I agree that the stock Susvara cables are indeed disappointing in the build quality department but they do sound good - I would suggest you to try them if you haven’t done so, specially if you don’t have anything “better”. I’ve used the stock cable for the first week or before upgrading to the Norne Audio Einvaldi (silver + copper) which looks, feels and sounds better, without breaking the bank. The Silvergrade S3C is the TOTL of their lineup but it’s pure silver which I don’t really dig the sound in most my headphones, ZMF VC being the exception.
Did you ever try Silvergarde S3C with VO? I just put in my order few days ago. I’ve been using Claire Hybrid HPC cable (8 strands of cryo 7N UPOCC copper + UPOCC silver) from Forza AudioWorks and liking it so far but I want more vocal detail/texture. I’m hoping pure silver cable can get me closer to this.
I haven’t tried the Silvergrade cable, I was just saying that I don’t really dig the sound of pure silver cables on most of my headphones, the only that I like with pure silver is the VC. I had the VO for a few days and sold them after getting the VC, they’re way too similar to my ears to justify keeping both of them.
Thanks for your post. It does sound good for sure. and to me looks is not everything… But the cable gets on my way and it really annoys me.

That’s good to hear. Yeah, I ordered it specifically for VO’s chain. I’m hoping pure silver won’t change the low end too much but enhance the vocal to a degree.
Thanks!
This just showed up. Very well built adapter!
Let’s see if the HSA-1a is able to make the Susvara sing…
Woooooha @ValentineLuke! Is here! (There) LOL!
Congrats!
Pics!
w000000000000t! noice!
Just another one of those “oh, I forgot I ordered this!” moments.
Packages that come and suprise me;
- Speeding fines
- Renewal forms for professional registrations
- Overdue phone bills
Mine are Kickstarter/indie Gogo, Etsy, and most things I order randomly drunk…also Drop due to forever lead times…
I have experienced all of these.
A couple months ago I even got a single Elex earpad that I had forgotten about.
A ton of lobbyists in this forum. Went for groceries this morning and found these goodies for purchase.
Let me see if this will pair well with my 6XXs and John Coltrane.
Wonder what color scheme they sent me, Geshelli Labs told me it was a surprise?
Second package of the day
RHA T20 wireless
Is that with the 50% off sale? I ordered two of those a few months back just for the bluetooth head/neck band. Well worth it.
Can’t wait to read your impressions comparing the Susvara and the SR1a with the HSA-1a
RHA sent them to me to review. I believe they would be be $125usd with the 50% discount since they retail for 250usd.
