Would like to purchase a 10ft cable with a 4pin XLR for the Caldera. Like the ZMF Verite Silver, but it will cost me over $1k for the desired length. Any other suggestions on par to the Verite Silver at the fraction of the price?
I have 2 Forza Noir HPC MK2 cables. As a fan of big copper, I can't say enough about the price/performance value of these cables. They're flexible, easy to handle, and have next to no microphonics. Plus Matt is very easy to deal with.
+1 on Forza recommendations above for good value to price. For 10ft you may want to try their Claire Hybrid which is thinner (may be more comfortable for such a long run) and affordable. Have couple of those and like them.
Not sure if this counts, but mine came armed with thick pads and I prefer the stock pads. I felt the thick pads were perhaps a little to crispy in the treble and a little too withdrawn in the upper mids, whereas the stock pads sounded more aligned in that area to my ears.
Thank you all for your suggestions. The Caldera community is great. I ordered a Forza Noir HPC MK2. Anyone have an idea how long does it take to ship to the East Coast US?

Yeah, made a mistake an ordered the HPC versus the hybrid. As soon as I discovered this I ordered the other and requested a cancellation. Worst case scenario i have both at the price of one Verite Silver. I do hope it arrives in a couple weeks since I will be moving early June.

I actually just got my thick’s in today. And I prefer the stock because I feel the thick’s take away the dynamics that makes the caldera really fun for me. That said the thicks bring the bass to where I personally want them, but I’m not willing to trade the dynamics for it.
Depending on the genre I’m listening to that will decide which I use though.
