Phew, I was about to order the older GR07 a few days ago, luckily I didn't. If this MKII version indeed reduces the sibilance, that would be awesome. Can't wait to read your review.

Is the cable less stiff? Is it finally possible to wear them without earhooks?
Can anyone explain electrically how adding more silver to a cable can help with sibilance?
They may have improved the design of the bio-cellulose driver in the lab process, or it's geometry, or reduced the internal resonance of the IEM, and are simply saying "more silver in the cable reduced sibilance" since that's easier.
Swimsonny noted there's already been several revisions of the GR07 prior to the MK2, three I think? The changes are unclear but they seem pretty dedicated to good sound, my R04 updated version doesn't have many faults in it as an IEM.
Here's my humble guess:
sibilance is caused by unevenness/spikes in the treble. Since silver is more conductive, it would allow the treble signals to move more freely (I read somewhere that treble is the fastest to get to the driver), evening out the freq response a bit up top.
Take that with a grain of salt because I'm more versed in chemistry and biology than I am physics.
