@mrspeakers what is your expectation for when the new cable can be ordered on your web site?
Later today. There will be a bit of shipping delay as the high priority is to support headphone sales as production on the cables catches up to demand.

That's great. I'll wait a couple weeks so as to not help clog your queue.

I think I know the answer but I'm not certain so I figured I would ask. What if someone just upgraded their Ether C to Ether C Flow?
Sometimes, but not always, I wish my ears were good enough to tell a difference in sound with a different cable.

It's online now. Lead time will be 6-8 weeks.
If you just upgraded to a Flow within 30 days you're eligible for a free kit.
If you can't hear the difference in cables, then you can save some money.
That said, the VIVO cable is also very ergonomic. I used one with my Walkman last night when I went walking, no cable noise. 
We made a couple of other changes. We're shortening the mobile connector cable length to 1.1m (3.5') for our 2.5, 3.5 and 4.4mm cables. This works WAY better for portable applications.
The regular 1/4 and XLR are 1.8m (6') or 3.1m (10').

Hell yeah! Received my upgraded Ether C Flow just last week and loving it.If you just upgraded to a Flow within 30 days you're eligible for a free kit.

Coincidentally I'm using the original balanced version of the Ether cable that has all of the cable noise. If I hadn't recently ordered a balanced cable from Ursine, I probably would go for the VIVO. I really like the DUMMER cable that came with my Aeon's and any cable noise improvement sounds like a win.

That's about how long I made my cable. I put the Hirose connector you use on the end and got the opposite gender and made a modular setup. Made modular ends for 2.5mm TRRS, 3.5mm TRS, 1/4" TRS and XLR and an extension cable. I don't have anything that uses 4.4mm cables but I may get a burr somewhere and make an adapter for giggles one day. I used paracord to cover the wires. It's pretty micro-phonic though. I just used mic cable that I stripped the outer insulation and shielding from. So it's far from high performance. One day maybe I'll get some expensive wire and better sheathing and build another set. I just dread trying to get those brass things crimped when I don't have the right tool.
The right tools for making cables can really improve longevity...

I agree. If I could find a set of crimpers for those little brass dohickeys, at all, but also at an affordable price, I'd buy a set. I've searched around, I think I found a pair long time ago but they were like $700. Happen to know a source?

Dan,
Could you give me an idea of how the new vivo compares to the Wywires platinum please?
I had the pleasure of trying the Ether Flows with the platinum at canjam London and was very impressed. You had another after market copper cable i belive that sounded darker and i wasnt such a fan of. I'd appreciate any comparisons you could offer.
