SPC so far, but I might jump on a straight silver some day when funds allow.

I use pure silver with my K10s and found it opened up the sound stage and treble a tad which really compliments the sound signature of the CIEMs. It is 4 strands of 21awg Litz 6 if that makes a difference.

LOL, probably

Not a great picture but as requested.

That’s not nearly as ropey (that's a word now) as I expected, actually. How flexible is it?

Not amazing but it works and sounds good which is the main thing

Silver seems to work best for me.  But some can be sibilant or tone down the bass.  IMO, two that have been a great combo with the K10 for me are the Whiplash TwagV3 and Ted'sHeadphoneLounge Silver Litz V2.  They add a little treble clarity and maintain the signature bass and mids of the K10.  Plus, they are not outrageously priced.  In particular, I was astonished at the quality and SQ of Ted's silver, and the price is so much more reasonable than so many of the new boutique cables.  Honestly, 8 conductor cables are more impressive looking, but I've had a difficult time hearing much difference from the 4 conductors when you are talking about a 4 or 5 foot cable. Deciding on the number of conductors may also be influenced by your need for portability and flexibillty.   Strictly my personal opinion, but I hope this helps.

Hydra?  I have a Hydra18 4 strand interconnect, and it is beautiful but super thick!

It is indeed. Going to be getting a Hydra 22 4 cable soon as well as it is more flexible for portable use.

  Oh dear. These images just hit my inbox - That's my productivity down the drain for the rest of the day!

 

Spoiler: Here's a live camera feed of me looking at those pictures:

 

 
Wow.
 
Those look really.. awesome.
 

 
Nobody would disagree that that's one mighty fine looking CIEM!

The Hydra 22 is absolutely beautiful. Definitely one of the prettiest cables around. I have a few of his cables (Black Widow, Virus Hybrid), and they are all very well made. As a bonus, they sound great, too! Frank makes great work.
