For an aftermaket cable for the Tralucent, I've tried Effect Audio Studio "Odin" ($225 incl. shipping from Singapore to USA), which is supposed have technical ties to the uber-expensive Nordost Odin cables in that it uses the same seven-nines silver-plated copper wire insulated by the FEP monofilament tubing that is wound around the conductor.
Anyways, my impression was that this cable uses a SOLID-CORE wire, and seeing how the solid-core Tralucent Uber cable improves sound over the stranded gold/silver, I thought I'd give this a try. (BTW, I'm now no longer sure whether this is a solid-core wire).
The cable is pretty thin and has very little coil memory, which makes the cable MUCH MORE ergonomic than the gold/silver. I also think it looks nice as well, with a yellowish silver colors with a weaving type inner texture. The Westone-type metal connectors fit the IEM's recessed sockets perfectly, and the fit is very secure. I can see this being a daily portable cable, from an ergonomic point of view.
The sound is considerably more detailed and airy than the gold/silver cable. It's much more analytical and nuanced in the treble, as if looking at the sound using a microscope. Soundstage is also considerably larger. This works GREAT with naturally miked unamplified acoustic music, such as classical and Jazz. On the other hand, the sound is definitely brighter overall, and this does not help with the closed-miked and/or sibilant studio recordings, which can be brutal. Basically, it feels like an overwhelming amount of information is being yelled at me. So, while intellectually rich, it's difficult to connect emotionally when listening to these types of music.
