Penon Storm

The Penon Storm is a very specialist and unique cable that seems to have been designed to add a very musical, analogue texture and restraint to IEMs that might feel a little too dry or over excitable (of which there are many recent examples - even at the TOTL end of the category). It’s not a one-size-fits-all cable and has a very specific, arguably niche, use case. Most other cables that share many of the Storm’s strengths aim to extend and/or increase both ends of the frequency range, including the treble, and the few I am aware of that don’t, are significantly more expensive than the Storm. In my opinion, there isn’t a cable that comes even close when paired with the Empire Ears Hero, really pulling out the very best that those specific IEMs are capable of. For that reason alone, the Storm is worth every penny to me. It is THAT special a synergy. This is definitely a cable for listeners who crave a richer, more 'analogue' type of sound.
