If this is true has to be one of the best deals if ever for a pure silver IEM cable. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000483223901.html?spm=2114.12010611.8148356.10.7063581dRXRx5F

The bottom quote concerns me with this cable though. Basically they're saying that the cable can be made any way they want too and they don't have to notify us of any changes. So in theory, is it unimaginable to think they could just make a cheap copper/silver plated cable and send it to buyers? I mean, to me they lost their credibility when they sold all of those cables with cores not even wired. If they'd try and dupe the public with fake cores, I can't think they'd morally shy away from using cheap materials as well.Screenshot_20191217-171024~2.png

yeah, saw this being advertised by a local seller, then saw that it was an 8-core TRN. Never again.

Can anyone recommend a 2 pin cable with mic? Looking for a cheap-ish replacement for the Custom Art cable, which should be a 0,78 as far as i know. My budget would be around 25 eur/usd.
My main contender now is a OKCSC cable here. Also looking at TRN as a brand, since they seem to be liked here, but they only seem to have the real cheap (6 euro) cables with mic...

Unfortunately i have a small bend in my connectors of my original cable, otherwise wouldn't think about replacing them. Just looking for a good cable that is a bit cheaper than the original custom-art one. In the end, the CA is a possibility as well, but for 50 bucks there should be better stuf on the market.

As tempting as it is, given TRNs shady track record with cables, I’m willing to bet there is an absolute zero percent chance of this being a true, pure, solid silver cable.

I mean, just look at their most recent cable (before this one), the tiger cable:

You know what they say “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is”...

Given that, I’ve actually been in the fine jewelry business for 30 years. If there was ever an audio cable I was fully qualified to analyze, it would be this one lol

I love my C16-3 and C16-1. Great cables!

The Faaeal Hibiscus cable is excellent as well. Unfortunately, it's only available with a 2-pin end (for now, anyways).

DSC06819.JPG So I now have the complete set of all ISN cables. H-16 S-16 C-16 C4 S4 and S8 H8..

Will do a bit of a comparison among these when I have the time.

I remember a while back when I was chatting with Jim at NiceHCK. He was asking me what cables I was using for his F3. I told him I was using a thick pure copper cable and even showed him what I was using. So happened to be the ISN C-16.

A month later. What you know. They get their own version of a 16 core copper cable. Also called C-16. Coincidence?Hmmm.

I need to buy a replacement cable for my Final E5000 IEMs. I don't really want to spend more than US$20, so I took a look at AliExpress and was overwhelmed at the options. I did find this, which looks good: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32953432742.html

Should I just go with that, or are there better options? For reference, the E5000's default cable is silver plated and has a 3.5mm plug (although I'll likely get a cable in 2.5mm, since both amps I use offer balanced output).

Thanks in advance for any advice.
