Difference between twag V2 OM and NON-OM?

For the benefit of the rest of the rest of the world, the OP appears to be referring to the Whiplash Audio custom cables.

From the Whiplash Audio website:

The Wire; Silver". "The Wire; Silver", or "TWag" is a CFDCT-UP-OCC stranded silver wire that sets a new standard of performance.Everything about "TWag" is custom; the extraordinarily high strand count, the custom formulated LL-PE dielectric, the silver used (CF-DCT-UPOCC) and the cryo profile used to treat it (our proprietary CryoFreeze™ process). TWag is a true bespoke wire and is only available direct from CryoParts and the only authorized OEM at this time, Whiplash Audio. The base metal used is an unidirectional UPOCC, being almost free from impurity (up to 99.99998% pure silver) has ideal electrical resistance properties and practically no crystal boundaries. Accordingly, it is able to transmit electrical signals faster, and with less distortion than ordinary OFC and silver wires. All of these features make the pure OCC silver the state-of-the art conductor materials for the audiophile cable industry.


And

The "OM" stands for over mold. A process where the wire is solder to the pins and a plastic over mold is applied. This is the same process that the stock cable uses. This allows for a perfect connection to pins which than connects to your in ear monitors.



I'm disappointed - I was hoping "OM" was some sort of elvish acronym that meant the cables had been pooped out of a unicorn's @ss.
