Yeah, the hissing I got with the S8F (and to a greater extent the BGVP DP6) on the M11 was annoying for really quiet tracks but otherwise would sort of disappear. In both cases, that was running balanced cables, which I think can slightly amplify the noise floor of an amp.
I will point out that the Gu.Craftsman cable (that I have at least) does have more microphonics than other competing cables I have used. That Electro acousti cable looks really nice. I’ve used expensive cables and cheap cables and personally don’t find they make a huge difference in sound quality if the same end connection type is used. Going from single ended to balanced usually is the main sound difference as long as the original cable didn’t have a connection problem. The Han Sound Audio Zen 8 is probably my favorite in my collection, but it is quite bulky and doesn’t have preformed ear loops, so there are personal preference issues. For the money, the Tripowin C8 cables that Linsoul keeps advertising are really quite good.
The TinHiFi T4 sounds really really good too, soundstage seems very wide and the graph is perhaps slightly nicer for me than the BLON BL-03, as the bass is tamed just a smidge and feels a bit more controlled. There are some songs where the BLON BL-03 bass can be a bit much and others where it is glorious. I just need to swap tips around and find the best fit; the T4 does have a couple of sharp edges so if you insert them deeper the edge can be a touch uncomfortable…just need to iron out the fit.
