So I just ordered a whole lot of tips and cables to try on my Aria
Decided to get CP155 and 500 tips to give Spinfits another chance, along with FA instrument, Acoustune AET07a and 08a, and Azla Sedna Light Short tips. For cables the following have yet to arrive:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...exp_id=6952b543-afe1-4f9c-9dc8-6987644e3814-0
The others are here and I have tested them on my Arias (with clear adhesive behind metal wax guards removed and with BGVP A07 tips).
This cable https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...exp_id=76ecbb24-017e-4686-98d3-d6cc6d76ee55-0 offers nice value for its price and pairs well with the Aria in this configuration. The only complaint I have about it is the slightly smaller soundstage it portrays compared with the rest of the cables I have now.
This cable is surprisingly bright sounding https://www.aliexpress.com/item/400...exp_id=04599161-4dd8-4cb3-a8a3-81d9b061e001-1 The mids are brighter than that of my Tri SPC cable, though not as recessed. Bass is less thick but still hits hard, and treble is very detailed but more natural than the Tri's. It's too bright for my Arias in this configuration though. I'm unsure if the cable is identical to this one from the official KBear store https://www.aliexpress.com/item/400...exp_id=04599161-4dd8-4cb3-a8a3-81d9b061e001-6 as it costs much less, and the security seal on one side of the little box had been slit before, with another seal pasted over it. The build quality does seem legit though
