 and my tf10 venoms arrived! I hope to do a proper review in a week or so if I can find the time after at least 100 hours listening but first impressions are great. The cable is light, I can't find a single flaw anywhere and it looks amazing. Initial listening impressions after around an hour so far are good but still needs a burn-in. An important thing for me was that the sound sig of the tf10s was kept roughly the same with slightly more oomph (yh, using the technical terms) and the venom has done this exceptionally well. The mids are much clearer and a little bit more forward without losing the fun sound I love so much about them. The treble seems to me to be slightly less sparkly but more detailed but the biggest improvement to my ears is the bass and transition to low mids. I found myself frustrated at times by how with bass heavy tracks the bass would bleed into the sub mids but that is gone. Also the detail and clarity of the bass has improved dramatically without becoming more or less powerful. Its just much clearer. However these are just initial impressions and I'll hopefully write again after more listening and a good burn in but so far they are looking good and sounding even better.

I think you mean Viper :) thanks for posting your thoughts.

I have a new 6ft 24AWG Scorpion TF10 cable with black connectors, if anyone is interested, usually £100 for 4ft, £50 for this cable. I can cut it shorter for you.
 
Currently has no jack on it, so can terminate with plug of your choice.

Received my Silver Widow IEM Cable.
 
My Miracles cant stop singing, its given them  I believe a tighter beefier bottom end and those who think the Miracle has no bass.....Well ....
And Man,  the the detail these things are producing....I gave them a few hours of burn in, as when I first tried it was bass monster.....Now fully opened up with the sound I was describing earlier.
I have tried i don't know....around 7 different cables since Ive had the Miracle,
sure she's had flings with one or two
But now she's in love...........................
Thanks Frank, this is easily the best cable I have ever bought.
The workmanship is Tip Top......You Rock Dude......

I like the DM+ very much. I used the HP amp for several months before I made the jump the the CSP2+. The Wolfson Chips are very smooth and as a stand alone HP amp it is sold for the price. It is interesting to see how many people have the DM+ with strong systems considering the cost is very reasonable. You would need to drop a lot more money to really move up IMHO....

I have to say Im a bit of a CA fanboy. 
The Wolfson chips do indeed sound very smooth, A nice warmth but still very clean and detailed 
Yet not too bright.....
 
If you know what I mean?? lol.
