Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

Got my french silk BW on Friday. Materials and workmanship are excellent. Sound quality excellent also, fantastic dynamics, imaging and soundstaging. Frequecy extension is excellent. Less smear results in a blacker background and better instrument separation. Wish I had a good camera to photograph this cable, but suffice to say aesthetics wise it's exactly what I want, and I am impossible to please.
congrats! Welcome to the most demanding family :D
What color sleeve u got? Do u experience some kind of microphobics?

I think the silk is the dielectric itself, and is black in colour.  I try to manipulate the wires and I don't hear any difference so I can't detect any microphonics.

I do. Excellent pairing. It clarifies the mids while maintaining the organic signature of the lcd 2. And of cos, the BW has that nice sparkle to the sound as well. :)

Eliciting recommendation of Toxic Cable for Shure SE846 :

I have narrowed my choices to:

Silver Widow: 25.5AWG (OCC Stranded Litz Silver with Gold/Cryo) Available in clear only. Fitear.

Silver Poison: 26AWG (OCC Stranded Silver with upto 1% Gold/Cryo) Available in clear only. Fitear.

Virus: 26AWG (OCC Stranded Litz Silver + OCC Stranded Litz Copper strands within each wire) Clear only. Fitear

I am very familiar with these cables but have not tried them on the Shure SE846.

I would be appreciative of any actual experience you can share.

Sorry, what's with the "fitear" part?
