I had the design and commissioned it through Rustic Mountain Chic. It was initially damaged by UPS but she was able to repair it.

I thought it was hers.

Glad you could have it repaired, it’s absolutely gorgeous!

Haven’t had something like this in the house for a long time, bought used on HF to try out and see what the hype is all about. It’s also my only closed back and I could use it for work and maybe travel a bit… we’ll see.

What is the hype on this? Never heard of it before, gaming headset?

yes it’s their newest gaming headset that’s supposed to be tuned really well for music listening as well. I don’t game but I have a need once in a while for a closed back and thought this could be a nice addition (wireless and with microphones so can be used for work).

Oh that is quite interesting, especially considering it would need enough juice to drive the planar drivers!

Thanks for the context on these!


This seller in USAM is a really cool guy, gave me instruction on how to install the RCA to my system and this nice little note with the packaging. Felt a little bad knowing he probably regret selling this cable and I can see why. First moment I plug this baby into my system and I am just on cloud 9 for the past 6 hours. Sucks it’s a workday, wish I could keep going :frowning:

A place where we can comfortably talk about the benefits and joys of cables and footers. What an awesome place

and digital bits being important, freaky.

@SaberPunch I think you’ll enjoy them. I replayed a pair of Gabriel Gold Rapture XLRs, a very good cable in it’s own right, and I was impressed with the Mamushi Signatures.

I replaced the anti 6.2 cables with the Mamushi and I think the difference is very noticeable to me. The guy sold them to me inform me to wait 3 days to burn in before listening, but it already sounds more amazing than my previous cable to me.

Currently have it the Gabriel Gold RCA connected to my Mystique Evo B4B 21 to my Supratek and the Mamushi cables hook up to my headphone amps/power amps. I think they both have good synergy together since both is a hybrid if I remember correctly.

Yeah, both contain precious metals.

I have been really pleased with the TWL Passion USB cable so I ordered a set of the Spirit II XLRs from Triode Wire Labs.

It is no secret I was an early adopter of the Ferrum OOR/Hypsos as a headphone amp and that I really like it a lot. However, Holo Audio released the Bliss headphone amplifier a while back and I’ve been a bit curious so…

I was quite fortunate to have been able acquire the Bliss KTE in pristine condition from a fellow SA member, who not only kept the amp as in new condition, also saved all the OG packing and boxes as well - It truly was the best pre-owned purchase I have made and honestly the experience felt like new. Special thanks to @Rhodey

OK now on to me showing off, lol

Not only is the Bliss KTE reported as able to drive the Susvara capably, it synergizes sonically with my DAC and matches aesthetically too, so I have to give it a try, right?

probably should consider an audio rack soon…

Have fun with the good piece, great buy too.
Hope you are happy with the set.

Prion4 for Utopia. Bought this used from a friend. I’ve actually used it a couple of times in the past, once on demo with a Utopia 22 and again at Canjam Chicago. Glad to be the new owner of this cable though.

Nice! Is this replacing another aftermarket or just jumping off stock?

Replacing an aftermarket Audio Envy cable. Probably the most stiff and uncomfortable cable I’ve used but it sounded pretty nice


I like their power and interconnect cables but don’t think I’ll be buying one of their headphone cables again. It holds it shape, is stiff, and doesn’t really spin or bend like other cables. I will probably compare a bit to see how it stacks up to the Prion

I bought a Voodoo Audio 90 degree IEC adapter… had an issue where my main 20A Shunyata had to make a 90-degree turn since my rack was near the wall, and it was surprisingly transparent.

I know they are not everyone’s cup of tea but they literally saved my life over the year and continue to do so…I don’t plan on collecting a thousand records but getting the original pressings of these was every bit worth to me.
