I ordered the 8-core 175 in Blue, as well!

And yes, I can confirm that the discount codes cannot be stacked on top of each other. I think I got the shop coupon code + $5 discount also.

I just bought two 175 cables in 4 core for $90 each (one mmcx and one 2-pin). The price was the result of the store coupon + 5% Hakuzen discount.

You're right. Sorry, I meant 5%.

Oh i was using my shuore Tapes today with my 9038s stuck in my hiby R3..

.. well i still know the first impression that i had of them when i was in the post office, plugged them in 9038s hiby combo and had my cable 174 8 core silver..
it drilled a hole in my ears and nearly caused bleeding so i had to turn down the 4-5khz on the crap hiby eq...

ok i had them with my also blue super awesome looking cable 175 and the sounded amazing .. bass was dry jawkicking
and awesome pleasurable highs ... ok i wanted to check how much db i lowered the 4khz in the EQ.. and the EQ was off... ehh ok .... wow thats a difference then.

TL/TR i guess i was a bit perplexed and didnt expect this with the tapes...174 caused earbleeding

So since no one seems to care to help me out, I just going to assume the kpe cable is the 175 & the kbear spc is either 053/052.

"Looking for a bigger soundstage, with a more defined yet impactful bass/subbass". both accomplish this. ISN C16 is warm and bass heavy compared to both. i like 210 bass even more than 175, but they are near. quite detailed bass textures, way tighter bass than C16. boosted bass of Kanas Pro gets benefited of this bass cleanliness surely.
"I wish for a bit more detail and soundstage in the highs". both accomplish this, big difference compared to C16. in this regard, 175 is the clear best, although 210 is very good as well..

Thanks very much for the info, hakuzen! Always honoured that you share your expertise with us here on headfi. I'm going to have to keep both cables in my Ali cart a little while longer though. While waiting for your response, I ended up pulling the plug on a Radsone ES100 on Amazon.ca for a birthday gift to my son when he turns 18 in January. I am already gifting him a KXXS that I won from BGGAR on his 11/11 raffle, as well as an upgrade Nicehck C16-3 cable and some eartips. It wasn't until last week that I was told that his phone doesn't have a headphone jack, so I had to scramble to find something that he can plug his new gear into. So I bought him an ES100. But now, there's not enough money left over to buy a new cable for myself. It's no big deal. Aliexpress has sales all the time, so maybe around Boxing Day I will be able to afford cable 175. For now, my kid comes first.

What is the cable spec?
by looks, IMO, More on ISN H16...

I posted their picture yesterday. Kbear 8 core is spc while the lyre acoustic seems to be hybrid that's similarly looking like the 175

Seems to be 22 AWG litz 6N OCC while

Not sure what the AWG is but clearly this is 7N occ 1%Gold/99% silver

I'm sorry for making some confusion, but the lyre acoustic cable that I meant was the one that came with the KPE. KPE stock cable

 

[bogginhead]

Can anyone tell me which UP-OCC, frozen pure copper or pure copper litz, and single crystal copper 2-pin cables are the cheapest / best for the price? I'm looking for a good mainly pure copper cable for my incoming IMR Rah.

You guys noticed Aliexpress is charging Tax? What is that about. It would be very surprising to me if they report that tax to the US. Lol. Reason why my 175 cable was $170 was taxes. Some BS if you ask me. How can a Chinese web site be charging taxes and who are they gonna give that tax money to.?

So the coupon discount is not really a discount it seems. You do the discount to counter the taxes which seems like a made up way to charge extra to counter the coupon and X amount off for buying stuff. Lol. It is a freaking joke.
