Which cable would be better for Andromeda: Reference-8 or SXC 8 IEM?

That’s funny, I bought the Andromeda’s from hifi headphones. Also looking at the Forza Hybrid cable, have a tab open pondering.
Is it a step up from the Litz?
Just bought a pair of 2019 Andro’s and love them out of SE connection of SS SP1000. Using Spiral Dot tips, seem to give good balance of bass and treble.
Does anybody have a cable recommendation for a 2.5mm balanced? Have read all the stories about the Andro’s being source and cable picky.
Don’t want to break the bank but do want to use the balanced out of the SP1000.

I agree with the Alo cables being a bit stiff.
I’d suggest looking into some of the budget PW Audio cables instead - IMO they’re much nicer than EA’s offerings. Saladin and Loki are both a fair bit cheaper than the Thor II/Lionheart mentioned above and closer in price to the Ref-8/SXC8
Stiffness and microphonic noise go hand in hand. I consider that to be part of audio quality. Unless you plan to not move your body while listening.Thank you for the reply.
Actually, I'm looking for the better cable in regards to the better audio quality – and not to the better stiffness or price.

Alright, I'm not gonna push this any further then, but I'm just curious, have you ever used a truly microphonic cable?Ok, then I'm interested in a cable for the Andromeda for the better audio quality such as the Reference-8 or SXC 8 IEM; stiffness and microphonic are here for me not a criterium for "better audio quality".

I went thru and was testing all my cables today and I compared the Ref 8 against the SXC 8.
The SXC is not as microphonic as the Ref 8 and to me has smoother highs, deeper bass and a bigger more 3D soundstage.
I wouldn't call the SXC 8 brighter. When I hear brighter, I think more pronounced highs. The SXC 8 is more revealing with additional details that make the soundstage more 3D without introducing any high end harshness.Thank you very much for this answer.
So, you mean that the SXC is brighter than the Ref8?
