What's the difference between BT3 and BT10?
What's the difference between BT3 and BT10?
I purchased 2 units of MMCX BT10 from 2 different sellers on AliExpress and believe it or not...both are wired OUT OF PHASE connected to my TinAudio T2. My T2 is perfectly IN PHASE connected to all my MMCX cables including the stock cable. I'm either extremely unlucky or TRN produce batches of BT10 that are wired OUT OF PHASE.
I did comparison between ZSN silver/purple and black/black and I didn't find any differences in sound between the two when I am using my trn bt3 bluetooth. The only thing that make a difference is when you use their original cable (brown vs clear), I can hear some differences in bass and treble primarily. Bass is a little bit tighter with the clear cable, treble decay?? is a little bit longer especially in cymbal sound and a little bit more detail also. I am mostly using my trn bt3 cable anyway so this differences is not really deal breaker or something.
The clear cable definitely is thicker than the brown.
I already have some acrolink wires and they are not very good, just OK. They don`t have elastic soft feel to them as being PVC coated.didn't find it yet, but sure it will show up soon.
however, if you are going to make your own cable, why not spending a little more in a better cable; for example, this acrolink wire, not so fancy, but good affordable quality:

6N OCC pure copper 19 strands x 0.1mm / core. 2 cores (per signal) is equivalent to 22awg. you'll end with a ~90mΩ 1.2m of 6N occ copper cable..
I have that exact cable in Cu+Ag (8-core) and it measures around 0.5-0.6 Ohm impedance per core (without jack/IEM ends), not very good. Also it is rather stiff-sided PVC coating.If it's worth doing.......
.......might as well get the good stuff.

yup, you are right. acrolink wire is budget, just ok. i think that most of the chi-cables we buy in ali, are made with acrolink wire (i'm locating the acrolink used wire of most of my cables, using appearance, size, and comparison of calculated with measured resistance).I already have some acrolink wires and they are not very good, just OK.

When using 1Cu+1Ag core together for one channel or ground, I got around 0.2-0.3 Ohm (my multimeter isn`t so HQ), which is quite good result though.
ZSN copper looks very soft (haven`t tried it yet). I`m probably spoiled by IT01 cable
That looks(feels) pretty nice and price isn`t killing. I wish I had seen that earlier, atm not going to buy but going to wishlist.edit: if you like ibasso copper look, this cable is thicker and softer than zsn's stock. got them for <$24, and measured 180mΩ.
There`s also this one if You haven`t tried yet, cheaper too: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Upg...003.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.1a622e0eiUZI94
I have a cable from Papri that sells that Acrolink wire. I don't know if it's the same brand that they used but Papri sure made a great cable! I ordered another from them and plan to order more after that. Papri rocks!yup, you are right. acrolink wire is budget, just ok. i think that most of the chi-cables we buy in ali, are made with acrolink wire (i'm locating the acrolink used wire of most of my cables, using appearance, size, and comparison of calculated with measured resistance). about the link i provided, found same wire in another shop and composition didn't match. so avoid.
Papri is same as acrolink. There was even acrolink paper along with mine.I have a cable from Papri that sells that Acrolink wire. I don't know if it's the same brand that they used but Papri sure made a great cable! I ordered another from them and plan to order more after that. Papri rocks!
Why?It doesn't look like it's a very good quality cable.
It's just my opinion on the cable appearance. I could very well be wrong. It was just an ignorant opinion and I'm sticking to it.Why? Solder points only at ends and braided nicely (not heat-twisted like KZ). Connectors look ok too. Don`t know about impedance though.
It's just a four core cable. Looks like the one that come bundled with 64-Audio iems.It's just my opinion on the cable appearance. I could very well be wrong. It was just an ignorant opinion and I'm sticking to it.
Something is seriously wrong with Gearbest... a couple days ago, they had three colors for the ZSN and now they have four!

A couple days ago, "Tyrian Purple" (I ordered), Medium Turquoise and Black.
Now they've also added, "Viola Purple".
What?
Is KZ adding new colors for this model?
