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

Gladiator Cables

Need to mention this, long time since last time I had a cable from a small maker. My friend told me about Gladiator Cables, got in contact with him trough Discord to make a cable for my incoming Aurora. Really good guy, enjoyed our talk on deciding on hardware and wire and so on. Very helpsome, but of course he tries to sell to me 🤣

Landed on 22.5awg 6N copper cable with the sleeve I was interested in. The 4.4mm plug is actually a pure copper plug with chrome outer coating. Price came around at a little over 100usd, and I think this is justified since its custom made in Italy. Stock config is thinner and cheaper.

Not going to talk about technicalities, it is pure good copper cable.

I am very happy. Also quite comfortable to be 22.5awg.

Hi all!

I choose the cable for my Sennheiser IE200 + Ru6.

As far as I understand, they have a non-standard MMCX connector. Will the NiceHCK PurpleSE cable work with them? I want something copper with a 4.4 connector. Advise please, the budget is about $50. Thank you!

I have the IE300 and reached out to NiceHCK support and they confirmed mmcx will NOT work with IE300. The only ones they will work are labeled as that working with N5005.

Thanks, do you guys know something but with no braided cable or where the braided cable is covered not revealing its braided relief, to me sometimes this is uncomfortable.

Hi .. I've asked recently a cable manufacturer on AliExpress about the resistance of their cable and that was the answer that i can not fully understand hoping someone to clarify it for me :

Hello, this is the parameter value for this cable only:
one point seven × 10 ^ -8 Ω· m

You are just given the values for a metal resistivity (that is close to the pure copper value of 1.68, or simply rounded) that is very generic and essentially meaningless, like all the cable manufacturers' responses to technical questions in my limited experience, e.g. along the lines of "some can hear the difference"...

Thanks for confirmation of my thoughts too .. i felt that way
