Details
Part of the all new HYBRID series.
This is a new direction in cable performance. EACH CONDUCTOR has 26awg TWag v2 Eclipse Silver and 26awg TWcu 26 Copper. This means that this cable is now 8 conductor balanced! Instead of plated the copper with silver, we have now equal copper and silver coming together. The marriage is stunning. Any characteristics that silver and copper is now combine to make one full, rich, luxurious, detailed sound that has never been heard before. I guess I can have my cake and eat it too!!
NEW and improved TWag v2. The latest design from CroParts. This wire is cryo'd using CryiParts CryoFreeze process. To learn more about this process, log onto to CryoParts website at http://www.cryo-parts.com/index.php/why-cryo.

Here are CryoParts comments on the new v2 wire:
"In order to improve on the exceedingly well received TWag, I looked at things in a different way than I usually do when designing a cable. TWag has been a great success, and has quickly become recognized as the premier wire for headphones and IEM's, so I wanted to keep the "soul" (or gestalt) of the wire intact, but try and improve on a few areas.
So, about eight months ago, I started tweaking the original TWag to see how much more performance could be eked out of the same basic design as the original. My goal was to improve on an already top tier wire, and make the best wire I currently know how to make.
Through countless hours of design time, many failed prototypes, and a great deal of money, I was able to accomplish my above goal. This was a long and drawn out process, marked by frustration, learning, and ultimately pushing my wire vendor/partner to the limits of their machinery. I found that by making changes to the insulation composition/formula, the way the insulation is extruded on to the wire, and to the process which extrusion takes place made a good wire even better. In order to push it to the limits, I also refined strand count, strand shape, and how the individual strands are laid together. In addition to the manufacturing changes, I developed a new cryo treatment profile that allows the changes made to really shine through.
The Wire; Silver". "The Wire; Silver", or "TWag" is a CFDCT-UP-OCC stranded silver wire that sets a new standard of performance.Everything about "TWag" is custom; the extraordinarily high strand count, the custom formulated LL-PE dielectric, the silver used (CF-DCT-UPOCC) and the cryo profile used to treat it (our proprietary CryoFreeze™ process). TWag is a true bespoke wire and is only available direct from CryoParts and the only authorized OEM at this time, Whiplash Audio. The base metal used is an unidirectional UPOCC, being almost free from impurity (up to 99.99998% pure silver) has ideal electrical resistance properties and practically no crystal boundaries. Accordingly, it is able to transmit electrical signals faster, and with less distortion than ordinary OFC and silver wires. All of these features make the pure OCC silver the state-of-the art conductor materials for the audiophile cable industry.
TWag flexibility, premier performance and a complete sound reproduction makes this a perfect application uses for connecting your source to your ears. This is one of the best wires made today.
TWcu 26
The Wire; copper". "The Wire; Copper", or "TWcu" is a CFDCT-UP-OCC stranded copper wire that sets a new standard of performance. The "26" is the gauge size. Perfectly designed for flexible and performance.
TWcu has flexibility, performance, and also has great looks! When you match up the elegant looks of the eclipse, the result is spectacular. The sound is even more breathtaking
Beyerdynamic T1 Information:
The completely redesigned transducers achieve values of over one Tesla (a unit of measurement for magnetic flux density). That provides the listener with almost double as much volume as traditional headphones.
.
The increased efficiency also leaves the T 1 with greater power reserves for dynamic, undistorted sound and nearly lossless conversion of electric signals into sound waves. The extremely lightweight 600 Ohm voice coil provides transparency and perfect impulse fidelity.
The elegant look of the T 1 compliments the technical achievements, with even the smallest of details selected by hand. This model reaffirms beyerdynamic's commitment to world-class "Made in Germany" quality.
Get the most out of your headphones: enjoy the T 1 together with the A 1 headphone amplifier as the dream team for audiophiles.
Product reviews:
"With this headphone you can hear a lot of things you may have never heard before, such as footsteps, raindrops, and even whispering." "Man oh man these cans can reach deep into the music. They are so transparent that you can hear nearly everything that's there." (head-fi.org, 10/2010)
"Very highly recommended and a true Five star performer." (head-fi.org, 07/2010)
"Detail and imaging are top notch, as well as musicality." (headfonia.com, 07/2010)
"Beyerdynamic T 1: Mercedes-Benz of headphones" (CNET News, 06/2010)
"All-in-all, the T 1 is a world class headphone. Beyerdynamic has outdone themselves, and I’m completely blown away." (headphone.com, 02/2010
"Design, comfort and audio presentation are unparalleled." (AVguide, Playback, 01/2010)
Specifications.
technical data
-Transmission type - Wired
-Headphone design (operating principle) - Semi-open
-Headphone impedance - 600 ohms Also known as nominal impedance. The impedance is the AC resistance of the coils of loudspeakers and headphones in ohms. Since impedance depends on the frequency, it is always specified at a frequency of one kilohertz.
Headphone frequency response - 5 - 50,000 Hz The frequency response specifies the highest and lowest frequencies reproduced by the acoustic transducer of the headphones.
Nominal sound pressure level - 102 dB
The (nominal) sound pressure level is the pressure in pascals (Pa) with which the air and the eardrum are caused to vibrate, better known as the volume. The sound pressure level is therefore a measure of the volume of a set of headphones under standardized conditions. However, it says nothing about whether the distortion is low and the sound is good at such a high volume.
Construction - Circumaural (around the ear)
Sound coupling to the ear. A differentiation is made between supraaural headphones, circumaural headphones and in-ear headphones.
Cable & plug - Straight connecting cable with ¼“ stereo jack plug (6.35 mm)
Net weight without packaging - 350 g
