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

Yes, that wire looks superb, frozen and litz. I think it is PE sheathed, though.
I didn't mean this wire, but opaque sheathed (PVC, or Teflon, even stiffer) neotech up-occ wires, like this:

I'm using solid core up-occ wires, teflon sleeved, for some short and quiet interconnect cables and splitters
Heh. I used to use that cable in 24AWG for my pedal business.

I'm looking for the lowest resistance, black, 2-pin cable with memory wire under $50. They need to be 3.5mm ended unbalanced with 0.78mm pin diameter. Any suggestions?

Anyone have recommendations for a replacement for the standard "braided" Audeze cable that came with my LCD-X? I find it doesnt coil nicely, and I'd appreciate something that was either a thicker cable altogether, or had some sort of paracord sheath.

Don't know about the H16 or S16 but my S8 and H8 is very good. Much more cleaner sound with S8. H8 improved the treble area of few of my iems. No microphonics , medium soft. Not too soft.

Do you have a digital multimeter? If so would you mind measuring the resistance of your H8 and S8?

custom cable 175 is now in stock version: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000158772005.html (4/8 cores)

For S8, you can check my measurements of S16. Due to type (and thickness) of cores are identical in 8 and 16 cores versions, you can estimate that S8 has near double resistance (good enough, BTW).

So TRN is back with a NEW “tiger” cable.

They are proud that they fixed the “fake wire” problems with the previous generation of 6 and 8 wire cables.

However, when I evaluated the new tiger cable, I found yet more problems.

Part 2 (dissection and conclusion):

I think poor TRN is cursed making cables, and just can’t seem catch a break. Maybe next time they’ll finally get it right lol

Thank you for sharing! Do you know if it's cheaper to get the stock or custom?
It should cost the same, approx. If you are ok with stock cable, go for it. If you need extra length and/or other non-stock features, go for custom.

Anyone know why ISN Audio S4 (4 cores) cable is double price of the S8 (8 cores) ? shouldn't be the contrary?
Looks like the materiel is the exact same "Single Crystal Copper Sliver-plated"

The difference is mentioned clearly, 19 core vs 63 Core. S4 is just amazing . It's cable quality is too good even better than effect audio Origin.
