I've got the YY Pro Tucana over here, which is also a great sounding cable.

As far as I know, YY Pro Audio (based in HK) has a 1 yr warranty on their cables (mine came in a wooden box with a warranty card), so you probably can contact them to get the cut out (and maybe even greenish) part fixed for probably shipping costs only. But before that, I would certainly check what @ranfan wrote (great advise) on the former page...

well my friend what shall I tell, I did not want to talk about it how I will never ever buy anything from them again, as I asked them to look into those issues and simply they sent that they will not and consider greening part of users fault, and the issue about cut they did not even think to reply about it although i asked twice

Have you tried cleaning or changing the termination? The jack and pin. Perhaps it was due to poor contact area
yes i did try to see if cleaning it will do anything but nothing helps

Hmmm, sorry to read that :pensive:
I thought they would have/provide better after sales service than that.

Greening (although it doesn't influence the sq afaik) happens to a lot of copper cables. Sound cut outs are a much bigger problem of course...

that is why i am never buying from them again as I bought 2 cables and they do not care at all about after sales service related to cut out, unless you live there and meet them in person maybe

I'm sorry to hear. I guess, if you still want to, you can try reterminating the pin and/or jack. But there is the possibility that the cable is the faulty one, so this won't solve.

I'd recommend PlusSound. A consideration for your next cable :)

The sound cuts are a common problem with mmcx connectors. I've also had it a couple of times and its very annoying, which is why I'm glad nearly all high end iems use 2-pin. I think just reterminating the faulty side should do the trick, you can have that done by most cable manufacturers or just a DIY-er if you know one.

for me i need to know which one is the most reliable company that will stand behind their customer in case the connectors cut out, and not leave me standing there with no support or step up to their responsibility, as what bugged me bout yy pro audio they did not even consider the cut out issue at all

then the second question is which cable to buy to give a real noticeable improvement in sound that increases the sound stage and maintains amazing bass and full mids with warmth that does not cost an arm and a leg, the saturn is amazing sound wise and is thick an 8 core cable and when new looks amazing, before i literally never believed in cables but the change is really huge between stock and using saturn, i have an Effect Audio Eros 4-wire and the difference between stock and eros 4 is not that huge as with saturn

Saturn is a copper cable while the Eros has silver wires and copper wires, it is not the direct competitor (the sound is different). The direct competitor of YY PRO Audio Saturn is the Effect Audio Ares II or the Ares II +.

Try finding your next cable in the classifieds, who knows you might get a bargain.

That's actually a good suggestion. On a few occasions, in pm discussions, i heard from people getting insane deals on cables in head fi classified. While daps get dated quickly and iems market constantly updated, cables like wine only get better with time and you can use it for years. Good investment in my opinion, especially if you can get a great 2nd hand deal.

and when you switch L/R sides of the cable, the issue follows the cable or stays with earpiece?

I would start first by getting Deoxit contact cleaner gel, see if that going to help.
