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

@RikudouGoku I wanted to ask for your rec between Tri Through and KBEar Rythym for the upcoming 11.11 sale

I prefer the Through more in terms of looks, build and feel, while it also measures a bit better. I will probably get more of the Through cable if I do get more cables.

Hi!

First of all, sorry for my bad english.

I want to use THIS product as a 5m extension cable. Please tell me how to properly solder this cable to TRS connectors (male, female) for the best signal/sound?

Maybe as follows?

Left channel:
(1) gold & (1) silver to L+
(1) gold & (1) silver to GND

Right channel:
(1) gold & (1) silver to R+
(1) gold & (1) silver to GND

For now, I will connect THIS cable to this extension cord. In the future, I will probably use other headphone wires with this extension cord.

PS: I read Slater's POST about my TRN 8-core cablе. How should this cable be properly soldered by the manufacturer? (4) gold to GND, (2) silver to L+, (2) silver to R+?

Thanks!

I have three TRN T3 cables currently, and so far, I haven’t had any problems with them . That being said, the KBEAR Limpid/NiceHCK silver litz cables seem better made, and they are of normal length (the T3 is short).

I've got 2 TRN T3 cables and aside from the strong coil on the earhooks, they are fine. work well with TRI I3. Personally found them to be mnore resolving than the NiceHCK 4 core silver.

My TRN T3 cable (mmcx) has a slight issue with the left connector. In certain positions it loses connection and i have to correct it. When you swivel it its much looser than the right side.

Does anyone know how to make it's fit tighter?

just got my TRN T3 cable, had a mixed feeling on it. it has good dynamic range bright open sounding and wide soundstage, but it was too "in your face" for my taste, feels like watching huge tv in front of your face, it also sounds dry and lacks of refinement thus sounded so dry

 

[povidlo]

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

Just MMCX though.

Based on description, seems like this cable was specifically made to improve vocals on Xelento. Quite niche!

Hi guys, what is the difference between a pure silver cable and an SPC in their effect with the iems' frequencies? Thanks

I have had similar issues with other MMCX cables. I take the inner sleeve of the MMCX connector on the cable and gently pinch it tighter with a pair of small pliers. Be careful, the connector is in two halves; you can end up overlapping them and damaging the connector (like shown in the picture). Make sure the central pin is not bent.

Thanks but the mmcx jack on the TRN T3 works differently.

It has a ring around the base and the inner sleeve is solid.

Any idea how to make it tighter?

I'm relatively new to using an aftermarket cable for anything more than aesthetics. I just recently picked up a couple, balanced (2.5mm), 4 core, 5N/7N silver/copper cables and they've made some incremental improvements, to some of my collection.

I see for the pending 11.11 sale, KB Ear is discounting their balanced, 2 Core UPOCC Single crystal Copper cable to $40 USD.

I've got a rudimentary question: can a 2 core really be a balanced connection, as you end up with a single core for each side ?

To elaborate, if this image represents a multi strand, single core:

There wouldn't appear to be any isolation between the strands, for the L/R [edit] +/- signal, for each, individual, earpiece.

A balanced stereo signal requires 4 'cores'.
Two would only be able to supply mono.
Three can be 'single ended' stereo.

Balanced stereo cables which appear to be made from two wires twisted are actually two coaxial cables (the insulated cores being the hidden extra two required to provide a full stereo balanced signal). So the apparently single 'core' going to each ear piece actually has two bundles of wires, the visible outer sheath, and the hidden inner core (separated by insulation).

I think I’m going to get a couple of these silver cables to try out. Anyone have any experience with them already?

Wonder what the difference is between that and their litzps cable. Maybe its just the 8 core version of it?

I’m hoping it’s a longer and better constructed version of the TRN T3. On some IEMs, I find the T3 slightly more transparent than the NiceHCK silver 4 core litz.

am actually choosing between these two, does the T3 reduces the bass more? am just looking to make the bass tighter but not reduce its quantity, because I tried the ISN S16 which is an SPC and it reduced the bass significantly, like more than 50%. LOL
