I would like to take a nicehck ace orpheus for my earsonics grace platinum, is the quality correct with them? If not, could you advise me a good quality brand please?Thank you so much
NiceHCK provide wires and ironmongeries and XINHS OEM the cables for them. I have seen cold joints with their cables but since they are fully moulded and there's no way the wire will come loose from the plug so it's actually not like a big problem. I also haven't noticed any odd resonance due to the cold joints yet. But XINHS' plugs are the worst in sonic quality. I wonder if NiceHCK also source their own plugs or just use XINHS'.

Ah ok!Which brand would you recommend for a safe purchase in terms of quality. As for materials, I understood what I was looking for. But a good brand is not easy to find I have the impression

You can probably try Yongse and Fifty strings, and there are some budget friendly Effect Audio cables like the new signature series.

I haven't tried enough Yongse but they are professional enough. Fifty strings are also alright but I have still noticed cold joints, thou there's one current popular cable called M.Hwak you probably can give it a try. I only tried the EA Ares S II of the new signature series and I liked it. Price is good too.

Vous pouvez probablement essayer les cordes Yongse et Fifty, et il existe des câbles Effect Audio à petit budget comme la nouvelle série Signature.

Je n'ai pas encore essayé assez de Yongse mais ils sont assez professionnels. Les 50 cordes sont également corrigées mais j'ai quand même remarqué des joints froids, bien qu'il existe un câble populaire actuellement appelé M.Hwak, vous pouvez probablement l'essayer. Je n'ai essayé que l'EA Ares S II de la nouvelle série Signature et je l'aime bien. Le prix est également



Merci je vais regarder les effets audio. Ce sera une belle mise à niveau👍

The Aceorpheus is nicely detailed, but the treble intensity is noticeable reduced. For me that is a good thing, but if you want a similar cable without losing treble maybe try the Dearorpheus.

Yes, but I'm afraid of the quality of these cables now. When I see what happened to me with Penon G4 ... horrible

I have upwards of 100 aftermarket cables, mostly NiceHck, Xinhs and ivipQ, with a scattering of Penon and ISN. The overwhelming majority are flawless. Penon’s QC is probably the least good, though they have great materials and customer support. With all these cables, the difference from once model to the next can be very significant.
What are you looking for in a cable (looks, sound colouring, etc)?

You message Penon and show them pictures? You should. They will correct the problem there. Interesting that your connectors look so used. Never seen that before, it's like someone took plyers to the connector there and deliberately squeezed the ends. Message them here on headfi or email them and let them know. show them the pictures.

It is Campfire Audio Solaris OG. Sorry the appearance of the G4 was good but I mainly based a customer feedback from a Solaris owner. And the sound seemed better to him

I have already done that. The photo was taken immediately after I realized that the left side did not clip. I did not force because there is no need normally and my OG Solaris are precious to me. And there I saw the connectors especially the left. This cable is damaged at the outlet of the box. A return can be? The fact remains that it was packed in a blister without any control. I will ask for a refund. The concern is the tax of 13 euros that I paid for the package. I don't know how I'm going to get them

Could anyone well versed in this thread give me a consensus of what the default recommended brands are nowadays? I know Nicehck, xinhs, Yeongse, Kinera, hakugei, etc but the more I read the more conflicting it gets 😅. Was looking for some decent cables between $25-$75 (preferably $50), so please do let me hear your recs.

CEMA, IvipQ, maybe SevenStrings.
But you didn't write your preferences except price. If you don't believe in difference of cable sound, then get any with good look.

I have the Yongse Captain, which is nice, but a tad bright, Mars, also bright plus an ergonomic nightmare; ISN G4, I think. It's very good, I have to say; White whale, by Hisenior, good as well and a Hakugei, which is brilliant, but pricey. There's also a fiio cable, but only in mmcx, if i remember correctly.
The Ares S II of Effect Audio is around 200, maybe less now, they have some coupons on their website. Good quality, 8 wire copper.
