Yup, for its midrange. I tend to use it with Hifiman HM-603S (all files converted to WAV format) -> Kimber IC -> Elekit TU-HP01 with MUSES01. It's just that I am using the grotty stock extension cable (as the fixed cable is about 30cm long), and have been wondering about treating them to a full recable with some nice OFC. Given their tonal balance, I am inclined to avoid silver or SPC.

Time to rediscover the EW9???

Yup, I think the spiky treble of EW9 better avoid SPC cables, for me I'm using just its stock cable.
EW9 is really sounding good on Phatlab Phantasy tube amp as I had expected.
Some people say EW9 is not good, are those who don't like too much coloration or simply their equipment don't drive it well, on paper it seems pretty easy to drive but fact is it is NOT!
Remember EW9 is produced in Discman and MD Era, and during that time those players have ample of power. EW9 does not goes well with modern mobile phones as those usually don't drive it well.
It's lacking in the bass department and has a rather harsh and grainy treble, but the midrange clarity is absolutely remarkable at the price.
In other words, they sound like full range horn speakers. I wonder if the FAD Piano Forte crowd might like them. They are certainly MUCH cheaper

EW9 is not in any way quite similar to the PF8 that I owned. Somehow I preferred EW9's sound signature anytime. Planning to sell off my PF8, it's a impulsive purchase.
Among the FAD lineup, only like their FI-BA-SS.

I love both their old and new works actually! I discovered them more through their new works recently, so I am attached to their new works as well!
