Can't get the Pipeline to fit, (almost ruined the headphones), I saw a Youtube video review once of the Mikros, talked about a cable that would work, have to search for it.
When I picked up pipeline, I also purchased AUVIO® 3-Ft. 1/8" Stereo Audio Cable, it has the really small ends, I have them plugged into my ML's right now, sounds pretty good, I've been jumping between the pipelines and the Auvio on my test songs, what really jumps out is how lively and more dynamic the pipelines are, the auvios have little or no air around instruments. It's clear the pipeline has a more refined unrestricted presentation. The auvio is superior to the stock cable, but not by much, and leaves a lot to be desired compared to the Pipelines. I plan on getting some toxic cables made, well worth the investment, and usable with other headphones too. I used 2 tracks when comparing cables, ZZ Tops "Just Got Back From Baby's" & Keith Jarrett Standards Trio "Scrapple From The Apple" , both excellent recordings.
