I only have the 4 core of those two, but I wasn’t trying to say cheap silver cables are bad. They give a bright and focused tonality that helps with detailing and reduces warmth. For many people that is good, though my personal taste is the opposite of that. As with a lot in audio, it is not a matter of good or bad, just personal taste.Interesting, i saw good reviews regarding the cheap pure silver cables by NiceHCK hence my curiosity

I'll be trying the Nicehck Musou modular cable: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...st_main.5.3dee1802PlGGEC&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
Normally $13,204 dollars, with a coupon it's $50 bucks. (I may be exaggerating the savings a bit, but I do find it funny how things get marked down so much.)

I just bought the cheap nicehck silver litz cable (4 core variant) and I wouldn't really call them thin or bright sounding at all. really depends on the recordings and bass heavy tracks still hit pretty hard.

What's a $20ish cable similar to the Tripowin Zonie with a right-angled 3.5mm termination? Preferably in some funky colours!
I'm looking for this style of cable (thick sleeving before the splitter, then thin cable after the splitter) for iems, is Venture electronics the only selling them?

XINHS cables are getting so pretty omg. Never thought I'd like the look of a non-plain-black cable but these are seriously beautiful.

Hi guys, i need a 2.5mm balanced cable mmcx for my iems. What cable is good these days for value for money?
Do you prefer a cable that doesn’t affect sound, or do you want some sort of sound shaping?Hi guys, i need a 2.5mm balanced cable mmcx for my iems. What cable is good these days for value for money?
Hi, guys ! I'm impressed by the Forum !
Would you recommend a 3.5mm QDC cable for the 2 IEMs ( KZ ZEX Pro and KZ PR3 ) , I'm expecting to arrive , please ? I'm looking for a cable, that would allow the IEMs to reveal their full potential, with better detail and separation, fuller , richer sound ( rather on the warm side, than sparky ) ... I'm soon planning to buy the Hidizs MP145 as well . I'm using the iBasso DC04PRO .
On the other hand I've the Ethys ER-4P, that I had almost forgotten ... Is it a good idea looking for a cable upgrade for them ? I wish they sounded a bit warmer with a more full body .
Thank you very much !

A cheap, warm cable that is far superior to the stock KZ cables is the NiceHCK BlackCat. Should be ~$15 in QDC, though they often try to charge more.
On my MP145 I use the ivipQ 243. It has good bass and mids, and a slightly soft treble. Not rolled off, just easy on the ears. Currently on their Winter sale. You'll need to ask for 2 pin (not recessed) termination, free of charge.
I got the silver plated version of this cable for my ER2-XR and regretted not getting the pure copper for extra warmth. Because I don't have this exact cable I'm less sure of this than my other recommendations.
