Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

Any suggestions for next Monday on AE? I was looking for Penon Vocal for my EST50, but no discount... Any comparable good alternative to that?

It seems good, but there's no review about it... at that price point I'd probably prefer something else at Gladiator Cables.

Aliexpress summer sale is here, thinking I can post some of the deals I think is good.

NiceHCK first

NiceHCK DragonScale 7N OCC+ Palladium Silver Alloy Mixed Earphone Cable. Slightly over the budget on the thread. Thick cable but special, thinking about ordering one myself.

NiceHCK RubyCat german Copper. Cheap but good copper, colour is in-between red and pink depending on lighting. Ligth and comfortable, but a little stiff.

NiceHCK BlackSoul Replace Cable Silver Plated 5-element Alloy+Rare Earth Alloy Wire, good cable that slightly tames treble for me. Looks great.

NICEHCK SilverLoong Copper Silver Alloy And 7N Silver Plated OCC
This I liked very much, a light and comfortable SPC cable with more silver content than the normal SPC according to NiceHCK.

NiceHCK C16-3 16 Cores High Purity Copper
If its anything like my 16 core copper from XINHS this is one of my most comfortable cables.

NiceHCK Dropped a sweet coupon code on their twitter for the MeetAlice
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005695399402.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.27bb38daN5Ch3y&mp=1

Code: QFCAUKPHXTXE

Thanks, I am giving this a go. Did not believe it would be on a good sale before 11.11 since it's new.
Is there a metric to estimate correctly a pricing?
How this cable start at 120 as just a copper silver plated like dragon start at 500 ?
DragonScale never cost that amount when you use discount coupons, more like 300. But specially on NiceHCK, never buy them without sales.

Hi all!

I choose the cable for my Sennheiser IE200 + Ru6.

As far as I understand, they have a non-standard MMCX connector. Will the NiceHCK PurpleSE cable work with them? I want something copper with a 4.4 connector. Advise please, the budget is about $50. Thank you!

Gladiator Cables

Need to mention this, long time since last time I had a cable from a small maker. My friend told me about Gladiator Cables, got in contact with him trough Discord to make a cable for my incoming Aurora. Really good guy, enjoyed our talk on deciding on hardware and wire and so on. Very helpsome, but of course he tries to sell to me 🤣

Landed on 22.5awg 6N copper cable with the sleeve I was interested in. The 4.4mm plug is actually a pure copper plug with chrome outer coating. Price came around at a little over 100usd, and I think this is justified since its custom made in Italy. Stock config is thinner and cheaper.

Not going to talk about technicalities, it is pure good copper cable.

I am very happy. Also quite comfortable to be 22.5awg.
