So, that's why some of the stuff seems to be more expensive than at my local store. Hmm now I know why

 

[superuser1]

I'm sorry for making some confusion, but the lyre acoustic cable that I meant was the one that came with the KPE. KPE stock cable

These are no where close to litz and they don't even mention its litz anywhere... cable 175 would be undoubtedly better in all respects IMH(humble)O

So any idea what's the material of their cable?

So...anyone have any suggestions for best cheap (under $40) pure copper or (if even possible) OCC copper litz / UP-OCC?

 

[hakuzen]

Anyone can help me identify these cables? Because I want to pair it with my IEM but didn't know which is which on hakuzen's list

if your exact cables are not found in my database, i've not tried them, and can't confirm the wire used.

Thank you. I just bought an Aeolus and with not much more to spend, Comet should be good enough for listening on the bike where I have to wear helmet. Otherwise, I don't shy away from wearing the biggest cans outside
You said 175 has better plugs compared to 210. How bad are 210 plugs? and is it the MMCX on 210 which isn't great or the TRS connection? Also it would be awesome if you could explain a bit more why the plugs on 210 aren't so great.

the plugs of cable 210 don't look bad quality. in fact, i guess they are better than most cheap chinese plugs. but plugs of 175 are more expensive, due to hard rhodium plating over gold plated beryllium copper. more durable, they are similar quality than top brands plugs.
just surf through taobao searching for plugs, and you'll find most of the plugs used in chinese cables, and their price.

Can anyone tell me which UP-OCC, frozen pure copper or pure copper litz, and single crystal copper 2-pin cables are the cheapest / best for the price? I'm looking for a good mainly pure copper cable for my incoming IMR Rah.

So...anyone have any suggestions for best cheap (under $40) pure copper or (if even possible) OCC copper litz / UP-OCC?

cable 192. imo, it's the best 6N OCC/UP-OCC copper litz cable below $40 in my list. ultra flexible and soft, check comments in my database. its price has been lowered a lot during last two days, matching the price of DIYing it. the link has also changed.

You guys noticed Aliexpress is charging Tax? What is that about. It would be very surprising to me if they report that tax to the US. Lol. Reason why my 175 cable was $170 was taxes. Some BS if you ask me. How can a Chinese web site be charging taxes and who are they gonna give that tax money to.?

So the coupon discount is not really a discount it seems. You do the discount to counter the taxes which seems like a made up way to charge extra to counter the coupon and X amount off for buying stuff. Lol. It is a freaking joke.

no taxes charged to spain here.
so the whole aliexpress site is charging taxes when buying from US? it sounds like another chapter of commercial war between US and China

EU buyers are living with VAT BS for years. Only difference is we're paying 20-ish % of value to the local customs on every order outside of EU over 22 euros
So you want to buy new DAP or phones whatever that's 400eu sir, and with taxes and DHL that would be total 520eu. Yay

 

[Devangel]

I'm a bit lost.... Like i said i have some wire from norne audio and i want to try another one for the fun and thank to Hakuzen for recommending neotech but i don't understand all the difference between, up-occ, cryo, litz... What is the best for my HD800 because i want to keep the clarity and resolution(i already noticed going from stock to the norne audio wire give me a more precise soundstage)

Depends how lucky you are, and how much customs staff decides your parcel is worth. Usually with cables and small articles no tax no problem.
