Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

Also, I wanted to mention that the TRN cables are legit.

All 8 cores soldered properly, and I tested the metal as 95% pure silver. A very well made and impressive cable. Very unlike TRN, that’s for sure!

Thanks a whole bunch for this, it came just at the right time for me. Only last week I realized I prefer silver with some tube amps despite preferring copper with everything else. So now I've got my 7 first silver cables coming, 6 for iems and one for d7200.

Maybe you should start an asr-style review site for cables to determine their silveriness or how metal they are in various other ways.

Hakuzen kinda does asr like things already for cables, although he doesn't dismantle the cable to verify the exact materials that the cable is made out of and you visit his thread mostly to find out the impedance of the cable.

I still wonder if he'd make a useful collaboration with Slater somehow to make a thread where you can not just see the impedance, but check what the cable is truly made out of in a single thread... I'd imagine it'd be a very long distance relationship however.

That would be this thread. I’ve always published my teardown results in this thread for all cables that I’ve done.

I know what you mean though. You mean a dedicated thread just for cable analysis.

Hakuzen style.

I mean there's gonna be a more, concise way to put all your research. In a way that is easy to browse through all of your cable research so far. Like a post that's constantly edited with all the new findings.

Edit: Although I may be overstating its importance for all I know.

Can someone recommend a well rated low resistance cable 2 pin 3.5mm that ships from North America? Like something on amazon, either pure copper or pure silver. Don't want to wait long for international shipping

Hello guys. I've following the thread but I'm quite lost and in the middle of a dilemma what to buy.

I would like to buy a balanced cable max 30$ with decent quality. I know it's not much but probably there should be sth for that.

What would you recommend?

Hey all,

I just purchased this cable and was curious if anyone has one?

It looks to be high quality litz copper 8 wire for $30, and I just had to give it a shot. Now for the wait. . .
