Is the CEMA Tianwaitian really the same as the Totem?
Nope. They sound different. CEMA TWT sounds very thick/lush and somewhat smoothen the details. Totem sounds natural and enhance the staging

The Totem sounds really good and enhances Trailli very well. Great match

Looking for something to pair with the Evo. I've only had experience with the AG8, but quite a while ago. Not with the EVO. Looking at the AG8,Leo plus,CEMA Gyrfalcon,. maybe a used Totem. I'm a bass player, but definitely not a bass head. I eq the low end on down on the EVO a lot. Soundstage, 3d, pinpoint imaging and airiness are priorities. And detail. I've got more bass on the EVO than I'll ever need!

4-Strand FURUTCH PURE PCOCC.
The cable enhances volume and quality of not only bass but of a treble too. The sound is very warm, even lush, with good resolution and wider soundstage. I use it with Shozy B2 + Cayin N3pro.

Super copper series 4-core thick OCC cable.
Overall good cable, especially for hybrid IEMs. I use it with LZ A7. A bass became tighter and deeper. The pure copper cables make edges of frequency response wider.

7N Frozen Single Crystal Copper Special Tuning Custom Edition LITZ
One more hybrid cable. It has dark sound and in stock there are insufficient clarity and transparency. It's stiff also. So I can't recommend it, but after resoldering by high quality solder the sound became very bass and transparent.
My current favorite cable for DD sets one of the few that really did change the sound ...for me.

I have many XINHS cables. They have really good quality for the money. No one of them satisfying me now - I need better :)

Maybe you can try Greenmood next Ali sale event, it's very good cable for price, and sound really nice, it's not level of TOTEM , but very close to 95%
I'm not sure about NiceHCK cables. My last cable from NiceHCK was Maple and it disappointing me totally. It's pretty good aesthetic, the sound is still detailed, but resolution, soundstage, clarity, transparency and layering are like very cheap cable has.
I don't know about Totems sound and how to measure percentage of different sound aspects.
As for me resolution and overall clarity are main parameters of sound quality. There is some correlation between SQ and cable structure (1st) and conductor material (2nd). All my excellent cables have litz structure and thikness of each thread is 0.05-0.06 mm. Better results are with litz type 6 cables and largest number of threads - at usually. In second place - the purity of conductor material. Often the stated purity of 7n is actually no more than 99.99955%, which is really 6n. It's just chinese marketing. :wink:
NiceHCK does not reveal such important information about the cable structure, so its cables are like a cat in a bag for me.

One more Haldane cable:

The same furniture, the same coaxial, but it's a double shielding litz 4 type hybrid structure (OCC + SP OCC).
The sound more cold, so therefore slightly more microdetails and the bass is more dry, then previous Haldane cable

EarSonics Onyx/Penon Vocal/Wm1Z/Zero EQ

Truthfully I don't know anything about this cable, I received it about 40 minutes ago. I don't know the price but Penon is written on it, and the word Vocal?
