I recently upgraded from Neotech NEI-1002 to NEI-1001, keeping the same ETI Kryo connectors. Having moved up through a few different models of Neotech bulk wire now, each step up really does continue to give improved performance. The NEI-1001 has great tonal weight. Aside from the imaging & detail you wouldn't think it's silver at all. It's also slightly smaller in diameter and more flexible than the 1002, which was an added bonus.
Also received one of the two demagnetizer models used by Triode Wire Labs today. Not as powerful as I was expecting it to be, but it worked. It got tested out on my headphone system -- budget Neotech & Supra power cables, NEI-3001 RCAs, Inakustik Referenz USB, DIY Neotech headphone cable & a pair of 12ax7 tubes. The improvements were subtle, but nice. Better low end heft & control, reduced glare, better defined leading edges & improved separation. My headphone chain is decent but not hyper resolving, so given the improvements noticed there I'm excited to try it on the 2 channel system.
