I can only speak for the Smabat ST-10, there is actually another NiceHCK cable with better conductivity than the ones you have listed. It is number 053 in hakuzen's list, I have the mixed copper/silver version and it adds a warm tilt to the ST-10 which I like.

I would ignore the TRN 8-core cable, read HERE for the reasons.

If you want to stay with the neutral character of the ST-10, then I like to use this SPC cable from Penonaudio.

I also felt that the amount of medium and high sound of Smabat ST-10 was a little short with the stock cable, so I changed to the silver-plated MMCX cable to achieve satisfactory sound balance. (It is a cheap cable of only $ 15.:ksc75smile:)

Silver-plated MMCX cables are highly recommended for those who have Smabat ST-10.:L3000:

Regular foams or donut foams? The mids/highs to me were good enough I've gone to the regular foams. Otherwise it was a bit fatiguing on long sessions (4+ hours). I also eq'ed some of the bass out for those long sessions.

My Smabat ST-10 is the first revision. I use a slightly thin full foam on it.
Perhaps the disagreement with you may be the difference between your sound balance preference and mine.:ksc75smile:

Hahaha.

I love the bass of the ST-10 but not for 6-8 hours straight. Trying to keep my hearing. :thinking:

I listen to a lot of bass heavy music, so taking 3db at 31/62hz and 1.5 at 125hz just takes the edge off.

wah why ur me80 has different colour

Looks similar to mine, which just got in last night (currently burning in). The photo has higher contrast and it looks darker in his pic than irl, from what I can tell.

Could be. Probably is. We all hear differently. :grin:

don't think it's the contrast. his shell is bluish while the line within the shell is still silver.

After use Yincrow rw9 one month I'm very surprised about the sq. What do you think and can I find a better option quality/price?

They truly are awesome.
