I quickly realized that the stock cable was crap. What I purchased was a 4.4mm cable from SYRNARN called the OCC over 11.11 in 2021. It’s an 8 core gold plated copper cable. It sounds tremendous! One thing that you must try if you can is running the Timeless balanced. The extra power and current that balanced provides take any planar to the next level!

Hey just saw this review. Typically what Ive been hearing is that for high quality cables and reduce noise, silver is typically better than copper. For example, with theater things from audio quest, the high end cables are silver. Your review was pretty interesting, in hearing that copper was better, which is against everything ive ever heard. Which did peak my interest to try other cable honestly. Some people are saying a cable wont even change anything for the average listener, not an audiophile. Would you say that the cable upgrade is necessary for a normal listener?
@vpconcepts9838 Жыл бұрын
Hello Frank! I apologize, I did not say copper was better than silver here. I was stating that "silver plating over copper is not a sound I like" I do have solid silver for my digital coax cables, & a solid silver/copper hybrid in my Axios headphone cable. For my analog cables such as interconnects and speaker cables on my larger systems I do prefer all copper because of the way it adds warmth & images. But that's a personal preference. I do not go with anything that says "silver plated" however. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨

Is there any way you could prove that silver cables objectively make a difference?

@JoshFisher5672 жыл бұрын
Silver has much more conductive properties and interacts with impedance* differently. Most times when people compare a copper to silver conductor cable, their ears immediately pick up that the silver seems audibly brighter while copper is warmer. That's why a lot are either a mixture of silver and copper or silver plated copper. Honestly it comes down to your personal sound preference and is subjective. I have the ThieAudio Oceanic, which are pladdium coated silver cables and I love them but that doesn't automatically mean you would. Quality of metal also matters. Anyone can say 99.999 "fill in the blank"percent X metal but I've seen videos where they bring cheap cables to jewelry stores to test and the purity of the metal and it's not close to 99.999%
@onlywiseman2 жыл бұрын
Heh. Commenting again. Got the altea wire today. Compared to the stock one there's no major difference. But I hear less hissing noise. 40 bucks.. not cheap but I hear no hissing.. :)) By the way. I don't hear the difference in hissing when compared between 40 bucks altea (4.4mm for amp) and 20 bucks Zonie (3.5mm for Iphone). Thanks!!!!
@vpconcepts98382 жыл бұрын
It wasn't the hissing for me. The stock cable had to much sibilance in the voices & in the highs. Also the stock cable was to closed in, the Altea opened up the sound stage and warmed everything up. I hope you aren't evaluating the Altea fresh out of the box? It needs about 75-200hrs before I could do any serious listening at all with it (damn burn in!). I'm using it with the dragonfly cobalt running Tidal. I hope it gets even better for you! 👌🎼💯💥

@armandosoto92442 жыл бұрын
Hi, great review!! Looks like what is special about the Altea is the fact that is copper only (non silver-plated) compared to the stock one and most after market options. Do you think that is what makes the difference? and if so, will any other (cheaper) good quality "copper only" cable do the trick?
@vpconcepts98382 жыл бұрын
Yes, the copper and not silver plating did the trick. I'm actually working with a company on a high end cable for it now. The Altea is as cheap as I would go. Thanks for watching Armando! 👌🎼✨

I have had a really odd issue specific to the Monarch MKII's. With my iBasso DX320 with the Monarchs stock cable, which is 20.bucks on linsoul and while "expensive" cable doesn't mean better and cheaper doesn't mean trash, I ordered the Thieaudio Oceanic and for some reason it made the Monarchs louder, noticeably louder which was odd. At most, a cable should slightly change the sound signature. It also has an amazing sound signature but the volume level confuses me. My best guess is impedence on the stock cable. silver has much more conductive properties and interacts with impedance* differently. Most times when people compare a copper to silver conductor cable, their ears immediately pick up that the silver seems audibly brighter. That's why a lot are mixed or just silver coated/plated copper as copper has a warmer sound. The actual quality of the metal is also a factor.

Maybe im deaf but i dont think Timeless and HD600 sound very much alike. Certainly would never confuse one for the other. Then again, i would never think to wear a headphone over an iem so maybe im just missing the boat on this whole audiophile thing. Or, maybe its the cables that make timeless sound like the hd600. Or, maybe its just a phenomena that occurs in the pacific northwest. ...

I'm waiting for mine, I see is still a good value... and happy to discover your channel and your tips here... my question is about cables (I'm a bit newbie). Tripowin Altea is 4 core Litz OCC (26AWG) Hakugei Kuro is 2 core Litz OCC (24AWG) Despite Altea has the double of cores, at the end the total thick of the cables are similar right? 26 vs 24... or this AWG measurement is not about the total thickness but each single core? THX!!
@vpconcepts98382 жыл бұрын
Gauge is total. So a 2 core can be thicker gauge than 4 core. I find a thicker gauge to offer a fuller bass. But build quality & type of copper, silver etc...matter as well. Thanks for watching Jairo! 👌🎼✨
