I've found the NiceHCK Blackcat and Purple SE for around $7 during this winter sale on AE

Both bargains at that price, though the cheaper listing I saw didn't have QDC.

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.

Thanks a lot for your reply and recommendations ! I read some good reviews about the BlackCat and it is still in my cart ... Will the more expensive NiceHCK LitzPS-Pro be worth much higher price ?

If I remember correctly, that is pure silver. As such it is likely going to be bright and detailed. If that is what you want, it is likely a decent option (though look at pure silver cables from Xinhs & ivipQ). From what your initial post said, you might prefer something warmer.

Also, there's no need to spend a lot to get a great cable. Even with ~80 cables, I often still use the BlackCat and similar simply because I like them. Expensive cables are often just about getting the exact sonic characteristics you want... and never quite getting there.

Thanks a lot for your advice ! Will look for Xinhs & ivipQ silver cables.

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.)

Sorry to quote myself, but i'm impressed that this cable arrived in under a week. I've had a chance to confirm it's working, but that's it so far.

This a very cool cable.

About sound: full body sound with some soft mids/ warm-soft sound.

Any good cables with firm connection for ie900 on AE ?

I just want a modular cable with firm connection to the ie900 so it won't disconnect with a flinch....

A proposition :

Search for cables with a N5005 connectors.
I use this one with my IE600: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004799002938.html, MMCX connections are perfect

NiceHCK is discontinuing GoldCrown and cutting the price to clear remaining stock, so I picked one up.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005240213367.html

With the discount code 8399SALE and coins, my 4.4mm MMCX came up to about $78 before tax.

There are a couple of impressions and even measurements around headfi and it seems like a decent one.

(I don’t get anything from this. Just sharing what seems to be a good deal when I come across one)

Those cables sure a nice. But are they really worth it for that price?

Well apart from your budget, I’d say it depends on how well it matches up with the rest of your gear. Tbh, MeetAlice and FirstTouch were meh to me, OurLaura was kind of headed the same way (wasn’t quite convinced pairing it with my Miroak-II or JVC woodies) until I dug deep and discovered that I particularly like its synergy with Lyra II.
