What cable is that? Looks neat.

Looks like a Linum, to me. But I'm curious as well.

Looks like a Linum G2 SuperBaX

Linum Super Bax - easily the most ergonomic cable I've seen/used, ridiculously thin/light/flexible

Sound-wise I also find it also manages to retain an IEM's characteristics remarkably well without losing detail or changing the low/mids/high balance compared to some other cables, despite its small size, but that's for another thread..

Great cable but too tangly in my humble opinion.

So even the SuperBax is tangly? Crap... I have a Bax and it's so close to being great, but it's just too fiddly and tangly.

Not the worst, but now I get thick cables to avoid that.

I'm sure you have a stock Noble cable somewhere, how does it compare to that?

no idea, I don't buy Noble.

Mim is right regarding Super Bax, I also find it gets all tangly if I don't use a cable tie

For what its worth, I have & use the stock Noble cable a fair amount and would say it feels a bit "meatier" compared to the Super Bax - while the Noble cable is malleable and flexible compared to most cables, in comparison to the Super Bax it just has more body and feels sturdier than the Super Bax which feels almost like a single wire

Hard to put into words but if you have the Bax then you are familiar with that crazy thin/flexible Linum feel

Got ya, thanks a lot for the detailed notes. I actually really like the stock Noble cable for its ergonomics. I'm just curious to hear Katana with a lower impedance cable. Basically, I'm looking for a higher quality cable but with the ergonomics of the Noble cable. So not a mega thick 8-core uber cable. No, a nice 4-core with great ergonomics and not too thick. I have my eyes on the Plussound X Series right now...
