Campfire Trifecta cable recommendations

After 200 hours break in Campfire Trifecta sounds bright using iBasso and iFi headphone amps. With the supplied balanced cable, the Trifecta sounds better - less bright. Campfire suggests switching to an all copper cable. Any and all experience using balanced all copper cable with this IEM would be much appreciated. In particular has anyone tried Cardas Beyond Clear? (even though it has some silver it is mostly copper)

* Campfire Solaris sounds fine with iBasso and iFi. It's the Trifecta that sounds bright.

The Trifecta came with balanced and unbalanced cables. The balanced cable sounds less bright but still has an edge to it. I don't hear the brightness with Solaris on either iBasso or iFi players.

The manufacturer suggested trying a pure copper cable to tame the brightness of the Trifecta so I was asking others experience with different cables with the Trifecta.

Thx to ghdprentice about Cardas. Always gratifying when the best solution is also the cheapest.

DX320 and iCan.

The Solaris sounds fine with these amps as I said in my original post. I was surprised the Trifecta which is also made by Campfire sounds so bright.

Have you listened to the Trifecta?

The Effects Audio Eros S First Anniversary Edition tames the highs on the Trifecta while keeping the transparency. Meatier bass a bonus.
