Hey, other tribrids I've heard include the EE Odin, Valkyrie, Wraith, MMR Thummim, VE Elysium, Jomo Trinity Brass, and Noble Sultan. There's other stuff like the Rhapsodio Zombie MK.2 and MEST, but they're not strictly tribrids haha. Hope this helps clarify
It's just a cheapie off of Aliexpress. I believe it's the **** 8 Core 7N Single Crystal Copper Upgraded Cable.
The Monarch does have some plasticky-ness to its bass transient behavior. I didn't comment on it in the review, but I read afterwards that the Monarch apparently uses a DD and some of those BAs for the low end which makes sense. I'm guessing that's part of what keeps it so incisive though.
