Wow,
Symbiote Elite 19 – 18.8awg OCC Silver – Ultimate 2 pin CIEM Cable
Darn it got my v3 8 braid before its launch at double helix. Oh well Black Friday deal on my v3 will have to do, but I'd order this.

I did order it, have it, and absolutely love it!

4 conductors with 19 gauge wires for IEM use?!? I draw the line at 22awg, the gauge of Thor II+ and TWag v4 which is already thick and on a heavier side. It looks very nice, and lightweight y-splitter and o-ring chin slider will cut down on weght. Of course, depends on a personal preference, but in my opinion 19awg 4-conductors might be too thick and heavy for a portable IEM use on the go, though the cable resistance will be quite low.

Thanks everyone for the likes. And twister6, thank you for your comments. I'm not worried about heavy on this one, though, I believe Peter has mitigated it with the features you mention.
Coupled with the AK source SP1000, I'm really looking forward to something special.

Well, you are a strong guy. A very strong guy.

If I have a cable with a 3.5 connection and I replace the 3.5 with a 2.5 connection will that make the cable balanced?

If your cable is 4, 6 or 8-braid. It is possible to re-terminate from 3.5SE to 2.5BL.
