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

Here is another custom option from XINHS for those who like them thick. It is basically the two coppers (bright and dark) from the copper/silver hybrid in 8 core. It was something custom I asked for, not sure if it will be a listing in the future as he said it was a bit difficult to make due to the thickness. Also pricier as it is 2 $20usd cables.

Looks pretty unique. I guess he could list a 4-core version of that cable. Should be easier to make.

I do have another cable idea for him. But I will wait until I get my first batch first.

It is to combine the pure silver + blue copper into a hybrid. Basically a cheaper version of cable A5 (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000158772005.html ).

Specifically this blue cable: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001843312645.html
and this pure silver cable: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002042765922.html

I have asked a couple times about this blue cable: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002327858353.html
He is very hesitant to talk about the actual material and why it is so expensive. I assume he manufactures it for someone else, but I am curious why it seems so expensive. If I could have a blue and silver combination, that would be the one. Same for NiceHCK's C24-2, their blue strands and SPC copper would look great.

And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I want to get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy

I'm looking into getting the Openheart 8 core cable (the kind that comes with the Openheart Resin should the cable version of the IEM be bought) to go with my S****R MT300 (in part because the MMCX cable that comes with the MT300 is one of a kind in my collection because of its unique lock-in screws and if it breaks I won't have any alternative that can use the screw design on the MT300). Would anyone kindly be willing to share their opinion on the Openheart cable I'm referring to, if they have it? In particular, how's the build quality?

They sell a variety of MMCX cables, was the issue with this particular one I've asked about? Either way, thank you for the heads up, and it's good to know that they seem to be willing to hear out disputes given evidence should something go wrong at least! :thumbsup:

Do cables really make a sound difference? I use to have an effect audio cable that was pretty expensive , maybe like $200 and i feel it did change the sound (in a good way) of my iem. When trying the stock iem cable and tripowin 16 core cable they sound the same but the effect audio cable pulls the mids bit forward and a bit of sparkle or transperancy in treble but i dont get why thatd be the case. Anyone ?

The 8 core 2 pin showed up today from China. Wish I had purchased a thicker cable. Here it is. These iems are Carolina blue with a purple face. I am debating if purple or blue would be better.

With XINS, he usually lists the strand size and I am sure if you ask, he would measure the 24 core for you. I have two 24 core cables and they are the same thickness as 16 core cables in that tight braid. But if you look at the listings, you will see the 24 core uses 0.5mm strands and 8 core is 1.0mm for the purple. The 4 core coppers are 1.5-1.7mm.
