Anything from XINHS or ivipQ. Tripowin or NiceHCK are nice too but more expensive unless you get a good deal in a sale . Hard to pin it down any more without knowing how many cores you prefer or whether you want copper, SPC, silver or something else.

I bought this Tripowin Zonie a few days ago. I like it so much I bought a silver/grey and a blue as well. I think I'll snag a moss and a Zoe next...

After buying my Blessing 2 Dusk I had enough Shenzhenaudio reward points and was sufficiently dissatisfied with the stock cable that I wanted a softer, more flexible, and in a perfect world a higher quality-feeling replacement. I ended up with the Moondrop Coaxial OCC cable. My initial impression is decidedly lukewarm. But hey, I own a "professional" cable now! Make sure you read that in a Pinocchio voice.

The feel of this cable is moderately soft, slightly rubber-y, very slightly tacky plastic; not good and not awful. The cable is definitely more flexible than the stock one, which is great. The ear hooks are also more flexible, though; not exactly my preference but also not a big deal to me (the frogurt comes with sprinkles, the sprinkles are also cursed). One wholly positive thing I can say is on the interchangeable connector; I won't have to worry about incompatibility with most sources.

I detected no change in the sound of my B2: D with this cable.

In the end the best description I can provide to you all is that if I had it to do over again I'm not sure that I would make the same purchase. The interchangeable tips and increased flexibility are great but overall the cable doesn't feel to me like a $50 upgrade. Rather it feels a bit closer to the $20 of real money that it cost me.

Let's hope KBear is finally going to dispatch the new KBear Glaze cables. I'm really excited about them.

Hi! I'm looking at buying an Advar but it seems treble is possibly a bit hot. So if I upgrade from the stock cable, I'd like to get a copper only balanced one. Is this one from XINHS what I'd be looking for to tame the highs? How does the cable handle?

This cable tends to smooth out treble. Resolution is ok and overall balanced.

Right, thanks for the info. I just ordered the Advar, a Go Bar and this cable. Cable will arrive after my holidays so I'll have plenty of time to get to know the Advar+Go Bar with stock before I can compare with the XINHS.

The Penon Moonlight cable is awesome. Silver plated Graphene, sounds as good as my 1K$ cable..

Check out this thread. The knockoff nordost rcas sound really good for the price.

Most likely its not pure silver, a few of us opened up the cables to see what the conductors look like and it seems to be sterling silver. They sound really good for the price.

Those knockoff interconnects sound better than the wireworld silver eclipse 8 xlrs I had.

that hot region most likely will remain the same also swapping cables

Yeah, I need to say that I'm pretty skeptical about high end cables myself. But it also makes the difference between a balanced one (this copper one) and the non-balanced stock cable. And it's not very expensive, so might as well give it a try. There's several other ways of taming the hot mid/treble so not all my eggs are in the basket of a new cable.

Some high end cables are probably overpriced but that doesn't make them not better than budget cables. The Advar is a single DD as well as all those the KZ EDX/ZES etc. Some can continue to imagine cables don't make a difference while some others can continue to explore. If you want to really hear the big difference XINHS may not be the good option.
