I thought we were strictly talking about the “silver plated” copper cables. A $5-$20 isn’t going to be pure silver.
Quick test for presence of silver is dip it in sulfuric acid. if it doesn't immediately turn jet black, it isn't silver.

a head-fier, @Lurk650 , is selling one now: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hifiman-400i-balanced-cable-2-5-trrs.891996/I am looking for something like this, but less pricey:

got the first one, 2.5mm 2pin version. its conductivity has not impressed me, neither build quality.This is a new cable from LZ. Crystal Copper 8 core. Sold at $59 on NiceHCK site. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...l?spm=2114.12010611.8148356.26.24dc581dZM7o4e
if i were you, i'd aim to the 7N OCC (pure copper) 4 thick cores cable, sold by many ali shops, instead of any mixed copper/silver.
wire used: 0.1mm*63(equivalent to 20awg) (OD:1.5mm) *4 cores.
it's superb. measures 57(L+), 59(R+), 53(L-), 64(R-) mΩ DC resistance. very difficult to beat that, it indicates the quality of wire, plugs, and solders.
pic:
yep. they both are. not so flexible than others, but conductivity is amazing.Is this the one you're talking about?

Also, do you know of a seller that has them with 2-pin connectors? The bulk of the ones I've seen are MMCX.
Edited to add: Is this it?

from my stock, cheapest one, great conductivity:Guys can you please suggest a pure copper cable either mmcx or 2 pin but not very expensive. Thanks
