I am interested in a comparison between Whiplash TWag replacement cable and the crystal piccolino with custom IEMs like JH13. Did anyone have a chance to try both? Any information will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for the information. Could you please add some details about the sound of piccolino vs. TWag since you have both? That would be very useful.

I wouldn't say the TWag is lifeless, I think the Piccolino is just more refine, smooth, more body, and better bass.

Parrots, did you listen with the stock cable? i find that the twag brings more life to the jh13s. i've never heard the piccolino. don't they cost about as much as a jh13?

Course I have listened to the stock cable I have 4 of those and the TWag certainly does bring add life to the 13/16 but the Piccoliiino is another beast altogether and both the TWag and V2 sound lifeless when you compare them to the Piccolino side by side.

@ jalo, how the TWag originally bought my customs alive over the stock cable is what what the Piccolino done for me over the TWag, the Piccolino for me certainly does more for the music, when using the Piccolino I get the feeling that this is how the music was meant to sound, it just sounds more alive and I don't get that much from the TWag which don't get me wrong is an excellent cable at a decent price but the Piccolino for me is just on another level.

are you running balanced or se? is the piccolino se superior to either stock or twag run balanced?

Thanks for the detailed comparison, Parrots and Jalo. Do you know where I can buy the Crystal Piccolino cable?

That is a pretty penny for an IEM cable.

Thanks for the suggestion and for the link. However, apparently it's sold out on the web site ..... I will write to uncle Wilson anyway. It looks like it's basically impossible to get at the moment though.
