I just happened to get one of these new cables in the mail this week...
I've been pestering Noble about a skinny cable for quite a while. I wear my iems for long periods, so every bit of comfort counts. For that reason, I recently tried the Linum Bax cable. That one has a 1.5 ohm impedance and I found it to alter the sound of the K10 in a way that just didn't sit quite right with me. I still haven't re-terminated the Skinny Noble(TM), but so far I hear no changes at all, compared to the stock cable. It's slightly stiffer than the Linum, but still very soft and flexible. I just wish it had angled connectors instead of that ¤&!&!!§ memory wire...

Linum cables are extremely light, thin and flexible. The stuff they say about affecting frequency response is rubbish. They also don't have the metal wire that goes around the ear which is good because that usually just ends up adding microphonics. I'm also concerned that silver cables like that eventually end up with a green tinge.
