Mid priced IEM cables thread.
Jan 20, 2021 at 1:28 PM Post #661 of 1,867
I am using the Dark Jade which is 8 core and also have 4 core versions of this by another aliexpress seller. They are using the same cable and it is probably the same cable used for the Linsoul Nymph.

The Dark Jade should be similar to the Penon OSG, though they differ in degrees of definition. I don't have the OSG to compare, but I would guess that the OSG probably have better definition.

As for the similarties, the Dark Jade gives a black background, tightens the bass and gives better definition to the music.

If you are thinking of pulling the trigger, wait till the next Aliexpress sale, these can be gooten for less than US$100 during the sale.
I just received the 4 Core Graphene Alloy Cable from XIN HS
and it is a really nice cable both visually and sonicly (is that a word?). According the the seller it's the same cable as the Dark Jade. At 4 cores its light weight and very pliable, it's got beautiful chrome hardware small and understated and very nicely woven. As for sound, I've only had them in for about an hour now, but they perform very similarly to the pure silver I picked up a couple of days ago. To my ears the Pure Silver Litz may be a touch wider but it's very difficult to tell for sure. If so, it's negligible. There's really nice clarity up top as well. I'm very happy with this cable and can see using it when I'm out and about or when regular air travel resumes. I dont like travelling with the bulk of an 8 or 16 core. I want to give a shout out to the seller as well. He's super responsive. Literally within minutes of writing to him on the Ali message system, he responded. I needed a 2 Pin CIEM type cable but all the pics and choices only showed the flat 2 Pin - again within about a minute he snapped a pic of .78 2 Pin CIEM type connector and askied me to confirm. Within 24 hours he had it made and shipped. I'm pretty impressed. For the money, it's hard to beat.

Yes, XIN HS is a really responsive seller.

Quite helpful as well.

Just wondering if anyone has tried the ISN GD4 yet? Thinking of pulling the trigger but wanted to see if there were any impressions. Thanks!

So they do really good with IEMs that have some brightness in the treble area. GD4 with the FD5. Gold plating adds a touch of richness to the mids and darkens the treble tonality a touch. Bass is copper bass so it is very similar for bass impact to pure copper cables but where golden plated cables comes into play is for neutral or brighter IEMs. These are a great deal for what they are as ISNs own GC4 cost double for a very similar type of cable. Gold plating does not give you the best transparency that is where silver comes into play but that ability to add a richer tone from the mids to treble bands for earphones that mesh well. Synergy is amazing for these types of cables with the right earphones. Unfortunately they aren't as versatile as silver plated copper cables or pure copper cables for that matter.

What earphones you plan on pairing with these?

Thanks so much for your impressions. I'll be using these mostly with the AAW Halcyon, which are quite U shaped. I wanted to make sure that they were decent cables in regards to build and sound, but in all honesty, I really like how they look, so my purchase decision is as much aesthetic as they are from a sound performance perspective. Thank you again for sharing!

U shaped sound signatures should work well with them. I own several gold plated cables and they all end up being used in one way or another. They are made by ISN so your getting a solid cable. Haven't had any issue with anything I have gotten from them in the past. Let us know how that worked out if you decide to go for a set.

Hello!
So far, I've only been reading the writings of the forum, and now I'm writing for the first time.
Please understand that there may be inaccurate expressions because this article is being translated by a translator and edited little by little.

I've experienced the tianwaitian, chime, gs (palladium), ms (Ag65+Cu35), and rx series of cema seller.

And now I'm here to let you know that I've found a cable that's supposed to be using the same line as the tianwaitian.

That is a cable called PdX-PRE1 sold in Taobao.

from the outside
type6 litz silver plated copper
5n silver
5n palladium plated silver
5n gold plated silver

It has the same number of lines and strands as 315 used in tianwaitian. (A person from a community I work in often told me.)

very similar geometry too, very odd, this one has a layer of silver wires it seems that tianwaitian doesn't.

Thanks for your effort.
Tempted to order one, cheapest one I found was $250. Already have cema tianwaitian, I got for $350 during last sale, which is also not an bad deal.

Further on the NiceHCK DarkJade, here's mine, running between Shanling M6 and IMR Semper.
I really like the premium feel and how weighty it is, though I wish it were more flexible. But the workmanship is excellent, the chin bead stays where you slide it (it's pretty difficult to move actually). One downside I found is that the ear hooks barely go around the tops of my ears, so they sometimes pop outside, but fortunately I wear glasses so if needed, I can slip the cable behind the temples and they will stay there securely.
With the DarkJade and the SpiralDot++ my Semper is fully dolled-up now :)

NiceHCK DarkJade Graphene vs LN007040 6.35mm Pure Silver Gold Palladium
The Pure Silver 97.42% + Gold 2.39% + Palladium 0.017%

I have to say- I am extremely impressed by the sound of both- but the PSGP edges out for sound- more clarity and authority
but the cable is so thin- I ordered it in separate left and right XLR 3 pin and only one wire strand is being used for the pins and two wire strands for ground! I feel like I would have been served better if they upped the strands for each pin to at least 2 maybe three each- so I am returning it - or attempting to anyway. We will see.

NiceHCK DarkJade is probably my second best cable I ever owned- if not my favorite period- the dual XLR PSGP is very limited to my desktop- so limited use. DJ can go anywhere and yields best dividends and seems to check all my boxes for what I look for in a cable. Never was one to think the difference was so dramatic but I am sold- cable for what ever reason really does make some quiet of difference. I tried it on all my IEMs but the Penon ORB and
Kinera Nanna 2.0 seemed to benefit most from the Dark Jade.
