500+ Head-Fier
I think the only reason I used the GND option was due to the recommended configuration of the Mass Kobo 428. For now, I'll use the non GND cables since they've been working fine for me.
iEMatch is a sort of an impedance adapter.

LOL!! Even those sciences police won’t be able to change my mind. Technically speaking, balanced connections with inverted phases can already cancel out the voltage differences between 2 polarities. The inverted phases with twisted braiding geometry can already cancel it in a short distances. There is no reasons to use shielded version for any of these cables unless it is 50ft in length.
My decision to not use shielded cables is just because my hearings prefer the non shielded versions...
Here, I am gonna give you a properly shielded versionShielding, if properly done, is good so you don't turn your IEMs/cable into antenna picking up EMI noise, in theory, that is![]()
It depends on the configuration of the system. Prefer shielding ( Right shieldingLOL!! Even those sciences police won’t be able to change my mind.

Thanks @bluestorm1992 for pointing me out to Eletech. Just secured an order of Iliad GND 4.4 interconnect, shipped out in 2 weeks. Thanks @Eric Chong for an excellent and prompt experience. C9 deserves the best!

Nice , helps keeps the heat inside.Just saw this on twitter from a site in japan, says coming soon...

Look good, but exactly what I just thought LOL!! The heat dissipated is too much to even wrap the C9 in anything at all when C9 is at it best (Class A+ Tubes). Heat sinks is ok but nothing else . The case look good, but those vents are not going to conduct the thermal as supposed, because you will need something to conduct thermally between surfaces, not just sitting on themNice , helps keeps the heat inside.
