About this deal

Additionally, the Reference and Ultimate Line cables are soldered with Mundorf 4% fine silver audio solder. I actually did build some cables with this solder and I find it easier to use compared to WBT’s %4 silver. Any item returned incomplete or with physical damage such as scratches etc., excessive signs of use, or abuse will not be accepted for return. Any item returned must be complete with all accessories, hardware, manuals, or instructions, and in the same "new" condition as when it was when shipped to you. Please send us photos or videos of it. once you get decent quality gear, you have to remember than in audio every next upgrade is more expensive to get smaller improvement. the limit is your perfectionism grade, and your wallet.

I have been using the cable for a couple of weeks and IMHO it is excellent in every way. It is similar to the "ddhifi" which gives me pause for concern in your application but it is 400mA. Unfortunately, the poor behaviour, refusal to listen to opposing views, and dismissive sniping so often exhibited by these two groups can give the term “audiophile” a bad reputation.

tpc 8c (copper,eid,M)...............................................180 average (many measured, love its color, copper) Please note that this article will focus primarily on analog headphone cables (and extension cables), rather than digital connections (such as USB or Lightning). With that said, wireless Bluetooth headphones will only be impacted when connected with an optional analog detachable cable. Claimed Improvements in Expensive Cables While the Skeptic claims to be objective, many of the discussions are far from impartial, neutral, or dispassionate. The Believer As I have mentioned earlier in this thread- "Most of the Lightning OTG cables, which have an output of 3.3V 100mA cannot fill the need for portable DACs. 5V 200mA should work well -However, I thought the "ddhifi" is 200mA so it should theoretically work. good conductivity, very well built, quite long threaded (repairable and trimmable) plugs; variants: tin plated copper (brown/copper) / copper[gnd]+silver plated copper / silver plated copper.

All I can say is that I’m a serial modifier of things, so now I’m into higher end audio, I am turning my focus to improvements. I have had a few experiences with aftermarket cables and headphones that in some cases make me a skeptic and then also a believer. This is not an advertisement but it is definitely a recommendation. Nothing was handed to me for free. I bought these cables with my money and on top of that, I don't even know the guy who makes these cables but I know that he is probably the best IEM cable maker I have tried - and believe me, I have tried a lot including stuff from Moon Audio. Have you ever read an audio review that described improvements in ways such as “better micro-details”, “has no skin effect” or that the sound is “smoothly textured”? Much of the cable debate revolves around these sorts of tenuous descriptions of sound, which by their very nature, are extremely difficult to prove or disprove. Music improvement visualisation advertisement from Burson Audio The Skeptic proclaims that they only have confidence based on proven scientific evidence and testing. The most common evidence cited involves the claim that no one has ever passed a proper ABX test of cables. What is an ABX test?I cannot tell you how many times I have heard or read that cable burn-in is placebo, cables do not matter except in your head and so on. Show me the graph they say. This type of rhetoric just tells me they have not experienced the difference, or see caveats I listed above. I just love to experiment and for me it is simple, Is there a sonic difference? What caused the difference? Do I like the difference? And so on. For 25+ years I did this. Ever use a new pure silver conductor cable (anywhere in a system)? Almost all silver cables sound thin and peaky in the HF when new. They can also sound off (PRAT). After 200 hours of burn-in these same cables sound totally different. On the other side, you have a group of passionate folks who would swear that they are able to hear a difference in sound reproduction between cables. The Believer often exhibits the following traits:

they inspire me more confidence. artisans use to love their work, and they put effort and care on their creations. that's why i decided to try Gu's cables, and titled this review as "enthusiast craftsman".the goal is trying to minimize that degradation. interference from outside can degrade the signal. twisting the strands into the cores, and also the cores, prevents some kind of interference. braided screens and other sleeves prevent other kind of interference, but this adds weight and stiffness, and it's not so important for earphones wearing. at least, this is what i've understood after some reading sessions. Yes, Gu is pricier than his competition. Oter stores will offer you something of the same specs for cheaper but Gu will give you the real thing, as promised. On top of that, there's a reason for the Craftsmanship. the wire is enough flexible. it doesn't get tangled, it's not springy, and didn't found noticeable microphonics. Ironically, using extremely short headphone cables is seldom suggested as an audio upgrade opportunity. silver variant (with detail of the gift, for purchasing three cables, an alo audio 2.5mm balanced female to 3.5mm male):
