I would love to see the DUNU DUW02 in the roundup if at all possible (Or any of the DUNU cable line up really). I swear by this IEM cable, by far the best I've used. That said my sample size is low so having someone such as yourself give your opinion would be fantastic. For me, 80 bucks, high quality, interchangeable jacks, right angle connections, nice hand feel etc etc make them a winner.

@@AudioLevels I think what I like about the DUW02 specifically is how little they sacrifice at $79 over the much more expensive options. They only come with 1 jack, so if you want a balanced 4.4 for example, it's an add-on, but you only pay for what you need with your own equipment. The build quality is right up there with their 2-300 options.

I’m wanting to get that Linsoul Euphrosyne Litz Type 6 5N OCC Silver Plated OCC Cable like you have in blue but I want the sort of copper and white version. I know you seem to be fond of that cable, so how would you rate it(loosely) against say the FiiO lc-2.5D silver cable? And no I’m not one who thinks these cables make any big changes in sound unless you start upping or lowering impedance on the dac/amp. I’m all about the quality of materials and the aesthetic value involved. I dont entirely throw out the concept of a “synergy” that can occur between different parts of our audio equipment. Last thing, any experience with KBear cables? I obtained one of their more premium cables, all copper, thick and has Somme heft to it. Link: KBEAR 8 Core Upgrade Earphone Cable Detachable Single Crystal Copper with 2.5mm Plug for TIN Audio T2 T3 T2 PRO KBEAR F1 HQ5 HQ6 Shure SE215 SE535 UE900 MAGAOSI K5 (2.5MM, MMCX). Sorry to go on but I have a bit of a ‘interest’ in all these damn cables. Jeeeez this hobby is addictive and expensive.

@@gregwomack8162 haha no worries I'm a fiend for good cables, really is an area that can make or break a setup for me. That Linsoul euphrosyne is fantastic quality and I love the way it performs. I haven't seen the Fiio in person so can't pass too much comment, from the braid pattern it may not be as pliable.as I like. Kbear are great value, nicehk are another solid option I found and I haven't tried the new Kinera models yet but am getting some in soon and they look great (some with a interchangeable jack system)

@@AudioLevels thanks for cable tips. I can verify that the FiiO lc-2.5d(also in 3.5 and 4.4) is very supple and flexible with no memory retention or cable noise. It’s a 4core to the splitter then 2 core left and right. It’s fairly light. Only drawback for some will be the $100.00 cost.

THANK YOU. I have the Excalibur (un-f-ing-believable cable). Paid the same(ish) for the Mammoth, got them *today*, and WOW everyone’s not kidding. The cable, it’s…it’s…it’s like a strand of hay and some polypropylene pellets made out for a while, then died in a fire. And then got packed in with, imho, a fantastic carry case with a “I’m a believer, screw those snobs” pair of iem’s. Don’t know that I’ll splurge for this $120 sexy offering, maybe, but one thing’s for sure, I’ve been thankful for your audio channel for some time now. Made for mortals who think maybe there are a lot of right answers, rather than of a lot of wrong ones.

If anything the Chifi stuff has done is put notice to the big overpriced brands is that you better start offering your stuff with zero oversight. Everything needs to be on point. Go have a look around Linsoul for cables, they usually have good ones. Triptowin nucool is great at $50 and the Euphrosyne (review on this channel) are bangers for the money :)

I am not a cable expert, but understand some of the basic physical background (not in full depth, of course). So I have purchased some nice, but affordable cables from Aliexpress. They are on 2,5 mm jack, so that I can run them balanced from my Qudelix 5K. I haven't got any higher grade IEM, have a Tinhifi T2, an Urbanfun and recently got myself a Tripowin Mele. I might go for a 7Hz Timeless around Christmas, the reviews are promising. That set might deserve a nicer cable, so I will consider this one, as well.

For that money..I expect a nice cable, interchangeability at BOTH ENDS! Keep one end at 2.5 Balanced..and have adapters to go 3.5 single ended , 4.4 Balanced and old school 6.4. At the IEM’s end an adapter that gives MMCX and an Open .78 and oversized closed .78 ..also 3.5mm for most headphones that’ll take them.

I own them, but I can't say I share the same enthusiasm. They're so bloody heavy it's like being shackled down to my desk. The metal splitter and slider are are so dense I feel like it's going to pull the IEM out of my ear as it swings back and forth when I head bang. What's more, the weight hurts my ears after an hour or so. The euphrosyne is good though. It has the same premium feel and, while heavy, doesn't have the same drawbacks as the nymph.
@AudioLevels

Whats the drawbacks on the nymph vs the euphrosyne? More pliable, less resistant to tangles, better materials. Theres less than 1g difference in weight between the Euphrosyne and Nymph and that's probably down to one being 2.5 and the other 3.5... virtually negligible..... only thing I can think of that's better on the Euphrosyne is the value for money perspective.

Have you done the major cable comparison yet? I’ve checked back thru your older videos as well and haven’t had any success locating it. I’m guessing perhaps tho that you just have been completely loaded down with tons of other videos and reviews etc. But that said, I have the Euphrosyne and love it and had been thinking about the nymph for a while and then caught this video a couple weeks ago. I’ll prob end up purchasing it to try as well. Thanks for all the awesome content bud!

@AudioLevels
Жыл бұрын
Braid is a little tighter on the jelly, nymph flows better. Graphene will make it a bit more durable (in theory) on the Nymph. Jelly uses a combination of silver and copper. The price is 3 times higher on the Nymph performance (movement/microphonics), and looks are probably not worth 3 times the price. In my opinion, the nymph is better to use and looks better. Both will sound precisely the same if the impedance is the same. Oh, and the copper may oxidize over time unless they are using oxygen free.

cables manufacturer should make modular jacks from now, one cable quality should came the same with the jack and the pin, if one has lower grade quality then there's no use of other material in the whole cable. once i used a cheap adapter and the one from sony iems, man i surely notice the difference just in 5 second of music start.
