Hows that?

Chrome didn't strike me as evil enough so I have a similar one in black hardware

Solid gold man!!
58x-600 series
Very well made, amazing light cable..Feather weight. dead silent, no sound up into the cans. Nice!
Don't really hear much of a difference in audio. Slightly more clear then the stock cable. They say gold is mid-range forward. Maybe?, it sounds good to me. $40ish from Luna 16 core, feels more like 8 core, nice and flexible

My cables finally arrived!

Looks like they got a new case with their logo on.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001872907457.html

Cable A24, looks and feels like cable A6 but is almost half the price. Unfortunately it does not measure as good being at 0.27 ohms but still recommended due to the low price and high build quality.

Sure looks similar right? A24 is only a bit more silverish, while A6 is whiter. (A6 on top and A24 on bottom.)

Well, do I have to say something? I am sure that the pictures already made you take out your wallet.
But to help you with that, this costed me 20 usd and it measures at 0.13ohms. So yes, it looks like cable A1 has been beaten.
This is Cable A25, a custom cable with 2 gold/copper wires + 1 sterling silver (pure silver) so its a 6 core cable.

Another version of cable A25, but with 1 gold/copper wire + 2 sterling silver wires. Unfortunately this measures quite a lot worse than the other version. Being at 0.37ohms instead. Which means this isnt a A series, instead it joins the B series as cable B8


Neither the A25 or the B8 have been listed for sale. But I will tell him that he should list cable A25, its an epic cable for sure.

Cable A1 vs A25

Which one do you prefer? both are gorgeous in my eyes. But the A25 has an edge for me (probably because it looks more unique but with the colors and the setup being a 6 core config).

If you didnt know, my inspiration for these 2 cables come from CEMA.

Looks like 99% the same but are almost 10x cheaper!

How much lighter is A25? A1 was too heavy for me lol

Definitely lighter. It is 6 core vs 8 core. The A25 is more similar to the thickness/weight of the A3 (4 core).

Just reiterating what a great cable this is

XINHS HIFI Audio Store ​

8 cores pure silver and single crystal copper mixed braid headphone upgrade cable ​

￡23.78

Unlike a pure silver cable which highlights the treble and recesses the bass a little, or a pure copper cable which can enhance the bass, this cable seems to add something very musical to both without losing any bass. Quite a thick cable, looks beautiful and for its cost it is very well made, comes in a nice zip box, and really sounds good. For £23 you just can't go wrong. Ordered 23/5/21 received in the UK on 2/6/2121. Extremely happy with this lovely cable.

Dang I just bought the A1 cable.

How would you compare the two sonically?

The braid isnt as tight as the A25, so even though the A6 got less cores, its actually a bit thicker lol.

Zero difference. Not a believer.

Not exactly the same but @saldsald had some thoughts in his post on the regular gold plated cable here:

I got 8 core graphene cables from XINHS which is generic of NICEHCK darkjade, Linsoul Nymph. Also, I got generic version of NICEHCK whitecrane as well.
Graphene one opens up the soundstage, retains the treble energy and bass rumble, which made a really good synergy with Unique Melody 3DT. But the combination of this cable with Thieaudio Monarch made sound too bright to me.
In contrast, whitecrane gave enhanced thickness to the note without compromising detail retrieval of Monarch, and brings out noticeably better mid compared to the stock cable of Monarch (which is sold at ~60$ from Linsoul, EST cable IIRC). Swapping back to stock cable, the sound of monarch became somewhat hollow compared to whitecrane, so I decided to keep whitecrane paired with monarch.
All in all, I am happy with this seller and purchasing from him (her?) again. To me, graphone cable is one new finding as there hasn't been such a relatively cheap option that could enhance the soundstage of IEM.

Which XIN cable is the equivalent of the White Crane?
Thanks
