Thanks Nick!  I looked at the Labkables and (gulp!) decided to splurge and get the Pandoras.  They arrived today, and first impressions are oh my, these do give nice clean, crisp separation.

  Thanks Nick, actually I tend to turn the bass down a bit, so I think I'd be more interested in the clear and airy sound.  What would your recommend to go with the Laylas?   Thanks!

Hey guys, great information in this thread!  I have a set of JH Laylas and am looking for some replacement 2.5 mm balanced cables.  I mostly listen to rock and can go up to around $1000 or so, any recommendations to pair with those IEMs? Thanks.
