Hi, what is that cable you have on the Onyx if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks

[@ZPProductions]

That’s a cable from a China cable maker. If you are interested I can put a link

@@ZPProductions yes please. It looks kind of like true EA code cables. I enjoy your reviews by the way.

@@ZPProductions I appreciate that. I've found it on AE now too. Are you a cable believer? If so, how do you find it pairs with the U12T? Just purchased one,.

[@ZPProductions]

@@NetZero11 I’m of the opinion that there are differences in cables but price don’t determine sound outcome. This particular cable is more of the open sound type. It will be an improvement in sound stage for the U12T.

Wonder wich tunning of the Loki did You have. The Euro one is a little bit tone down. The Asian one seem's a little bit more sparkly. But vs for example Noble Viking Ragnar it is quite a bit tone down. The bass within Loki is more impactfull, but I think it is a little bit less than Noble Kubla Khan, in sub\mid bass, that said im allmost sure, the BC driver extends a little bit for the mids. Since the presentation of the midreange is just fuller.

[@ZPProductions]

Hmm mine should be the asian one if there's truly a tuning difference. Im guessing the Noble IEM they have either the balance one of bass cannon ones like the Onyx. I do think the BC is one of the contributor of the sound stage of Onyx that makes it sound a whole lot bigger then Loki.

[@Shozimus]

@@ZPProductions Did not listen to the Onyx yet. Will give IT a try. That said i got the Loki to accompany Viking Ragnar, but i'm in for a more bassy BC variation also. Did You had a chance to compare Kublai Khan to the Onyx?

[@ZPProductions]

@@Shozimus soon. My retailer here will likely be able to loan me noble stuff next round. I read the forum and the comparison based on description seems like onyx is a refined edition of kublia khan. Alternative if you want bass but with treble energy, FatFreq is also an alternative to try but they are always back ordered.

@@ZPProductions hard to come by for a demo unit here 😅

[@dont.stop.listening]

So basically another IEM like UM MEST Mk2

[@ZPProductions]

Not too sure how the mest sound like. Maybe I should try
