Just placed an order for a DHC Complement C cable for my new LCD-5. Hope Peter’s good reputation for quality cables is solid. Norne Audio didn’t have stock of the copper cables I was looking for, so I decided to give DHC a shot.
I just placed an order of a DHC Complement C15 for my LCD-5 as well. Hope I can get it in about 2 weeks as stated on the website. lol.

You don’t like the stock cable? I have the LCD-5’s as well and think the stock cable is pretty good.

I only got a 6.3mm stock cable (I didn't order LCD-5 directly from Audeze) and I haven't tried it because I always use 4-pin XLR. I am using the LCD-5 with ZMF 4K copper cable and it sounds amazing. This ZMF cable has some magic to make things smooth and clear but its 4-pin mini connectors are somewhat loose.

i have the elite19, it is damn good, and i tried the clone silver, it has more controlled, affordable and transportable. i like it.
the elite 19 on the other hand, it gives more layers and environment depth

Great! Before this C15, I also bought a Complement 4 Silver from DHC for my HD800S. The waiting time is long but this silver cable is also amazing. It improves the overall timbre of the sound. I think C15 is the upgrade of this silver cable and I am looking forward to receiving it.

Ah, got it. Mine came with the 6.3mm cable to. I contacted Audeze and they replaced it with a balanced one. Couldn’t be happier.

I’ve owned the Prion 4 from DHC. I got a silver Complement 4 on my TC’s and a Complement 3 Fusion cable on my Elites. I can say the LCD-5 sounds the best with an all copper cable. Looking forward to hearing what think of the Complement C.

Awesome! I just had the cable on my Dita Dream's die, so am thinking a Clone Fusion might be in my future but haven't decided yet.
I think it will be a really good idea. I used my Dita Dream with Clone Silver and it was a great combo for sound. In addition, this cable has good convenience.
(In general, if you are interested in a more detailed opinion, you can find my review on Clone Silver on Porta.fi)

Thanks! I appreciate hearing first-hand that it's a good combo. I'll have a read of your review.

Today I found a Verite silver cable in the drawer which I left for a moment. lol. Using LCD-5 with a silver cable, the imaging is more refined and precise. The smooth is improved to another level, more similar to electrostatic headphones, like a "bass-enhanced" 009s that I listened to on my friend's system. I really like to see what would happen with a Complement C silver DHC cable.

I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my Prion 4. I should've just had it reterminated to fit my Audeze/Elite cans. I've tried some other cables on my LCD-5's but I'm finding copper may be the best fit for their sound signature.

Depending on how your Prion4 was terminated you could have just ordered an adapter for the Audeze/Elite. I have my Prion4 terminated for the MDR-Z1R and have the 3.5mm to 4-pin Mini XLR adapter for my LCD-X.
