Anybody heard from Peter in a while? He printed a shipping label 1.5 months ago and there's still no activity on the shipment. Multiple emails have gone unanswered.

God damnit why did you tell me that. Guess I’ll get another one.

I cut my OG cable in half and re-terminated as a stop gap measure until I could braid a better cable. That thing was like a vacuum cleaner cord! :)

Anybody else notice the Clone Silver cable is gone from the website? The only option is a clone fusion (copper + silver).

I got a similar message last weekend: he would update and get it out the door that weekend. That never materialized and have since had radio silence. Hence my question to you all. Le Sigh.

Anybody else still waiting on black friday orders?

Anybody get their orders yet from black friday?

Thanks for the tip about the code being backwards. Works!

Anybody having difficulty applying the black friday code to Skollvar today (Sunday)?

Anybody having trouble accessing their site at the moment?

Hey there. I'm interested in your cable. I've got a few of these in 3.5mm, but need one in 4.4mm. I have a mailbox in washington state as well, so no need to ship to Canada.

Hi there. I'm interested in your cable. :)

Hey there. I'm interested!

Do you have any tough to drive headphones? 100+ ohms?

Great feedback. Thank you. I wanted to check to see if you can pull them out of your ear from the iem body, or if you have to grab the tip material. It sounds like they've addressed that concern. I'll probably pick up a pair in black.

Has anyone ordered Advanced Sound Group Custom Ear tips for Solaris? https://www.adv-sound.com/products/eartune-fidelity-custom-fit-eartips Any feedback?

I've been on a head-fi hiatus for several weeks while aI heal from a major sinus infection. I put on some of my high end cans a few weeks ago and it was like listening through a sea shell. Disappointing, total waste of time. I switched to iphone buds because there was no point. Finally...

Yes oxidation reduces conductivity, and conductivity is the biggest contributor to quality sound reproduction. As to whether you can actually hear the difference, well, that is a lot harder to determine. Was the oxidation found just at the end of the cable, or are you noticing it everywhere...

You can also buy 5N ohno cast continuous silver from reputable manufacturers.

OCC is a casting process, not an element.

I’m not a big fan of that method, but it’s doable. You just have little guarantee of stripping all of the enamel that way. Plus it’s a bit messy.

You need to use a solder pot to melt the enamel coating on the individual wires. If you dip the end of the litz wire into the solder pot, the enamel coating will burn off the individual wires and tin the end. After this you can solder the wire to your connectors as usual.

Yes strings are for shaping the cable. That said, in high end cables the strings are also used to ensure uniformity of spacing of each twisted conductor. With consistent windings and spacings, you get better noise rejection. Doubt anyone could hear the difference though.
