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

Tripowin Jelly for about $30 on sale. Supposedly Silver-plated OCC+Alloy Copper Graphene+OCC Mixed. As soft as 16 cores from other brands like kbear and nicehck. Looks wise it looks pretty pale and sickly lol. I wonder if XinHS would do configurations like this. Consistent 0.25ohms on all channels.

After lurking around here for a while I ordered one of Xinhs modular cables for a Hifiman HE1000 v2 (2,5mm). The cable looks brilliant and the adapters click solidly into place. Unfortunately sound only comes through on the left side of the cable, while the right side is dead. Same result with all adapters (6,35 / 4,4 / 2,5). Anyone got any advice on how to diagnose this? Have no doubt Xinhs will take care of it - just have to figure out where the fault is.

You can check continuity with a multimeter but if its the same issue with all the adapters its probably a soldering joint in the right side.

TACables Obsidian $15-$25 depending where you get it. Very well made cable for the price. Hardware is made of tough plastic and not the generic ones you see on other chifi cables. The tubing seems to be good quality too, doesn't feel slippery. Moderately soft. I love that is looks like one of those graphene cables, but its 5N OCC & litz silver plated 5N OCC mixed. Impedance is 0.13ohm, impressive considering its not thick or heavy at all. I had to wait a long time to get this cable as there seemed to be a long queue of orders for this lmao

DIY Sterling Silver 5N $30 (the seller is common to shopee and aliexpress, but only listed this only in shopee). Hardware is chosen well, makes the cable look pretty, but the silver cable is so thin, even thinner than KBear limpid, making impedance 0.49ohm. For lower impedance cable, maybe look to XinHS 4N 8 core on Riku's list. Weight of this cable is super light as expected.
