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

It has the same 3.5mm connector so I would assume that they are made in the same place as the other cable.... This might be TRN's effort to distance itself from the previous cables by offering something of a different colour.
But, hopefully not the same soldering problem (or lack of). Anyone want to be a cable disector? :wink:

I really want TRN to succeed but that soldering fiasco is a huge error.

The cables may be more expensive than others on Ali, and I have bought quite a few, but Electro sells the real deal, handmade and top quality.
Most of the other sellers just sell the same cables from the same factories, with some modifications and generic plugs as per a person's specific order. Electo uses quality parts and quality cable and you know, you can really hear the difference.
I'm really "worried" about buying the same $10-$30 audio cables from different Ali sellers.

Should we just stick to one cable seller? NiceHCK, perhaps?

Please post pics when you get it. I'm looking for a pure silver cable for my TFZ NO.3. Now that I discovered this store on Aliexpress, I'm seriously considering a custom build. The build quality and materials looks stellar!

Wow! That sounds like it could be pricey. Is it possible to get something from them that has good build for $100US or less?
Edit:By pricey, I'm referring to the fact that you already have 4 of their cables. I just hope I can afford to buy 1!

Ha! Well, I resell and fund through my second business, so it's not like I have a stack of a dozen cables laying around :wink:

You can absolutely get something with a GREAT build for less than $100.

Here is my favorite cable under $100: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000007909452.html?spm=a2g1y.12024536.productList_48890756.pic_0

Be sure to request a smaller slider- the one that's on there is designed for 8 core cables.

If you don't mind non-Litz, you can spend even less: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32999961682.html?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.12.24d44b27IXfooO

If you purchase the second one, be sure to order plugs G, H or I, since those are a free $6+ upgrade over the standard plug on that build.

Also, I have a tendency to look for bargains. I think the 7N UP-OCC Litz copper/ silver wire was mis-priced on the site. I got an 8 core cable with TOTL hardware for $140.

Ok, thanks for the links and advice. Gonna hold out for the Aliexpress 11/11 sale. Maybe I'll be able to score something for a great price. One thing I know for sure...I'm not looking to spend more than the iem I'm connecting it to. TFZ NO.3 cost me $137 CDN, so looking for something less than that

My critique: for a 4 cores with fiber carbon finished jack and divider, eagle polished mmcx plugs pair better than frosted ones :wink:
