For anybody interested in some expensive cables, I have put my Rhapsodio Wizard OCC 8-braid and DHC Silver Litz 8-braid up for sale at a little over half price since I need to fund some new purchases (as usual).

He wasn't joking when he said expensive cables :/

Does anyone have any experiences about Whiplash TWcu copper 8 braid?

@flinkenick By the way thank you for this great thread.

Great cable, just a bit on a thicker and heavier side which you should expect from 8 copper conductors.  The only thing I would recommend is getting it with a straight instead of OM-angled 2pin connector - it will give you more clearance if you have larger ears.  If you are interested how it sounds, there is no fixed formula since the same cable will pair up differently with various iems/ciems and sources.  Also, a good idea to get is 2.5mm trrs balanced terminated with 3.5mm trs adapter.  This way you will be covered for both HO ports.

Hey guys, great information in this thread!  I have a set of JH Laylas and am looking for some replacement 2.5 mm balanced cables.  I mostly listen to rock and can go up to around $1000 or so, any recommendations to pair with those IEMs? Thanks.

That's a nice budget man. What kind of signature are you looking for? For rock I personally like the Rhapsodio 2.98 8-braid silver/gold, it's about $575. Unless you're looking for a really clear and airy sound. The 2.98 is more about bass, full sound and resolving (lower) mids.

Thanks Nick, actually I tend to turn the bass down a bit, so I think I'd be more interested in the clear and airy sound.  What would your recommend to go with the Laylas?
 
Thanks!

Well to be honest I only very briefly heard the Layla, so I can't say a whole lot about it. But at the moment I really like the Labkable Samurai III. It has a clean sound with a very nice lift in the upper mids/lower treble, pairs excellently with slightly midforward iems. Bit pricey though at $875..
