I got the T2 silver cable recently. You can see it next to the T1 cable. The T2 looks nicer, but that's partly due to the T1 getting old...

Ted did a great job reterminating my Silver Litz 2 to fit the tiny, tiny mmcx connectors used on my Obravo's.

Just got Ted's T2 Silver balanced cable for my Utopias and the pairing is perfect - great sub bass extension and very complimentary to the awesome high end capabilities of the Utopias. I auditioned the Utopias at the last SF Meet and those had the KImber Axios cables. While nice looking, I can't say the Kimber cables did much for me. I may get flamed for saying that but I would say listen first, then save yourself $1K and get the T2 cable from Ted, especially if you want a little more sub bass extension.

I agree that they are substantially better than the original T1. Kimbers are pretty, but I'm skeptical about the added value. Also think it's interesting that a couple of threads I follow (flickenick's iem shootout for example) are really ramping up discussions about the not subtle enhancements of the new Asian cables coming out (like Effect Audio and PW). I really find it hard to believe a lot of what I'm reading about cables that are reaching $1,000+ in price. Pricing is becoming mind boggling, and I sit here totally content with my T2! Keep in mind that I'm not a naysayer about the benefit of cable upgrades, I'm just seeing the law of diminishing returns really kicking in with the outrageous pricing of some of these cables.

Here is a picture of three T2 silver litz cables that I have. On the left is the UM Pro 50. The middle one is a balanced cable that I use for the HD 650 when I want to hook it up to the Fiio X7 (portable option). On the right is the cable currently connected to the HD 650 and Schiit Valhalla. Not bad, right?

Edit: the picture won't show up. Something appears to be busted. Until I figure this out, you can see the picture in this imgur album.
