Yep it’s the WA22. After a few teething problems I’m loving it. Still sorting out my fav tube compliment. 1

John0001 Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Sennheiser HD800 and Burson Conductor 3X Reference here. Balanced headphone cable by Aurealis. 1
ColdsnapBry Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I've got some listening to do. First impressions are that my Aeolus is my perference and my chain probably isn't up to snuff for the Vo. But damn can I appreciate the technicalities of the Vo, really good just slightly behind the Utopia. 6
franky995 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 What system are you using? VO seem to benefit a lot from tube amps. I tried with a Bottlehead crack and they sounded fantastic.

SilverWolf Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Wife spoil't me with a surprise today... almost 4 decades of this so far......How much more bliss must I endure lol! Edited January 25, 2022 by SilverWolf 4 1
Bengineer Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Final cable build. Hanging up the boots for a while until I come to terms with having too many children. Tooooo many. A hand crampinly long 3m version. Thanks @AlurkA 5 2 1
SilverWolf Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 3m? Wow... that's a run, Very nicely done' n finished (as are all your cables I've seen...top looking gear. Last cable I made (well if I'm honest it's not made as I haven't terminated one end yet lol) drove me insane @16 way braid 2m length and I have crappy fingers that no work. There's a couple of spots where I've droped a line here 'n there...But I haven't the will power to undo it all and try again with such fine fritzy lizty (was using a small/fine gauge for the 16 strand count), who was I kidding last 8 way weave I had issues lol. As to kids, mine are all grown but they haven't all left the nest yet....I do so want that last room, nice size for indoor workshop lol. 1 1

AlurkA Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Thanks @Bengineer The photo doesn’t really do the cable justice. Lovely work. Edited January 31, 2022 by AlurkA 6 1
Bengineer Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Looks the goods. I made myself the same for the D8000. It's very good. Enjoy! Let me know how it goes after you've had a bit of time on it. 1
ColdsnapBry Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Super slick looking cable! And nice VC? 1
Bengineer Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 This one is called "Dumb & Dumber". Dumb for thinking maybe I should. Dumber for bothering to. Also don't have a mini xlr headphone here to try it, go figure. 8x22awg type 6 copper litz wires. Main cable around 9-10mm thick. Anyone with my 4wire versions, this has those going to each cup! Modified furutech mini XLR to fit the wire. Intense. 3

You should have thrown them in the bag for testing
