Now that I have figured out that I am happy with and keeping my new Sivga Phoenix phones, I’m gonna try one of these new Flow cables from Apos audio.
Looks pretty good. Anxious to see how it does.

Looks incredibly similar to a Hart cable

Forgot to post this one. Got D8000 Pros from someone local recently
Going to be honest, I was pretyy disapointed with these for the first few days. Good technicalities but didn’t have any love for them. Then I found the combo that made em sing and was pretty blown away. Went from “meh I still like LCD-R more” to “i realy do need a better amp for LCD-R.”
Very different style of presentation between the two cans btw

TH900’s have arrived and are every bit as fun as I anticipated! A bit too sensitive for the QS though as it’s very noisy.

I feed my D8000 Pros from a PassLabs HPA-1 driven by several dacs depending on what I am in the mood for that day…and its 11/10 sound here.
I have used the D8000 Pros on a dozen or so amps, most all are great here.
I sold all my other TOTL cans because I like these so much…,
I think they are stellar all around cans and fairly easy to drive.

I’ll bet you could cobble together some kind of 1/4”-to-3.5mm into an IEMatch then adapt it back to 1/4” …totally silly, but it would probably work! lol
I think it might be worth just sticking to solid state and let someone else with hungrier cans enjoy it.

@DuerumBen @DDT @Multibeast Ouch, It does look A LOT like a Hart. Shame on me for not checking them first, I mistakenly thought the Hart would cost more. Live and learn. 
As it turns out, I screwed up and didn’t check the connectors before I ordered it. The 2.5mm connectors on the Apos cable are stereo and the ones on the Sivgas are 2.5mm mono. I don’t think the Apos cable will even work, so I will most likely end up returning it anyway. We’ll see

Ah shoot! Can you not cancel the order? Hey gonna save yourself some monies to drop on other stuff so good news in the end right?
Most stereo connections ar the cup are bridged to mono anyways. I wouldn’t worry about it tbh

As long as they are wired the normal tip sleeve combo you don’t have to worry but some manufacturer do the left tip sleeve and right ring sleeve tick so if you have a Potentiometer check for continuity of the cables to be Shure what you’ll need

@DuerumBen @DDT @Multibeast Well I was able to intercept the order. They are gonna look and see if they do 2.5mm mono. If not we’ll just cancel and make sure I get my money back. Then I’ll go for the Hart.

I still say save the money, but also who the heck am I to tell you how to spend your money right 
?. If you are happy and enjoy it (that’s all that matters), then I am happy too. Glad you were able to intercept.

Looks awesome!
Hope they hold out better than my Periapts
LOL!! I know. I’m pretty sure it will end up being a refund situation, but if they do have the 2.5mm mono available I will go for it. It does look like a very good cable and it’s 10 feet. Those little 5 footers aren’t long enough for me. 7 feet would be the perfect size for me, but ya can’t get cables that length. Still waiting to hear back from the product people…

I thought so too! Will definitely keep the group posted as to how it does if I end up keeping it. There really isn’t a darned thing wrong with the stock cable on the Phoenix other than it’s a tad too short, at least for me.
Yeah 5’ can be short sometimes. A few of my HAC cables are custom and for one I went 6.5’, so with the interconnect it’s 7’ total. Also have a 4’ extension I can use to make it 11’ total for sitting on the couch and playing video games
