Can someone point me to LONGER meters version of this bulk cable: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Type2-Copper-Litz-8-Core-Pure-OCC-Silver-Plated-Bulk-Wire-For-Custom-DIY-Shure/32917129161.html

Need about 3m for making my own braiding.

Edit: aaah, found it myself: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Type2-Copper-Litz-8-Core-Pure-OCC-Silver-Plated-Bulk-Wire-For-Custom-DIY-Shure-Fostex/32917073423.html

in the case you are not able to find longer threads of the wie you look for, you can ask for 2 units of 1.5m, for example: the seller usually ships a continuous 3m wire (but message them before, to confirm it).
btw, have you checked price for similar litz wire, but 0.1mm*19*8cores instead of 0.1mm*7*8cores? way better total conductivity, while staying flexible..

edit: oh, i guess you plan to make a 16 cores cable by braiding yourself..

Actually no, I want to make 8-core braid but maybe You are right and I should look for something else. But it is hard to find super-soft PVC cable and these along with this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/PAP...OCC-Wire-Hifi-Audio-Line-For/32882620191.html
...but with that one I would have to buy it X2 and dismantle every core plus it seems to have "memory" for shape by factory heat-braid.

Also, thinking about getting this wire with 19 strand core: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LIT...-PE-leather-19-core-OD-0-7mm/32793801566.html

yea, you are right. it's difficult to find that super-soft wire.
this is 0.1mm*19, but sleeve is not transparent, and doesn't look so flexible: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/PAP...ne-Cable-Audio-Line-AUX-Wire/32867317898.html

I am kind of disappointed with Jim from hck
He's been extremely unresponsive. I have been messaging him over ali but he never answered me back .
Maybe something happened to him or he's just too busy or he simply doesn't care since I am not buying kilobucks gear.

Maybe you guys know a way to get in touch with him

I had a similar experience with him after they sent me a copper cable with faulty mmcx connector. I got fed up with his antics - delays in getting responses and he kept moving the goal posts with me wanting to return cable. I was outside of my dispute period, but in the end I took my complaint up with AliExpress who decided in my favour and gave me a 90% refund.

If you’re dissatisfied with the aftersales service then my advice would be to open a dispute or contact Ali directly to get a resolution.

had issues with many sellers at aliexpress, Jim included. most of them don't help at all, although it's their fault. and ali customer service tends to protect the sellers more than the customer, unless you enclose a good proof in the dispute.
that's the caveat when getting low prices. if i can get similar price at ebay, amazon, etc. i choose these platforms instead.
