For me the stock cable is quite nice.
It is better than T8ie by sound stage as well as mid range and treble control.
The appearance is more attractive too with air vens make the sound is more relax.

Sounds like they made some significant improvements... how do they compare to some of the iems you own or tried? Are you planning on ordering them?

Very appreciate the coherent of 1 dynamic iems.
But i'm sticking on electrostatic treble for its super detail and resolution retrieval.

Hmmm which electrostatic iems do you have? It has been a while since I looked into iems.
Local personal, young and promising :)
Combining with best BA driver :) and Upgraded cable for internal wired (Nordost Heimdall2 for example )

My Utopias sound not very impressive with sp2k....
I heard sp2k can make LCD4s sing, but I kind of doubt it.
Utopias with the dave + HMS are very revealing and crazy detailed, if that is your thing, but lacks depth and weight to my ears. I get tired of it easily and certainly not my preferred sq. The Utopias do scale up very nicely with better, reasonably powered amps. The Stellias are easier to drive than utopias and so far a promising pair for the sp2k.
I use Utopia with my SP2K, with Atlas balanced cable, and it drives them easily. Certainly better than SP1k with which I preferred Shure KS1200.
Currently listening to Bob Marley, Natty Dread at setting 70. Superb.

As we know, that doesn't exist... but its still nice to have top of the line options that excel in different ways.
But it does , always been , but its not easy to see what you have in front of you or in a drawer.

Interesting, I bought a SE cable from Atlas for my AKG K812's. Which Atlas cable have you got and what are its characteristics? How much?

If there was a system that could reproduce music with total accuracy, where it was indistinguishable from a live performance or what recording engineers laid down, some listener would still say its imperfect. There's no accounting for taste! Luckily, the TC meets me where I live and its fantastic with the right recordings and chain components.
