Need help please.

Can't make up my mind between these three cables

Prime Donna from Beat Audio.
X8 trie metal from Plus sound audio.
Heracles from EffectAudio.

I'm looking for good quality high end cable that provide neutral sound.

Thanks

Leonidas is a very nice cable with a neutral/uncolored sound, and a very nice sub-bass punch. It is also built very nicely, except for that heavy splitter which makes absolutely no sense!? 
 
At the moment I also really like the Labkable Samurai III, it is relatively neutral with a touch of extra sparkle in the upper midrange. It works especially well for slightly midcentric iems.
 
I haven't heard those other ones.

  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.. 

 
Thanks Nick!  I looked at the Labkables and (gulp!) decided to splurge and get the Pandoras.  They arrived today, and first impressions are oh my, these do give nice clean, crisp separation.

Wow man, you went all out. That is a truly spectacular cable, in looks and sound. Those multicolored 10 braids, what a sight.. I only heard it briefly at Canjam, slightly warm but highly resolving. 
 
Share a pic and some impressions later on man!

I'm contemplating sending mine to Norne and having it converted to 2.5 balanced. Then I'll probably buy an adapter and be done with all this messing around with cables.

so i have been scouting through the cables threads in order to get an answer, what a disgrace.
Here, get a good quality Copper/Silver cable.

its to late i already went for pure copper but thanks anyway
I like that aswell but depends on the iem I will be using and there are so many ways in making a Copper cable.
