Now that we're using funky materials, what about cables with wheat?

Surely wholegrain is good for sound XD

Darn it! I can’t have gluten.

I had to order one of these in 8 cores. It looks like a beast of a cable.

Haven't seen this store before has anyone got anything and recommend them?

This cable turned up today and was a very pleasant surprise. Nicely made and no carbon fibre on display.

It's my thickest cable but also my lightest and softest. It's the cable equivalent of jogging bottoms it's so comfy.

Sounds great too. Went straight from a fully burned in hulk to this out of the box and it held its own once it warmed up. Gets a thumbs up from me.

Hey guys, just a heads up - alot of NiceHCK's cable are going to be ~50% off on the 24th. I'm probably going to force my wallet open for the C16-3 copper and a pair of KBEar Rhymes (back to $15).

I paid way less than that for the C4-1 a couple of months ago so think they've put the prices up to make them seem cheap when apparently half price. Its a decent cable for less than $80 any more and I think is too much for it compared to what else you can get.

Nicehck may be ok for $30-$40 cables but there are better brands to spend your money on when you start getting to around $100+. My Nicehck upocc that was $80 (currently $125) turned up with a bent 4.4mm connector so was unusable but they didn't seem to care. I'd honestly recomend a manufacturer with better QC & CS like Penon, Dunu, ISN etc. So in the unlikely event you have an issue they will actually deal with it and you won't be throwing your money away.

I gotta admit NiceHCK has been dropping the ball lately. Our good buddy Dannybai here on headfi order a bunch of cables from them and he never got any of them even though it says it was delivered. Of course NiceHCK isnt going to do anything about it. Unfortunate.

To be fair though it was during the peak of the shut downs in the US so who knows what happened to them cables.

There's not such a big deal here. They made prices up and now they show them as %50 off.

I purchased c16-3 for 20 dollars a month ago. So there's a slight amount of discount...

I kinda guessed that they increased the prices to make it look more attractive, but I've never seen the C16s for less than 30. However tho, thanks for pointing out that QC thing, gotta reevaluate my cart now.

Oh man and here I thought I was at least gonna get a real good deal on c16-3s... Was that price for only the NX7 termination or was QDC/2pin also included? Cos I remember seeing a separate listing for the NX7 cables for cheaper.

No, I think the price is the same regardless the connector but it differs when you want to buy with different types of plug. 4.4 one which I also purchased was the most expensive plug type.

New cable day!

niceHCKs version will be a $1 cheaper during sales day. Get one of them Rhythm cables from KBEAR those are a steal at the price.

I mean if you buy 100 of the NiceHCK cable, you "save" 100 usd

These cables are way better than the standard 8 core cheapos from aliexpress. Might have to snap up a few sets during sales.

These are crazy good deal for the price. KBEARs version of the UPOCC Blocc cables for $50 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000352746675.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000023.21.39cb6db0YpUatm

This is my review of the BLOCC cables from NiceHCK since KBEAR uses the same OEM as NiceHCK I see some cables on their site being cheaper vs NiceHCK and visa versa. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/ni...s?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.244a3e5fQCfRcx

I finally just took delivery of a killer cable for a killer deal! The build quality is perfect, and it feels very solid with a bit of heft. This cable is also dead limp, so it lays perfectly straight. I am stunned at the quality of this cable for only $30!

Check out the quality of this wire!

AK **** 8 Core Upgrade High-end Single Crystal Copper Cable

Just a follow up, about this cable. I have not found a better all copper cable, regardless of price. This cable lays straight and stays limp, and is just a joy to use. I highly recommend this cable if you are looking for a good copper cable, that will give you all the benefits of pure copper, with zero negatives. This cable has a well balanced sound and I have it paired up with my Lyra II and love what I am hearing. This cable is the definition of a perfect copper cable.
