Ok, so you guys aren’t gonna like this.
I just got done dissecting a TRN 8-core bi-color upgrade cable:
Core #1, silver wire, L+
Core #2, silver wire, R+
Core #3, silver wire, FAKE
Core #4, silver wire, FAKE
Core #5, gold wire, shared gnd
Core #6, gold wire, shared gnd
Core #7, gold wire, shared gnd
Core #8, gold wire, FAKE
This totally explains why the gnd terminal always had a way lower resistance than the R/L terminals on the TRN 8-core cables.
@hakuzen can back me up on that.
So now we have yet MORE TRN ‘upgrade’ cables that have wires connected to absolutely
nothing.
Folks, this is not an accident. This is not a QC fluke. Obviously this is intentional!
I am not happy at all.
I am going to expand my testing to include some KZ upgrade cables.
Unfortunately, I don’t own any of the KZ 8-core copper/silver bi-color cables, only the flat braided ones. So I’ll have to order some of the KZ bi-color cables to dissect and test. I will be testing a KZ flat-braided cable though.
We need to figure out what upgrade cables we can trust, and which ones we can’t trust. This is total BS.
