Penon audio selling a 15$ SPC its a good one for that price.Hi, can anyone suggest a good cable under $15 for **** (MMCX) and C10 (0.75mm). Thanks in advance.

Jim has always been prompt at replying to and resolving my queries.Man, I'm still having issues with my last order with NiceHCK and Ali. I purchased and paid for 4 cables over a week ago, and they still haven't even been dropped off for shipping yet. I can't seem to get anyone to respond to any inquiries, either. They gave me a tracking number days ago, but going by that China Post has never received anything to ship. Have you guys had any issues in the past week or anything?
Trn 8 core mmcx cable is good but mmcx plugs are too tight, ordered one ànd now not fitting I my Fiio f9 pro. Earhook area is also not soft.Okay. Is it better than TRN 8core cable? @Palash
Got it. This penon cable looks good.Trn 8 core mmcx cable is good but mmcx plugs are too tight, ordered one ànd now not fitting I my Fiio f9 pro. Earhook area is also not soft.
isn audio C16, from penon, has just arrived.
added to my list. cable 150.
dc resistance (mΩ) and total weight: 78..83..73..86..[52.9g] (great conductivity, not so great weight).
structure: 0.08mm*19(27awg,OD:1mm)*16c [4c/signal:21.3AWG]. total OD:~6.5mm.
it's like 2 cables in 1. double width, weight, and conductivity. soft, reasonably flexible for its width (it doesn't get tangled, but it's not as flexible as thinner cables). no microphonics
no ear guides, simple heat shrink plastic as strain reliefs (it could be better, but given the rigidity of the cable, there is low risk of break due to tangling). metallic matte splitter, polished chin slider (it looks like hard plastic).
clean sound.
i'm not burn-in believer, but some stuff, like this cable, seem to need some time (from 5 to 20 minutes) to break.
i'll might try S16.
i've made some A/B with cables 150 (copper), 125 (copper), 130 (spc), 052 (spc,golden), 053 (copper,brown); great conductivity all of them. xduoo x20 balanced output, last stock firmware, magaosi k5, FLAC 24bits 88.2kHz daft punk "random access memories" album.
difficult to find differences, they are very subtle. i wouldn't pass a blind test surely.
cleanest sound is cable 125 (the best sounding to me, from bass to treble), but difference is minimum, and probably due to brain money bias.
it might be brain bias, but i get very slightly more sub-bass rumble and bolder bass with copper wires, while some upper-mids and treble details are slightly better heard with plated copper wires.
i'd say cheap cable 053 is good enough if you seek for copper wire, and your iem resolution is not top-notch. more expensive cables can be justified if you have very clean and resolving gear, and don't mind to spend in order to get an small improvement.
for example, i do notice difference of cleanliness between 125 and 053 when using the above mentioned gear.
That`s freaking nice cable!The C16 is such a seriously good cable so far! It is so flexible considering how thick it is. No microphonics. This is one of the best purchases I have made in my 5 years of headphonedom. $50 WELL spent. Seriously good.

Thanks for these recommendations. I'm actually not so well versed with cable technicalities but would assume low resistance=better performance? Correct me if Im wrong in your kz cable post, numbers in bracket indicate impedance?https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NIC...3-5-2-5-4-4mm-Plug-MMCX-2Pin/32973046302.html (spc, could be right for C10)

i don't own them, but based on my experience, they should have same (or better) conductivity than trn or kz cables, while being thinner than trn. guess they'll have around 240mΩ dc resistance, better plugs, and you'll bypass the trn and kz shortcomings (check them at my list of cables for KZs
wo ho... it arrived.. H16 2.5mm
must break in it first..
first impression
its damn Thick. Compare to SLitz
Below with adapter mmcx to 2 pin
used with my TFZ King
and with my Polaris
will do full impression soon.
for now.... negative part is that MMCX is thick, can't put with Solaris, so I don't force it, afraid to break it
Got it. Thanks a ton for the information.numbers between parenthesis preceding the cable are my particular coding of the cables (it's easier to refer to a number than repeating model, description, etc.).
dc resistance (similar to impedance because cables use to have constant resistance through 20Hz-20kHz) values are the 4 numbers at the right (in mΩ). i add total weight, between [ ] for some cables
and yes, low resistance=high conductivity=better performance=less chance of balanced armatures coloring=symptom of better quality and/or amount of wire, plugs and solders..
