I’ve just started to listen to the Traillii with the Code23. I’m impressed by a few things here. The Traillii has a wide soundstage but somehow Code 23 seems to stretch it a bit further. I would also say there is a bit of increase in height too. The things I said in my short impressions still stand. There is a 3D or holographic feel to the sound and details seem magnified. It doesn’t change anything that the Traillii can do, but it’s as if the whole experience is dialled up a notch. It is a big sound, it’s full and meaty and has provides a black background. I wouldn’t call it a warm cable, even though it’s copper, but it’s not bright or harsh either. It takes the sound of your IEM and source and sort of dials it up a bit and throws it back at you. I mean that in a good way. I think I would say it demands a bit of your attention when listening, at least with this pairing that is, This may change though with different IEMs depending on whether they are warm, neutral or bright. One thing that stands out to me is the bass. I feel that this cable gives you a bit more here. Compared to stock I think there is more punch to the bass and and a deeper thud to things like drums and bass strings. I also think sub bass goes a bit deeper. Code23 is different to any other cable I have heard. It seems to want to tackle every aspect of the sound and give it back to you bigger, bolder and fuller. It’s kind of an exciting cable and one that doesn’t really seem to fit into any other category that I’m personally aware of. if you are able to get a demo then do so and see what you think.
