Hi all,

Need some advice on cable matters - have got a Linum SuperBax cable with some insulation fraying (see attached photo). Fairly surprised as the cable is rarely used and was touted to be quite sturdy.

Not sure what are the repair options available? Wire strands are intact.

A stop-gap solution is to use a glue lined heatshrink over the affected area.

However, what I can say is that once the insulation has become brittle and breaks, the cable is pretty much gone case.

Thanks. So far the insulation break is limited to only a small section of the cable (still not sure why). Will try the glue heat shrink. Meanwhile, what are the solutions to seal the ends of the glued heatshrink, to prevent moisture from entering?

You do not need to seal the ends of glue lined heatshrinks as they contain hot glue on the inside. The glue itself will do the sealing.

Also your cable is litz (enamel coated wires), hence, it is very resistant to oxidation.

Noted, thanks for the info!

Hi
Im new to iem
I just tried my friends 846 and i love the sound from it
Bass particularly is punchy but not boomy
The mid is quite thick as i like it
The only complaint i have is the treeble a little bit lacking for my preference.

but the main thing is that i never considered an iem because i never feel comfortable with those rubber/silicone/foam tips sticking inside my ear
I’m very prone to stereophonic.

anyway im really interested to get an iem
My budget is around $1000

like i told you i like the sound signature of the 846
But i welcome a bit more detail treeble.

i think i’m gonna get a custom iem
To eliminate the “stuffy” ear feeling and stereophonic.

can anyone suggest which custom iem that has similar signature as the 846 ? Especially in the low and mid ?

thank you so much

you want a custom version of a better performing customs than a 1000+ universal at a cheaper price
