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

So far I have found him to the most honest seller on aliexpress. I once questioned him about the difference between the 8 core and 12 pure silver cable because the 12 core was just about the same thickness as the 8 core, he said they are the same thickness 1mm but the pvc is thinner on the 12 core so that it can fit in the 2.5mm connector. Seemed like BS to me but after take close up shots of the cables, it was exactly as he said.

The only thing you have is trust, if you don't trust him then don't buy from him.

So you're complaining about a $13 difference in price for a highly customized cable that in the end costs $40? Contact some of the other sellers and see what they charge you for customizations. I'll save you some time, lunashops wanted to charge me $40 more for the customizations that xinhs did for free witth the price of the listed item. And he was acting like he was doing me a favor while he was explaining this to me.

Also you are cherry picking from his cheaper cable options and asking for quite alot of customization and expecting alot. Think about if someone asked you to customize something to the extent of what you asked him and how much you would charge that person for your time and work.

He's not starbucks.

Im thinking you either didnt fully read what i said, which i understand as it was very long, or you just choose to ignore things i said. You're cherry picking things to respond to... I was talking about red flags, not about the price. The nonsense i was typing about the values was just to highlight how those red flags were made visible. Said id be willing to pay that if not for the red flag, and obviously based on what im saying i wont consider buying from him again unless this wire breaks and i confirm i'm wrong about the potential copper used, or if someone else confirms it. My initial request was just if anyone could confirm the wires being used, as if i could see it was all on the up and up, i wouldnt have even written any of that. A good portion of that was written to avoid some dolt thinking it was just about $10 and you still managed to do so lol

Idk about "alot", im just asking for a longer wire, and to combine two wires which he does on plenty of listings.

I'm not even in it for the customization, so no need to contact anyone else, that was just a bonus. I'm fine with my slew of various $10-15 cables. Sometimes people just wanna see if they can have a certain thing because itd be nice to have.

I did think about price due to customizations, and thats my point... i even said in my previous post that i have no problem paying for it if that was the reason given. Fact is instead of just tell me thats the price based on customizing and what not, he chose to say what he said about it.

The primary purpose of my entire post was to highlight that i believe yet another seller is labeling things as they choose to for the extra buck. That fact you're defending it without even the slightest bit of care about that is sorta gross.

I'm sorry, apparently I'm a dolt because yes I tried to skip the whining and incoherent rambling parts of your diary entry / essay. Don't need to read a back story of how you don't know post a link correctly.

It seems you edited your essay to be even more incoherent since the last time I looked at it.

What is your question?

Is your question...

"are the wires soldered?"
"is it really 7n copper?"
"is it really pure silver?"
"can someone else rip apart their cable so Useuhname can have peace of mind that his $10 8-core cable is legit?"

I'll try to help you out with some of these

Have to trust the seller's word or open up the cable to find out if it is what they say it is
Probably not
Probably not at that price, its most likely sterling silver
It'd be very nice of you to sacrifice one of your "slew" of $10 cables for the benefit of the rest of us.

Very expensive...those from Xinhs are the same and cheaper...for example, the graphene one from Xinhs cost me about $60 with the same configuration...

I'm apparently a dolt as well because it took me way too long to discover that he's a troll and I fed him along that journey of discovery ....

Should have guessed from the user name and lack of posts.

Meh live and learn.

Can never go wrong with a copper cable from xinhs.

I like the graphene cable but I think it pairs better with something thats highly resolving, its more relaxed and laid back in its presentation vs something like the silver cable. It doesn't pair so well with my Sony Z7m2 headphones for that reason.

I contacted XINHS about the 2 8core graphene cable you listed he said there the same material. So base choice on what one looks better to you. The gray one goes on sale often for around $60 so if you choice that one wait for sale.

New to all this need help! Bought the Tripowin Altea Cable qdc and saw it doesnt have a Left and right indicator . So that means it can be fitted any way?
Does one side have red on it? Red is the right side. Just noticed you said qdc in that case there should be a R depending on eye site can be hard to see. Last resort plug in one side and use balance control find out.

Sometimes, inexplicably, the same cable is $60 one week and $150 the next, but it's the same. Surely they know that there are easy trigger people and they take advantage of that.

Patience is rewarded...
