Great impressions. Love the Leo Plus. Once you start using the new cable for a while and then switch back to 175 is when you will notice the differences more so.

I would say it's very good. I didn't notice a lot of microphonics. At least, not enough to bother me like the Alo Audio Ref8 for example. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the heads-up. I'm using a 64audio IEM and found the stock cable to be on the louder side when it comes to that - probably because it feels a bit stiff. I wonder if anybody has a direct comparison to share too, but thanks nonetheless.

Interesting on the Leo Plus, I just picked up a used 64Audio Trio off of fleabay, I wonder if this cable will bring yet more treats to the table?
May just have to order.

Well, after a couple hours with it I can definetly state that it brings a lot more treats to the table! @Dsnuts is right: the more time you use it, the more it's clear.

Better bass (it really does hit harder and deeper: I made some back and forth with the cable 175), better treble, better mids and better soundstage (it's wider and deeper... more 3D-like).

I ordered the 4-core version of 175 cause I'm packing everything in a veeery small case. I'm a fan of L-shaped termination so I asked if that's possible and the seller said yes, though I don't see any L-shaped termination being offered on their shop. I wonder if I'll end up getting a very generic termination now :? Anyone has experience with that?

Hello friends,

I am looking to pair my QDC Anole VX with a copper cable or hybrid for a more musical sound and have narrowed it down to a few. I would love to get any feedback on which you'd recommended or other recommendations up to $350. Thanks!

That is some mighty fine looking cable jewelery! Congrats on your new purchases. Feel free to toss out some impressions on the differences (if any) between them whenever you have a chance. Thanks!

Thanks to all of you guys for the review and impressions on these cables. I would not think cables could work to this extent but decided on the cheapest one(isn sc4) cuz it wouldn't break the bank if it didn't do as such and what a beautiful improvement. Thanks again fellas and keep on with the updates

Need a recommendation for a copper cable with a bit of a warmer/darker sound for my RHA CL2, some pricey cables in the thread for the CL2.
Thought I'd ask in here

Just a short initial impression of the Xiaofan Pallas II... this is a dumb cable

1. Its huge. The cable is just as thicc as the 4.4mm Jack. The y-split might as well be a toblerone bar. At first, the chin slider couldn't slide up (it does now after a bit of... persuasion). Its so thicc that they put heatshrink over the 2 pin jacks as well, cus the cable is so thicc it won't tuck inside anymore xD

2. The shielding. The other two cheaper cables I got from Xiaofan feels like what you'd expect. Supple. Flexible. Almost slippery. This, is rubbery. Its stubborn to change shape (until I took a blow dryer to it), its grippy. It confuses me.

HOWEVER...

This is the best thing I've heard. I can't analyze sound as well as most of you, however, a noob like myself instantly noticed increased soundstage and separation, and this is coming from the 175.

The heatshrinks also just happens to make the cable stiff enough to not bother the back of my ear, causing fatigue. Ironic how this hefty thing can, quite literally, carry its own weight.

The wiring is also new to me.. I dont know what to make of it. Looks like a spine O.o

So far, I love it. What at first seem to be inconveniences, ended up encouraging me to put more effort to delve into the music

Just got 175. Understand why people say it is one of the best for the buck.

Love the ISN CU4

I did a review for these. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/isn-cu4-iem-cables.24291/reviews#item-review-23470


So I got a new cable in the house from Penon called the OS849. It is a very nice quality silver plated crystal copper cable in 8 thicker cores.

This cable thus far. Retails for $129. Very impressed by this cable. As with all Penon cables the workmanship is evident. The strands are thicker than your average SPC cable, has some substance and heft to the cable. First IEM I tried it on was my IT04. Brings fullness to the sonics with an increase in bass emphasis. It is more crystal copper than silver and it shows in the sonic production. Great imaging in the mids and treble shimmer. It matches perfectly with my IT04 adding a bit of meat to the sonics. IT04 is more of a neutrally tuned Fr and with this cable adds some musicality to the sonics. Great match. Will have more to say once I get my review done.

Hello

i'm looking for a new upgrade cable for my Fearless Audio Rolands and maybe you can give me a few recommendations

I use a Gala Audio Solar Eclipse for my Noble K10 and i'm happy with the materials: https://www.zoundaholic.com/product/1592/สาย-gala-audio-solar-eclipse

But i think i want to try something new. The Penon Leo Plus sounds very interesting or maybe the ISN AG8? Or something from Xiaofan?

Thanks for you help

What aspect of the Roland you wish you had more of. Is it a bit of warmth, smoothness or do you want more in the way of stage and detail. It all depends on how you want to influence the Roland. I have no idea how the sonics are on that phone. It is an all BA earphone and I assume a lot of details.

Earphones that have a lot of imaging and detail benefit a lot from higher end copper cables. If you want even better precision, stage and clarity with a tighter bass end. A silver cable will do that for you.
