These really are growing on me more with each session - I wasn't sure when they landed on Monday, it's taken time to 'understand' their tuning, and I'm not even at a point where I'd comfortably articulate how they sound. That said, some observations.
Edit - the strings in this track sound utterly beautiful, proper catch my breath stuff.
- A lot of tip experimentation, Final E tips the preference at the moment
- I've left them burn-in pretty much around the clock, and my burn-in scepticism is being eroded with each day that passes...
- Shanling M9 has better synergy vs LPGT - Twilight seems to benefit from the extra low end kick, and the hint of warmth M9 delivers
- Mids are definitely a strong point; clear, lush, very distinctive and captivating
- While the lows are somewhat taking a backseat, both mid and sub are very satisfying... again, especially with M9
- Treble is catching me out at times, it can almost be harsh and with some recordings, I've found it a bit too much. However, a huge positive here is that for a lot of recordings, it's fantastic - I'm finding percussion for example sounds incredible, cymbals and snares are incredibly lifelike and with fantastic control
- Good sized stage, excellent width and fantastic imaging
- I don't think they'll be an all-rounder, I need to get through more genres to really nail where they are working best
- Love the cable!

Did you ever find out whether it was a Liquid Link cable like with the Turii Ti? Do you know what kind material they use? From your description you may want to try a pure copper cable?These really are growing on me more with each session - I wasn't sure when they landed on Monday, it's taken time to 'understand' their tuning, and I'm not even at a point where I'd comfortably articulate how they sound.

Looking forward to more time over the weekend, definitely shaping up to be a very high performing set.

No I haven't found out, I checked the manual to see if any reference but no mention.
Yeah it is a copper cable, snip from the product page on Musicteck

Not all copper cables sound/useful the same.
Some of the best I've heard are DHC Complement C, PW Attila and Cardas Clear Light.
And they sound quite different. So I think it makes sense to pay attention to the sound, not the material of the conductor.
Anything with Cardas Copper is 
IMHO, of course.

Of course. And at the same time, only Cardas sounds like the copper it is usually described as - analog, warm, smooth, etc. And if I did not know that Attila is copper, I would rather consider him silver or hybrid.You do realize you're quoting 3 copper cables, right?

I'm tired of trying to figure out who is Cardas and who isn't.Anything with Cardas Copper is
I don't think DHC. And PW - there is magic behind seven locks.
Of these three, one can only be sure that Cardas is Cardas.

They is a great misunderstanding about the cable materials.
For instance, the real good silver cables don't at all sound thin, or shrill, or aggressive, with no bass foundation, etc. : this is the exact contrary.
And I know pure copper cables that are very fast, precise, etc.

1960s and 1950s are confirmed Cardas. The rest, who knows?
Isnt complement c quite thick (~19awg) and can be quite heavy for iem?
