Speaking of alloy cables. This is 128 on Hakuzan list. This is the most recent cable I bought from last sales in September. I have to say this cable is crazy good for your money. It is basically the 125 alloy copper with a silver plating. What this does it adds even better detail over the standard 125. One of the best cables I have used on my Solaris. It is what I am using with it now actually. Never heard my Solaris with better imaging. Brings out the fullness of sound with no loss of any detail across the frequency. Currently my favorite cable. $60ish on sale. Worth every cent.

128 could be the one cable I buy for 11/11 for
DM6.

I’m thinking to buy 2.5mm balanced version and use it with a 3.5mm adapter to connect to my phone.
I plan to buy the upcoming FIIO BTR5 and use the 2.5mm jack with its balanced output.

So any good 2.5mm male balanced to 3.5mm female adapters for 11/11 ?

I am considering the Dunu adapter plug.
Any experience with this or better alternatives ?
I would like to keep price lower than end. Cheaper solid alternative would be good.

I have those Dunu plugs, they seem well built and do the job.
Definitely buy on 11.11 if you need good plugs.

Good news. If you decide to purchase cables at electro acousti, you can indicate "head-fi" or "hakuzen" words in the order to get a 10% off. Hold on payment till the seller adjusts the price.
Of course, I don't get any benefit, nor commission, I'm not affiliated to that shop (nor to any other one) at all.
I asked the seller for discounts for head-fi members, because they don't use to add discounts during Aliexpress sales.

I'm sorry, where is the store located? I've found it them on Ali express, do we use the code before purchasing?

Ok, basically. Place an order. Choose Web Money or Wire Transfer payment method. After that just don't pay it. Use contact seller on your order to talk to them. Wait for the store to adjust the amount (for discount) and pay after that. You can change payment method to credit card. So, no worry

Thank you for the info, looking forward to using them on the T88k

[QUOTE="Dsnuts, post: 15283487, member:

Another one worth considering is this one 130 cable. .I use this one on my AndromedaS and it sounds excellent on my Solaris as well.

[/QUOTE]

130 with Solaris is quite unique, the main highlight is Low volume listening, still have Micro detail & Dynamics.
I had 2 of these 130, different Jack 2.5 and 4.4...
main purpose was to do impression with DAP...
since adapter can / May make coloring...

Hi guys, i found this in Electro Acousti (AE shop) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33000585105.html?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.67.6e1950a9RqGIp3

Have any of you tried this? I read @hakuzen have covered the 4 core Au-Ag alloy 1% pure gold 99% pure silver version but didnt see this in his review. Please let me know if you guys have experience with this. Thank you soo much in advance my friends.
that cable is not in my list because i haven't tried it (reserved number 185 for it).
guess it uses this wire: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000007744883.html, and quality is comparable to the other up-occ cables.
and i think it is frozen 7n up-occ silver plated copper.
while Au-Ag alloy is mainly up-occ pure silver (not silver plated copper), cables 173/174 (4/8 cores) in the database.

yes, that's the usual method to allow the seller to make extra discount.
you can also add the words "head-fi" or "hakuzen" into the details text box of the item in your order when making it (this way the seller knows the discount to apply), instead of messaging them.

Thanks so much bro @hakuzen. Will do a bit more research on this. Really thanks heaps for your feedback.
