Ordered one of Matt's entry level Color Series cables about a month back for my wife's headphones and received it today. It was dispatched 5 to 6 business days after I placed the order, reason for it taking so long is how incompetent my country's post can be.
 
Either way, despite being part of his cheapest series the cable is extremely well built and looks beautiful. It's smooth, malleable and doesn't ever get in the way - everything the Hifiman stock cable for their newer headphones is not. The plug could be used to kill somebody if need be as stated in previous posts.
 
Sound signature wise the cable seems to be doing what it's meant to do, sounds like what a proper copper cable should sound like. I won't pretend to be super knowledgeable when it comes to audiophile nomenclature et al. but the bass has most definitely improved and overall the sound just sounds a bit less "intense" or fatiguing. As said I really am not expert in explaining what's changed, but I do prefer what they sound like now rather than previously.
 
As I've said in this thread Matt's extremely helpful, willing and available as well as a very enjoyable person to talk to.
 
Couple pictures of the cable.
 

 
And attached to 400S'.

Well ain't that something, I just received the Noir Hybrid for a pair of LCD-3's and the right driver blows 10 minutes before I could even try it.

The cable is deceptively light and I can't wait to actually use it. Matt was great to speak with and overall it took 4 weeks for the cable to be made and delivered here in Australia.

You seem to be remarkably calm about it all.

I can't fix them can I? No point getting in a rouse especially when I knew buying them that Audeze has a slight reputation for the LCD-3 dying,
I thought it was some rather humorous irony.

Indeed, but at least now you can send them in for a repair under warranty and get the latest driver revision. They should sound even better when you get them back.

Just ordered a Noire Mk2 for my LCD's and incoming ZMF Vibro II's.Very excited
 
Just want to know if I able to change my termination from a 1/4 Viablue to a 1/4 Furutech.

I'd personally go with the Viablue. I have a Furutech jack and it's real huge and heavy. Hence the curiosity about the Viablue :) You can probably still switch your order either way if you don't linger too long.

I think you should stay with the Viablue, it a awesome connector and they are very well made.

if Viablue has a strong influence on the sound?
