New Audeze EL-8 Cable
 
The new Audeze EL-8 cable arrived today. I ordered the cable from Charleston Cable Company (C3).... I ordered their basic cable, which starts at $100.

It is obvious that C3 used the Audeze original connectors. I directly compared them to my factory cable and the connector is identical. The cable itself is considerably heftier, thicker. It appears to be a very nicely made cable, very similar to the cable that came with the McIntosh headphones.

I have only listened to a few songs so far, but at first note it was obviously that this is a good cable. Even though I got a substantially longer cable it actually sounds better than the original Audeze cable. This is a huge improvement for the EL-8 headphones, and highly recommended.

C3 offer two higher level cables depending on how critical you are I suppose. The highest one makes no sense to me since it would cost almost as much as the headphones. The service from the company was outstanding. I called Chris on Sunday and he shipped the cable out Monday. It arrived from the East coast to California in three days, with their standard shipping rate!

Ivan, thank you and very happy. I got to say, these guys do a great job on EL-8 cables.

Congrats Randy!

Thank you.

I know there are a lot of EL-8 owners out there. The only real complaint I have read is that people are not happy with the cable that is include from Audeze (and I concur). I would highly encourage any EL-8 owner to look into one of these replacement cables. It moves the headphone to a whole other level!

I can second the positive opinion of this company's products and speedy delivery. On top of that, their shipping charges are low, too: $5.00 for priority mail!

Randy Myers 12-16-2015 11:43 PM

And their products are very good.... and they were the only ones that I found making the Audeze EL-8 cable! Really fast shipping for cheap!
