Looks like I got my turn for vogue cable Tour from Effect Audio...

need to wait longer, since My body is not felling so good.

my first impression is the build quality, Vogue series really show well build...

Maestro vs 165... The wire Braiding really being done seriously...

Conductivity :
Based on cable length 1,2 Meters :

Virtuoso : 172,8... 190,3...186,6...243 mOhm

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.

I'm not sure about this exact one. I have almost the same nicehck but 8 core and 2 pin. It's not bad but little bit thin and prone to tangling.

But for 20 bucks I'll recomend this one. Good thickness doesn't tangle, soft, mmcx connectors fit tight and secure, and it sounds good.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'd definitely prefer to buy something someone here has actually used and recommends, so I'll bookmark this.

Something I've noticed while looking around AliExpress is that delivery estimates seem to always be around 3 weeks or longer, regardless of shipping method. Is that typical?

It depends on where you live, and the type of shipping options you choose. I live in Canada and always choose Aliexpress Standard Shipping. It's usually included as the defacto shipping method, but even if not, I don't mind paying an extra $2-4 extra for tracking info. Usually listed as 15-30 days, but I've found the average to be closer to 15...at least to me here in Canada. YMMV.

This is a good cable. I own this cable in two pin. it's well built too. However, for your IEM I will suggest this cable : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000009633191.html?spm=a2g0o.store_home.productList_48890756.pic_3

This is cable no 196 from @hakuzen list. it is double the price of what is your current budget though. The seller is genuine and honest. you will get a generous discount if you put a reference of @hakuzen from head-fi while placing any order from this store.

ISN S8, Oriveti Affinity, ISN S4, Stock sony cable, Fiio LC-2.5C, PAPRI GS01, PAPRI GS01, PAPRI GM01. Have to return the Fiio LC-2.5D, good cable but way too detailed for my taste.

I’m not judging, but do you always heap them in a big spaghetti pile like that? How do you remove an earphone to listen to it, without it getting knotted up, pins potentially bent, BA drivers getting knocked around, etc?

Let’s see, what ear earphone do I want to listen to today lol?

idk, I usually just toss them all over my desk. Haven't ran into any troubles so far... Heck, I wish I could be more organized though.

Hey, that’s cool. If a method works for you and you’ve never had any tangles, then more power to ya!

Thank you for the recommendation. I'd be willing to spend more if the cable is indeed high quality. If I mention @hakuzen in the "Leave a message" section of the order they'll offer a discount?

Just place the order and don't pay by choosing any payment method. This way you will be able to generate your order pending payment. Now, contact the seller using contact seller option from your order. Mention the reference Hakuzen from Head-fi and the seller will adjust the invoice. you can pay the adjusted price then.
One more thing, this cable comes with Ear-guide or ear hanger by default which I find a bit rigid. You have to mention to him that you don't need ear-hangs. He refer ear guide as ear hangs
