I recently purchased a Thieaudio Monarch and I want to try a better cable than the standard one and I would like to know if you can recommend one that will get the most out of the monarchs. If it is possible to enhance the bass more, I like my head to shake
I would definitely stick with a copper based cable. Depends on your budget really. I've purchased the Eletech Fortitude 8 core($349) and it's a copper cable that, in my opinion, beats out the stock UM Mest MK 2 cable which retails for $562. If it were me, I'd look on the forums (where I got mine) for something either Eletech or Effect Audio. My two cents for what it's worth.

In my experience, any of the cables with gold plating seem to increase bass and warmth. I would recommend something like the tri cable or any gold mix.
This is the tri cable. Just fyi its stiffer and thicker than the other 8 core cables. Softest 8 core and most flexible I've tried is the graphene but its heavier.

These adapters work largely only if one have too powerful (and noisy at lower voltage) sources mismatched to a sensitive IEM.
With a weak source, these adapters makes the sound worse including a loose bass.
<added on editing> - though in many cases, the adapters can help match the tastes. 20 Ohm or lower (if you can find) would definitely be my recommendation to start. <>
Then, if the frequency response changes - it is a clear sign of the source limitations. An ideal source should provide the same frequency-independent power with the increase in a purely resistive load by voltage compensation.
Finally, if the resistance adapters do work for you - IEMatch (few more resistors in a bridge) will work even better
Finally got this little guy in from AE today. Doesn't sound too bad brand new with no burn in. I was very surprised by the soundstage. Doesn't have the same weight on the notes that the higher end stuff does but still needs a proper burn in. To be continued....
That's one of the best looking cables I've seen and the reports of it being super soft are great. I just wish it used different hardware, but the wire and mixed braids look excellent. I'd order one but have no use for another cable. It's definitely at the top of my list for when I need another one/get a new IEM.

Yep it's very soft and supple. It's a bit thinner than the pictures show but I like the thinness as it's easier on the ears. The twist ratio on the ear hooks is very well done. The whole cable really is built above expectation. Great cable.
