusion is perfect. And it is powerful and phase balance is awesome.
Mostly, I wanted the sound of it to be natural, and the sound that I aimed for was musical and touches "your" heart.
This cable charmed many people in headphone festivals in Japan as we attached for our demo.

Cable detail is 1950s awesome Germany (copper found from Slovak Republic) 60 wires copper in each
and silk winding insulation (this is the perfect material).
And we chose a great "blended (2 of)" solders like a magic powder for making the sound for this cable :)

Also we considered how to make it,
"how to twist"
"which side to twist, example right way or left way? how many times to twist... etc"
You can check the same wire detail at here.

Price is 100,000yen without tax and Balanced type cost 110,000yen without tax


"Diamond Dust" is the newest product that comes from Yugoslavia( "super rare" great wire).
The detail is PTFE insulation and high-purity silver plated copper with Yugoslavian industry
which was made during the cold war generation for Bulgarian and USSR Militaly specs.
The sound is bright and super clear detail sound. And phase balance is excellent,
also mid frequency power is nice. And a bit flexible.
However, this cable has few numbers and we distribute a type by lot and sell it.
The first lot (Phenomena) is sold out, and it will made from the second lot next time,
and this is going to be sold out immediately now.
But the sound quality changes by the lot.
The sound of the medium- and high-frequency area is the same tendency,
but bass sound includes a difference.
Some bottom does not appear after the second lot excessively, but plays beautiful delicate sound.

Diamond dust price is 45,000yen without tax

>The Progress Bootsy1 main points are soundstage, power(attack/response), and details right?

Exactly!


Sorry for my poor english.

Hopefully, I can get some background info on the Progress Bootsy1 cable in the coming days. ( That was a thorough and nice reply from him in English and I'm sure it wasn't easy).
This post is long, so I'll give some impressions on another post.
