Hows the forza cable tho? Mind a photo? Just found their website and I like that is EU (and has vat included so no customs oh yeeeah)
I do not know what that is.
It’s the DUW02 that does not come with the EST112. That one is MMCX. I could measure it but I’d have to disconnect the MMCX which I hate doing.
I have real sensitive equipment and IEMs and I have heard very minute differences between pure silver and copper cables, but not much in the way of frequency response. It has more to do with technicalities, stage, imaging and the overall perceived weight of the music. BUT THESE DIFFERENCES ARE MINISCULE!
But changing cable to alter the actual sound characteristics of the sound, NOPE!
In the end, everything matters somewhat. When you’re squeezing out those last few percentages of quality. But if you’re watching You Tube, streaming audio or listening to MP3 files, differences in cables won’t matter. If you’re worrying about your cable, make sure you’re already listening on a high end amp and a DAC in the $1000.00 and up category. Even then, you don’t have to break the back to get a good quality and good measuring cable.

This. People neglect stuff like lossless or even 320kpbs, tips, sources (not using dacs) but spend hundreds on cables 
Most of them don’t even get a seal with their tips. It’s sad.
Saw a post on reddit some weeks ago of a guy who bought a Mest OG as his first IEM, but was pluging it to his mother board and old phone with a jack to listen podcasts on youtube. If you gonna spend kilobucks, spend at least half an hour on google and grab an apple dongle or something

Precog, which everyone knows, it’s one of the best reviewers imo and my our tastes are close about some stuff. He everyday carries an U12T (2000 usd) with a 10 dollar cable and an apple dongle from his phone or DX200.
Spend the money where it matters 
(and not like me that spends money on cables for the looks 
)

daaaaaaaaamn. that’s the hybrid? gonna have to grab it one of this days thanks for the photos
It’s a hobby. Spend your money on what makes you happy. 
If pretty cables make you happy, spend away. They make me happy.

Curious thought: If I get 500usd worth of cables, my GF doesnt even blink. If I get a 50 dollar IEM she comes with the “MORE PHONES??” argument…

Probably because most sane unconnected people don’t assume it is $500 worth of cables, because why would they cost that.

Well, she still thinks my TSMR Land costed 200 or 300 bucks. I’ll just start to interchange them on the box, she won’t notice

Sounds like you’re going to have a lot of extra cables or a new girlfriend.
Once you’ve finally discovered your favourite sets, sources, synergy and loving the music…there’s always cables

I already have a lot of cables. Trying to cut down the shopping to be honest. I’m only interested in a few cheap IEMs atm, since Lands, I might go straight to MEST mk2.
Currently i’m grabbing Mele and a blon-03. I would like the Hana 2021 but Mele might make it redundant. Also have my eyes on Yanyin Aladdin for a midcentric and they are getting a lot of praise by some solid people.
GK10 is on customs, but my faith on that one is low as hell, lol.
Yep or Z1R or the Bird…simples 
Muito simples. Money is paper
For the uninitiated, this is the XINHS Graphene cable.
This video perfectly depicts just how perfectly flexible and how the cable does not have any memory or won’t stay bent in any way.

IMO 8-core cables are just too heavy. I don’t like them that much
