Does someone here know a decent cable similar to this under 20$?
It's the cable that came with my T3 plus.
I really like how lightweight and soft is this, but the slider doesn't work and i don't really like the color.
Sorry for the bad pictures.

Are we due an Ali sale anytime soon?
Want to stock up on a few balanced cables, but in no hurry.

Anyone tried any of the TRN cheap modular cables and have any opinions?

I am a big fan of the Dutch RU Connected RCA and Digital cables. Not because they sound better than anything else I owned or tried - nope, I am not a cable believer - but because of the fit and finish. They look gorgeous. Not the cheapest in a general sense, but still cheap and very affordable compared to the majority of branded audio cables
24,95 euro for 1 metre analogue RCA cables, 19,95 euro for a 1 metre optical cable and a 1 metre digital coaxial cable

Just be aware the total length of the plug + adapter is longer than usual. Okay at home, but a PITA for mobile use.

Looking for a cable that suits the colour of my TRI STARSEA. It should be twisted, not braided.

Any recommendations?

How about either of these? 2 core silver plated single crystal copper (on my list for the next sale)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003296071605.html

I haven't tried their 2 core cables. The 8 core ivipQ cable I got from the march sales, sounds as good or better than the Starsea stock cable, but handles better.


My Starsea has one of these on it. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003274370885.html

I love the twisted thing, but I would like to know the difference in thickness between 2 and 4 cores (I usually prefer the 4 ones)

From what I've seen, the majority of 4 core cables are braided between jack and splitter. Then two twisted-pairs past the splitter. If you want to compare thickness, then look at product photos that include connectors those will give you a relative scale. I only have one twisted 4 core cable, that was included with the Olina. It is only available separately with mic, and the grey wouldn't match Starsea.

Looking for some advice here
I'm thinking of modding some Grados to use removable cables. Should I use 3.5mm connectors, MMCX, or 0.78mm? Looking for the option that'll give me the most compatibility in the future, and of course ease of installation.

I'd check first and find how much space you have in the shells, no point buying connectors to find they won't fit. I'd also check what type connectors over-ears with replaceable cables use. That would be more robust and you could buy it stock.

eg: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001642424244.html

That's not a recommendation, just the first thing I found searching for headphone cable on AE.

hello, looking for some cable recommendations. source is a qudelix 5k, ldac 660+ from my s22u phone. my customs are alclair studio3 triple with a 2 pin recessed connection. https://alclair.com/product/studio3/ Three Balanced Armature Drivers Three Way Crossover 104 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz (100mV) 110 dB sensitivity at Peak (100mV) Three Bores -26 dB noise reduction 20Ω impedance at 1 kHz (my cable is thinner, with a memory wire. not the braded pictured)
Now I had them made with the connector at the bottom, vs the normal location to work better under a full face motorcycle helmet. Cable needs to have no ear hook or memory wire. thinking of going 2.5mm for fidelity, but not sure the battery impact on long days on the motorcycle. the cable I would prefer to be black, or dark to not stand out so much. thinking flexible and tighter weave or something, so it slides under my helmet easy, and also under my jacket collar, since the dac is in an inside jacket pocket.
thinking of picking up a cable or 2, sound quality is important, budget say under $100, closer to $50 would be better.

I have a few bookmarked on aliexpress, that were recommended her in the past. just not sure how the feel, flexibility, things like that are. XINHS and Ivipq both can make any without the ear hooks.

thanks so very much for any help, I greatly appreciate your time.
