Can anyone recommend a 2IS cable they have purchased?
I haven't tried it myself but I hear the audioquest vodka knockoff is pretty good, someone mentioned it sounded better than the real AQ carbon hdmi.

Don't try this at home

... or anywhere. This was my Monday night project, fully 'clothing' one of my Odin Gold AC cables with copper foil. Turns out the sound just became brighter (more treble and reduced bass amount), although perhaps the fidelity and sense of realism may have been a touch better. I spent at least 2 hours on Tuesday removing it. Painstaking process of removing bit by bit, with finger cuts a scrapes, and a lot of copper bit residue all over to clean up, and with fragments and stickyness permanently left on the cable.

My partial covering of about 75% as formerly shown on another Odin Gold cable still may be good - with that one going to my power conditioner I did hear an improvement, but this with full coverage going into my DDC, it just wasn't happening. Overall I don't recommend this procedure because although it technically is reversible, the copper foil tape seems to solidify within a couple hours making it very difficult to properly remove if needed, leaving residue behind on the wire. I may still recommend this concept IF you find a way to apply it solidly with some sort of film between it and cable, as to allow for easier removal. On the other mostly covered cable I'm just leaving it on because it sounds top notch, and I will have to accept the ruined appearance.
