Still waiting for mine as well.

  well, for a quite new product, it seems relatively "cold" in here

Yeah, the first folks to really get these IEM's were from Massdop, which was limited to ~25 or so. Number of folks on there as well as this list is a subset of that, so I assume most everyone represented both places has spoken their mind! I'm hoping as more people buy these we'll get some more feedback.
 
The Silver Dragons are being upgraded according to Drew, and won't ship for another 2 weeks, so I don't have much more to say.  I ran mine on an old iPod overnight twice, just to ensure there is plenty of break in, and will give them another try shortly. 
 
Really looking forward to seeing what a pure silver cable does for them.  My expectation is "thinner, more extended on the top, less body, but slightly more refined".  We'll see how my expectations stack up against reality

Well, based on your list of other IEM's, I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing what you think.  I assume you did NOT get these via Massdrop, otherwise you should have had them weeks ago.  Did you get them from the CL website, or retail location?

Massdrop- but international shipping
 
What connectors do these use? I have silver for both 2 pin and mmcx.

I'm told it's called a 92 pin - the first one on this list.  Pretty common, 1964, JH, UE, Weston, etc...

Cool. Have a couple of silver cables to try for that..

Damn! I've already had my first pair from massdrop and received my replacements (physical defect) though I am in the US.

As for the iems, they are more heavy on the bass than I was expecting. I don't feel like it's too heavy at all. Mids are perfect for me, and the highs are just barely too low for me. Hoping to see other's take with different cables and find one that brightens them up a little. Very happy with my purchase though.

  OK, great input!  I will "roll" tips to see what I hear.  Also, Drew at Moon Audio recommended trying this:

I hate to throw good money after bad, but I *really* want these CL's to work for me. I will definitely give ups some bottom end extension for "air"...
 
Can anyone confirm the CL's cable pins are to some sort of standard?  (sorry, quite new to all this)

I have ordered some parts to build some new cables. I bought these and can confirm that they fit. http://www.doublehelixcables.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=173

The 0.78mm refers to the diameter of the pin, so I 0.75mm pin would fit but the contact might not be good, or be more likely to come out.

No tracking number or anything so this is a wild guess, but it's lunar new year here this week so I'm thinking earliest next week. Hopefully no physical defects with my pair! Do you go to massdrop for issues like that, or send back to cl?

  Been rockin the C6 for several days now and will confirm they are sensitive to cables. I don't like the feel of the stock cable and had an Heir stock cable [not magnus] the Heirs not only have a better feel but also did open them up a little. What has done the most sonically has been the DigaZoid FS I have turned the bass down to 15 and increased the treble to 25 that along with the cable has increased the detail. I am comparing the C6 with the Noble 5 which is Noble's bass heavy iem and in my humble opinion if it is detail you are looking for the C6 is going to disappoint but if it is a very well done bass slam the C6 is fantastic. Noble 5 does not hit as low but it does very well plus it delivers twice the detail probably because of the 5 drivers. The retail on the C6 is only $50 less than the Noble 5 so I felt it should be considered a fair comparison . This week on my commute I will alternate daily and see if it's possible to pick a favorite. Both iem's were purchased thru Mass Drop if it wasn't for that Id still be rockin my Atrio's so thank you Mass Drop :}

I hope so too! I went through massdrop, but I got the only extra pair they had. I'd suggest going through CL because massdrop will only offer to refund you.

Spoke too soon. They're here!
