Any new impressions from Penon mix? That one might be kind of what I'm willing to pay for cable. I'd pair it with Clairvoyance for now. How stiff is it? (I prefer ones on the softer side that do not tangle too much).

What are you looking for in a cable?
Warm or neutral sound? intimate or big stage? Detailed or soft sound?

No stiffness whatsoever on the Mix. It is a great cable. Out of all the Penon cables it is the most flexible and softest cable out of the bunch.

Hi all,
new to this thread. Did anybody already try out cables from Icelab (icelab.hk)? They look nicely built but I can't find any info about them other than their website. Any impressions?

New flagship Penon cable will be introduced soon. Looking foward to this one. Gold silver copper and palladium mixed cable.
Might be a bit pricy we will see.

Hi there!
How d'you nice people think that this cable I lost an eye upon would affect the sound?
Like... Darker or brighter signature? Tightened or loosened freq ranges? Wider or narrower soundstage?
Thank you in advance.
I am using this cable with Kinera Nanna and find it well-balanced, perhaps just slightly warm / north of neutral, and ergonomics are terrific.

i'm done with mix ups of weird materials etc. quitting the cable game with my DHC complement C, big recc from me, also reccomending going for either pure copper or pure silver only, but would recc copper more.

something like the tianwaitian doesn't hold a candle to the complement C

Seems like plenty of good words for complement C. I might buy one after all.

Yes tianwaitian seem to push the bass/trebles forward too much for most iems. It's rather difficult to find a use for it.

I am happy with tianwaitian and Z1R, push mids forward and better imaging compared to stock cables.

For vocals I'm using Liquid links Martini with Moondrop S8. Gold plated cables tend to give a bit more sub-bass and brings warmth to the signature.

I suspect that TWT maybe allowing "too much" current across, this causes my full-ba sets to get overwhelmed. I need something with higher impedance like Z1R with a big DD. That way it would benefit from plenty of power.
