Congratulations, claud W! Alex knows his stuff! The Red Series is so wonderful it's hard to imagine the Platinum being even better. I think one of these days I'll go to the Cable Company and audition the Platinum, compare it to the Red. What a treat that's going to be.

Too busy listening to comment.  No, I really feel it is a step up the ladder from the RED.  I do have to send mine back to Alex as I had him use Eidolic EMX-4R.  They have been a pain in the a**.

One of the connectors just does work right as when you push the black button, it doesn't disengage.  I have to unscrew the barrel and then can get it to disengage.  Would not recommend them.  Just to be clear, this wasn't Alex's recommendation, he did it specifically at my request.

I can comment on this question, as a beta tester of the Platinum cable for my LCD-X (thanks, Alex).  The Platinum cable does need a break-in period.  Alex recommended >100 hours.  Over time, I've now got around 90 hours on it, the sound of my X has improved greatly - surpassing the SQ from my Red that are fully broken-in.  Specifically - deeper low bass, wider midrange/midbass stage, and really clear highs.  My last post to Alex said that the midrange of the X is now approaching my HD800, and that's no small feat.  Each time I hook up that rig the SQ is better, so the cable is still breaking in.  
 
Hope this helps -

I know there is a huge price difference, but has anyone managed to compared the Wywires red to the Heimdall 2?

Hi there,
 
im a newbie, so sorry about this stupid question, but do you know if I can connect the WyWires Red 3,5 mm balanced cable into the normal 3,5mm input of my macbook or iPone? And if not, where can I buy an adapter?
 
Thanks in advance,
N.

Hi. If your Red cable has a 3.5 mm jack, it is not balanced. Should work fine with your computer or phone.

Hi, why would a 3,5 mm jack not be possible in a TRRS option? It is possible in 2,5 mm for Onkyo DPX1.
I will buy the new Cowon Plenue S, which needs a 3.5 mm jack for balanced output, so I really hope that it's possible to order such a cable from WyWires. (?)

You're right. Let me rephrase. I have not heard of Alex making a 3.5 balanced cable but it may be possible.

He does make 3.5mm TRRS. I had one done that way
