They are not the same cable, but yeah, always pick what appeals to you more!
Cables are all about comfort and A E S T E T H I C S.

sounds good. Its a Xinhs cable so I figure comfort is already top tier but wanted to check if the copper one was an outlier in that regard

Iām just a sucker for either the all copper look or the all black look with some sort of accent - it just does something to me

I was too slow. Way before me, someone rich enough bought out all the #001. Keep in mind this was way before TGX would imagine all this Tidal wave. All the guy needed was to hear Serratus.

And this is why shorter reviews (this aināt a review but u get the point) are better.

Obviously, a fantastic article my friend - articulate and entertaining without rambling on for too long and causing readerās fatigue which, may or may not be a thing but I certainly experience it with some other articles but not with yours. Nicely done, personal rank S+ - personal rank with Bias - S+.
With that out of that way, I have to ask - are Jimās bud lineups just going to be legendary? Iāve come to realize that after 4 sets, the man has not miss. I fear that after he seizes production, 2nd hand market prices will be too much for me to justify but I hope not.

Thatās why I pre-ordered the Ripples, honestly. It sounds like itās only a matter of time before his stuff takes off. The prices he sets for the (from what Iām gathering) SQ are practically unheard of in this hobby.

Exactly my point. Nymz compared the dynamics on the Ripples to the U12t towards the end of the article ā¦ thatās a set that retails for $2k. That is literally unheard of. Since he also compared the TGX bud releases to Supreme, I also expect the 2nd hand market to almost mirror that of a supreme release lol (not to that extent but you get what Iām trying to say).

Considering theyāre not even made any more, Iāve always been surprised that used OG Dark Magicians have hovered from $450-$500. Not even reaching the original price.
Sorry if thatās a sidestep, just talking about TOTL tunings at good prices, with the potential of short supply, that came to mind.

I think the difference there is that while the OG DM is a cult classic it is still a single DD and has some negatives. It seems like Jim is at the top of the earbud game!
Once some funds free up I think Im going to pull the trigger on the Serratus since that is his most bass emphasized bud. Does anyone know if he will do custom cable dimensions? I saw some very custom Serratusā out but I know the man is busy

Well, since I am not technical, I decided to purchase the GoBlu precisely because it didnāt have any app. As a geezer (I canāt help being old), I suppose Iām still trying to be as analog as possible, though I only listen using DAPs, IEMs, and hirez streaming digital music these days (Apple Music). I do really enjoy the music stillā¦ that hasnāt changed!

Nice writeup!
You almost got my shilled into buying this especially since you say the code works for Ripples as well, despite not having best relations with MX500 shells (and money 59 be fair) at the moment. Luckily you mentioned very fair point on the cable hanging down on the bud, so I am sure those would not work well for me.
