I received the BGVP 6N 400 core earphones OCC cable 2.5mm today. Quality cable with 1 big flaw: no indication at all with connector is left and which is right (as far as I can see for now).

Is there a marking on the connector? Any type of marking that is not on the other side usually indicates Right.

Checked again: @Dsnuts you are correct! As shown in that picture there is a super tiny marking; perhaps my eyes are getting old Luckely I can confirm that I plugged them into the correct earpiece! nicehck M6 are enjoying these cables

can I ask where did you buy the first cable?

its an offline seller, he has online but local only.

Created a thread about it, but I think it can be interesting to share here too:

So which cables you guys ended up getting. I ended up getting 3 sets for me.

Everyone had this cable over a $100 even on sales day but found one vendor which had them at $85. Had to do it. I have high expectations on this one simply due to what people are charging on the express.

Then I got one of these too.

Price is back up to $100 today but got it for $68. I got expectations of this one as well. Will most definitely report how they do.
Also got a pure copper OCC from NiceHCK which ended up costing $45 for me

@Dsnuts
I also bought the cable with the two-tone mmcx connectors(2nd pic) from 11.11, mind sharing your feedback about them? Haven’t heard mine yet.
Btw, does iem cable burn-in make any difference?

 

[Dsnuts]

Don't know which cable your referring to. This one?

I find this to be slightly stiffer than i would like but the sound is very clean with this.

This one.

Your getting your monies worth and I like the cable especially on sale. Sonically it is excellent for BA earphones and is made well but the cable is a bit on the stiff side but not terrible. Not as pliable as some of the others I have posted. It sounds great with multi BA earphones.

It synergizes well with both my IT04 and the 12BA earphones. Cable is well made with solid connectors. Don't know which earphone you are planning to use it with but it is a good pure copper cable.It fit a bit loose on one of my earphones but I managed to get use out of it. It is a good buy for certain. I believe it is on sale right now for $68.

Great! Thanks. Pairing it with an iBasso dx120 DAP(analytical-ish sounding) and Oriveti Primacy iems (2BA/1DD hybrid)

From my post in Solaris thread

I got this Lunashop silver cable from @Dsnuts recommendation and...this thing literally doesn't work, as in there no sound coming out from one side of it...

I'm not sure if I will even bother sending it back to China. The cable does look nice though, and supple too.

Just left it here for anyone who considering buying it. I mean I doubt this happen on all of their cable but still...

On closer inspection there actually a sound coming out from it but the volume is just really really low (like 10 on one side and 1 on other) anyone got any idea what might be wrong with it?

bad (cold or near broken) solder, probably at jack. try to move a bit the cable near the mmcx plugs, and near the jack, so you can locate where is the bad solder.
then, you can try to take the plug/jack apart, if possible, re-solder and re-protect (if it's the jack). or you can ask to the seller for a total refund (by sending back the cable) or for a partial refund while keeping the cable (if you can solder it). be ready to make a video with a microphone, to state the huge level difference between sides.

Sorry to read about your experience. In this case I would actually contact Lunashops. See what they have to say. Even if you have to spend a bit to return the cable, that cable will be worth your efforts. I have never had any issue with any of the Lunashops cables I have bought, 5 different cables total. In this case a defective cable is a defective cable. Even if you got it repaired locally your gonna have to spend probably even more to fix it so spending a bit on shipping to send it back kinda sucks but in the end what that cable does for your Solaris will be worth it.

I have returned an earphone back to China at one point for a connector repair and it only cost me less than $15 using my local USPS. Look at it this way. You have any idea how much a pure silver cable cost from the boutique shops? Or anything comparable? Alos pure silver litz is $250.

The wait times is what really sucks however.
