Personally, I stay away from cables with a mic or controller in the signal path for signal purity reasons. It doesn't make alot of sense to me to spend money for an upgrade cable that's using higher grade wire and connectors, just to diminish those sonic benefits by slapping a 30 cent controller with a mic in between.

Surely if the mic is on a separate wire it won't make a difference? I am fairly new to cable building but i have repaired one with a mic and that was on a separate positive wire. I guess the grounds are all attached to the same pole. Does that cause the interference? Or did i miss something? I wouldn't know. The button doesn't work anymore anyway. The mic does, but is crap and always has been.

Had various cables arrive last week.

KB Ear 4 core
KB Ear 8 core (maybe I should have gone for the rhyme 8 core?)
KB Ear 16 core

I had chance today to try the 16 core on a dog walk so can't really comment on audio quality differences, but quality wise all 3 are great.

I'm going a little crazy because I've been using my alpha Delta Ks3s for a while now. And Ive realised that the USBC Cable is significantly better than the 3.5mm ones. The instrument separation is better, it's much more technical, esp with songs that are very busy like through the fire and flames. Cymbals are sharper and clearer for example. Where's with the stock cable the cymbals sort of just are in the background. It annoys me a lot because I enjoy using the USBC cable but I can't use it for almost anything, like my PC or phone, but with the 3.5mm jack I like it way less.


Can anyone recommend a good cable for my KS3s? I was recommended some nice 100ish dollars pure copper cables by NiceHck ( looking at this
NICEHCK Blocc Cable 5N UPOCC OCC Copper Litz
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001022119240.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000023.7.36b261eff5hCw8 ), but I'm worried that copper might be inferior to SPC? although I'm pretty sure the $100 pure copper cables are probably way better than the stock or USBC cable I have.

Link: AD Ks3s ( http://www.lendmeurears.com/alpha-delta-ks3/ )
Link: USBC 2pin (0.78mm cable) http://www.lendmeurears.com/alpha-delta-8-core-silver-plated-copper-0-78mm-2-pin-cable-mark-2/
Link: stock cable http://www.lendmeurears.com/alpha-delta-8-core-silver-plated-copper-0-78mm-2-pin-upgradeble-cable/

One thing I noticed is that while both the stock and USBC cables (0.78mm 2pin) are 8 core SPC on the website, the USBC cable is significantly thicker and also made by a different manufacturer potentially.

Not sure if it was totally new but since last week nobody mentioned NiceHCK ForX cable. Saw it on new arrivals...

Just MMCX though.

My haul of cables from the recent sale came in today.
Got myself two Faaeal copper cables, KBEAR Limpid Silver cable and the two different UPOCC cables.

Apparently one the UPOCC cables here is silver plated based on some info digging and talking with multiple representatives. I'll have figure out if there's an slight difference between the two or if they just end up being the same cable but in a different braid style. I'll report back on my findings later.

Nice haul! Have fun experimenting.

Really nice cables. Chin slider on the Rhyme is the best I've had.

Cool I found a pound of enameled wire... Now I wonder how one is supposed to roll 152 or 304 strands of this together.

Machines son. (or cheap labour in china)

Also, is leaving the enameled wires otherwise naked to get the world's most flexible IEM cable as bad as an idea as I think it is?

You will probably get extreme amounts of RMI/EMI. Might be wrong though.

So basically it HAS to run balanced which I assume this IS it's main purpose. But I wonder is the enamel bad at shielding EMI?

I really have no idea how it works. Better wait for master slater or maybe the cable god hakuzen to help lol.

Running balanced with HPs/IEMs has nothing to do with EMI/RFI rejection though.
