On the stock cable the speed and PRaT does seems a lil lacking compared to his BA counterparts in the performance tier.
Thats why when I swapped back to the stock cable from the 93spec its just like what you said - Steering away from a cleaner bass iem.
The headroom increased overall especially in the low regions being cleaned up and hastened, fully untapped treble potential for shining yet unfatiguing treble sparkle.
In fact one of my ex-colleagues found my pairing of the 850's performance unbelivably close to ToTL BA Universals when it comes to overall merits on Imaging, Mids and Highs with Clean Bass Texture.
(which both of us used to be working for a headphone boutique store in Singapore)
He listened a great deal to the stock FX850 demo but found imaging to be lacking for his taste; but never found it so with my cable on DX90 Headphone-Out and was actually amazed by how imaging of the FX850 can go from slight negative to a big positive in his books.
While I don't feel that the FX850 did anywhere bad in imaging at all on stock cable, I always appreciate more third person opinions on these.
(P.S. And @Leo888 haven't look me up and try it yet, would be good to have his thoughts on these too..)
Haven't been doing much listening lately having gone thru weeks of intense events. Do still read the thread and did some purchasing but not much listening. Still waiting on the Hydra V2 cable due to some issues and will be delayed. Will be in touch again when I get those things behind me. Sorry for the wait though.
