I'd have to say, you're pretty sensitive to the highs there, all right. Don't think anyone has found the HE-1000 bright or sibilant (not so for the HE-560, which I did find that way initially, but either improved with burn in or brain burn in over time). Maybe the benefit of getting older and losing those high frequencies...

I agree... He is overly sensitive.
 
BobFiggins, you should actually have your hearing tested officially. If you can hear 20k or even higher...well... you're a mutant j/k
 
But the HE1000 was far from sibilant. I would love to have heard the Zoetic with the HE1000 as I know that particular cable has the best synergy with the HE1000's of all cables. I tried it with the Norne Solv and had no sense of sibilance whatsoever.
 
I'm most interested to find out your actual sensitivity to frequency tests.

test it, please... link above.
 
I can only hear up to 16,500hz, and the range is generally 20hz-20khz...but from what I understand there is a small amount of humans over 24 years old can hear frequencies above 16Khz.

At work so I can't go to the link yet.
 
I also tried the HE1000 at the headamp station with some red amp/dac stack. I don't know what it is called. The HE1000 had no noticeable treble issues with me. In fact, that was the best listening experience with headphones I have ever had. I'm guessing that combo is expensive.

Yup!

15,950.
 
When it hit around 10,000 and 7,500, those were the most painful parts. I listened up around 16-10,000 a few times, and it was painful, but tolerable. Soon as I hit 10,000 and 7,500 my ears started to ring even after I stopped the test. As I write this they are still ringing.

I'm arguing with a friend that the Draug V2 is still 100% pure copper. Am I right? 
 
My friend thinks that silver has been added to the mix in some shape or form.

As far as I know, it always has been and continues to be copper only.

Yup!

Any new iem cable incoming?
Cause the solv series iem cable is not showing up

 

[Richsvt]

Trevor gave me a hint that it may be called Marauder? All silver...I just ordered a Vorpal. May consider that one once he releases some specs.
Hope I'm not letting the cat out of the bag...

Cause the solv series iem cable is not showing up:rolleyes:

I tested the new silver iem cable last Saturday! It truly is something special! it's an end game cable for IEM's!
I have one on order now since the one I had was sold at the show I auditioned them at!

It is 100% copper equiv. of 4x21awg, always has been pure copper. 
The silver part was probably me having mentioned something some time back about experimenting with
making one with half pure silver and half pure copper (which I have done recently purely to test out). 
 
Regardless there would always be a pure copper D2. 
The other, if its offered, would be limited release of some sort. 
 
 

  Any new iem cable incoming?
Cause the solv series iem cable is not showing up

 
The new pure silver ciem / iem replacement cable will be listed in the coming couple of days. 
The Solv should also make a return for iem when the next batch of wire is in stock. 
Was running lower on stock so pulled it for a couple of products until its replenished.

Just got the Norne 2.5mm TRRS to 3.5mm TRS and also the Norne 2.5mm TRRS to 4-pin XLR adapters. They're great! 
 
This way I can use my Noble K-10's with the 2.5mm TRRS cable with my CDM as well as with my Pulse X Infinity desktop DAC/amp and my SE portable equipment all without having to change the cable on my Noble's and risking the connector by swapping cables all the time. 
 
Good stuff Trevor! 
 
Cheers

I've been off the grid for a while, shout out to Trevor! 

 

[porridgecup]

Does anyone have any suggestions on which cable termination to choose?
 
Headphones: HD800
Amp: Bryston BHA-1
 
I just need 4 pin XLR for the balanced output on the amp.
 
I see there are a lot of options, like "Eidolic 4-pin XLR TeCu pin", "Neutrik gold", "Neutrik silver", "Valab silver". Eidolic is listed as recommended. Should I just go with that?

 

[doctorjazz]

I have no clue, but I'd suggest calling or emailing Trevor...he's really nice to speak to, and I'm sure would be helpful in this (these choices stopped me from ordering for a while, couldn't work my way through them, had no idea what would work for me. I now own, and am enjoying, the Zoetic for my HE-1000).
