my iem is moondrop aria 2021. i have a cable xinhs SPC 2 core,

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMgQR1l

I paired this cable with moondrop aria, it turned out to be very good and synergistic, Sound Qualiity.

This cable is also a stock cable from the Blon A8 Priometheus.

But, unfortunately the connector pin from the xinhs cable can't fully fit into moondrop aria 2021. only 3/4 can into my aria, so it can be dangerous if not careful.
And I decided not used it again, and look for a replacement for the SPC cable.

I'm looking for best budget SPC cable under 22 usd.

I just found 3 budget SPC cables :

1. trn t6 cable,

2. Cable tri through,

3. Cable KZ 8 core 784 silver blue,
(whose connector I will replace the re-connector with a 2pin 0.78mm rockstone connector.)

4. Cable Tripowin Zonie 16 Core,

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOhMHKX

5. **** 16 core

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNdxa2L

Kbear, nicehck, etc

which is the best SQ (Sound Quality) of those budget SPC cables from your experience? If there are other SPC cable recommendations, which are better than this, please let me know. thank you very much.

If can give me the link or pic.

No idea about the rest but I have tri through and KZ 784. I do think Tri through is a great quality cable regardless of price, no issues with the sound.

One I use for my QDC iem, the other for 2pin iem. No way to compare XD.
hello,
does your Tri Through last longer than a few months?
mine became a darker color and stiff after a 2 months or so,

Next smaller Aliexpress sale is coming up. Saw this cable mentioned lately and it is at a good price again

US $37.74 31%OFF | XINSH 4 Core 5N UPOCC Single Crystal Copper Upgraded Cable with MMCX/2PIN/QDC/TFZ 2.5/3.5/4.4mm for KZ TINHIFI T2 BLON BL01
https://a.aliexpress.com/_msZkABH

$27 is a great price for the stock version by the Unnamed One but $29 customized by XINHS is also great.

Ok this is the KBEAR Inspiration-C 4N cable. Currently on sale on Ali for $45, though I got it on Shopee for $30.

I keep telling myself not to go for the chonky ones, but this exceeded the weight of my current XinHS 8 Core Copper/Silver mix (A1 on Rikudou's database), making it my heaviest cable. This is a copper rope XD. Hardware seems similar to the ShallnotbeNamed 7N chonky copper cable. Thanks to the generous amounts of heatshrink, it doesn't actually feel uncomfortable on the ears....so far. Decently soft for something this thick

Here is a picture of it (left) next to my favourite copper cable from XinHS (right, The TRN copper). It's like the antithesis of the XinHS copper, very rough-looking vs very smooth-looking.

Impedance ranges from 0.08-0.10 ohm on all 4 channels. This cable is cheating by being this thick though.




Additionally, an old favourite, the KBEAR Rhyme. 0.28 ohms. Looks like a thinner lighter version of the Linsoul Tripowin C8. Decent cable.

White crane is 7N cable while this is 4N cable. This looks like it would be heavier than whitecrane too.
do you have the whitecrane/xinnhs to compare with your copper cable?

I also have a Tri Through & Faaeal for a reference point,
