Happy shopping fellas. Sales start NOW. Go for what you think is a deal. Get them cables. It is the one time of the year they will be this cheap. There are other days when there are some specials but not quite like it is now. If you have your mind set on a cable. Go for it. I expect plenty of pics.
See now this is the ultimate question. Will a cheaper cable be better than this other cable. My own experience with these cheaper cables. To be honest there is a lot of grey area here due to synergy with a particular iem and ones own preference of sound signature. Some might want warmer tone some might like a more brighter tone for example. Regardless of how a cable measures.
These cables are cheap enough to get a few and experiment with. I noticed BA based iems has more effect from cable swapping but a dyanmic one can have some subtle changes based on the cable as well.
And the fact that we all have different iems. So ultimately as crazy as this sounds. $20< for a 8 core cable be it SPC or copper variety. Buy a few and see for yourself. This is the only real way you will know. I can say this cable is better than that cable but for your iem I have no idea and anyone that says it is better or worse. Unless they tried that cable with the exact iem your talking about and has your exact likes in sound signature., how does one really know?
Set a budget for yourself. Get yourself a few cables. Experiement. Kinda fun actually.
I have 3 cables in my basket right now and I am sure there will be a few more once I am done. lol.
Is it possible to buy the braided 7n occ wire alone? I would like to make one cable myself, I think $100 is a bit much to spent on a cable for my ~$250 headphones..
So far I've found only the really thin braided ones.
I really love the IT01-ish style of cable, cant be so expensive and your measurements really impressed me.
not so luxury as yours (not eidolic or similar plugs and dividers, no shiny cables), but expect them being very well built and having superb materials.
i prefer to bet for hand made by skilled particulars (all my interconnect cables come from ghentaudio).

Thanks.
I had the same idea as you, bought a nice 2.5mm copper cable from NiceHCK ($15) and this adapter from Ugreen (both 2.5 to 3.5 and 3.5 to 2.5) and also one noname piece, unfortunately, neither of them works (Ugreen failed me for the first time) https://www.ebay.com/itm/UGREEN-Gol...h=item3d457ea508:g:HB0AAOSw9N1VkiCp:rk:1:pf:0

New just in time for sales. 16 core pure copper for cheap. Don't know how much more cores add or detract to the sound but this is new item and sold for cheap compared to regular price in
I have a couple of these from Hck, and I think they are quite good. I have a pair on my CL2's. A co-worker came by my cubicle the other day and was completely wow'ed by the cables, of course never mentioning the RHA's. These are pretty cheap but well built and with good sound. NICEHCK MMCX/2Pin Connector 3.5/2.5/4.4mm Balanced 8-Core High Purity Copper
I suspect the previous post with the 16 cores is the same stuff with added 8 more cores. "Don't know how much more cores add or detract to the sound... "
