A copper cable. Going to order a silver one for Jewel . He has two Jewel cables, but recommended the silver one for me. Right now I am listening to Jewel and Venom on my breakin rig.
It has lost its brightness and is just the best sounding IEM in my collection. I should listened to you and bought it sooner. Listening to James Blake.
How many hours of breakin is good for Jewel and Thunder?
Sure, I've had a some folks PM so I will paste my response here:

I just purchased any opamps I found interesting or ones that were recommended. I loved the sound of Sparkos the most (https://sparkoslabs.com/product/dual-discrete-op-amp-ss3602/), however unless you are ok leaving the amp with the lid off, it's a no go. They are simply too large.
The current arrangement is my favorite configuration. The input stage stage is OP1612 mounted with DIP8 adapter. The output stage is OPA2132P ordered from Mouser. The OPA2132P was recommended by a friend of mine in the hobby.

I'm not sure there's much a 3D printer could do for this one.
Please meet my "FrankenAmp"...
The large orange op-amps are Burson V6 Classic and the red ones in the image below are V6 Vivid. The risers are needed as they are still too big to fit using the smaller risers due to the casing. I also tried OPA1612 op-amps along with Burr Brown OPA2134PA in the output stage.
I quite like the stock op-amps so I am only changing them out of interest to see how it changes the sound.
The V6 Vivid are a bit intense for my liking. Kind of like turning everything up to 11.
The OPA1612 are quite similar to stock but vocals are a little thiner but come across more detailed.
The V6 Classic are superb. Improvements across the board without going as far as the V6 Vivid. Larger soundstage, more sub bass rumble with a smooth and detailed mid range.
It may look a little cumbersome/ crazy but it litterly only takes seconds to change them out back to ones that fit with the lid on if you want to go mobile. I'll give them all some hours to burn in and see how they develop.
Who ever did more than 07:50 hours listening in one session
The Jewel got me so far ...
Still have 25% left on my N8ii so a few hours to go
Yes day off tomorrow ...
Liquid Links Venom definitely is a game changer with the Jewel

Enjoying this: Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky on Qobuz ...
A great mix between the good old Marvin Gaye sound and a young Zucchero if you ask me ...
