LCD-2 and LCD-3 Owners - which aftermarket cable do you use?

What is the cable you have coming?  The website is way too confusing for me to figure out.  Is there just one for the LCD or many?
 

I believe there are two main ones. The Double Helix and the Macro Molecule. I actually got this from a fellow headfier.
 
I had planned on staying with the stock for quite a while to get a good impression before I branched out but felt it was a good deal so I jumped.  If it wasn't terminated to an SR-71b connection I'd send it to you for a comparison

The Molecule is the 'main' one (normally in copper but silver is optional), the Macro Molecule is specially made for LCD-2 (8 wire).
But there's also the Clone, Complement and Spore

The Q audio cable is so speedy that I've had a ticket already. Ticket to audio heaven that is.

FedEx delivery van showed up this morning, and I have since been on a joy ride. My initial impression is that Q Audio cables add clarity without changing the overall sound signature of LCD2. I like that...a lot.

Nice.:)  The Q is a keeper
 
(Off topic -> I even ordered it to my HiFiMAN HE-500).

That increased clarity opens the way to a lot of other improvements you're going to notice as you spend more time with the Q.

Hey guys, does anyone have any experience with the double helix clone cables (silver or copper) with the LCD 2s (rev 2 would be great)? Thanks. http://doublehelixcables.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=12

I never intended for anyone to actually buy the Kumihimo braided one.  It is intentionally priced too high, because it is really, really slow and not fun to loom.

I don't think it will piss im off. Since it is priced high, I think the annoyance fee is built in.

I think Skylab has tried some cables, including at least the Moon Silver, ALO Chain mail, Q Audio and Norse and I believe he preferred the Q Audio in sound and ergonomics.
 
I bought a Double Helix Molecule OCC Silver that came in yesterday, but didn't extensively listen/compare yet. I'm pretty sure I'll end up with one of Steve's cables eventually, and compare the two.
Anyhow, Peter from Double Helix made me a beatiful cable:


Ohhhhhh

Im thinking of getting this design, or ill get a copper teflon that would look amazing (theoretically) with the LCD-2's wood.
