Thanks, slex. I ordered that Graphene cable and one of the all silver ones mentioned for my share of the sale

Dun mention it, I got a feeling soon palladium cable will follows after graphene in mid-price range.XINHS has an sample.Not sure when he is ready to release.

It is the standard length for IEM cables. I have too many I have ordered from Aliexpress to count and I dont have any issues with how long the cables are. No worries on ordering cables from Aliexpress. It does take about 3-4 weeks for your cable to get to you.

You have to have a different mind set from ordering something from Amazon. They have free shipping from China but they are using the cheapest shipping possible to cut down on cost. Ultimately stuff does get to you and on rare occasions can get lost in the process. If that happens their dispute process takes even longer so there are some very minor risks, very minor. It is no where near as fast as ordering something domestically. The trade off is your gonna save a bunch of money on some really nice cables and IEMs if you order from them.

You can usually find some similar cables being sold on Amazon for some of the vendors sells on Amazon however it is always cheaper on Aliexpress and during sales it is even cheaper. Grab them cables when you can. Current sales is about to end actually.

Thanks for the informative and quick reply!

The only reason I'm worried about time is that I have a stock cable with a recent IEM I got that is driving me nuts in terms of ergonomics (can a cable be uncomfortable? well, it is! at least while laying down).

I could order a $30 cable from amazon (like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SS9VDWD/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A267P2DT104U3C&psc=1 which I think is a little cheaper on Aliexpress) and it will be here by early next week, but I thought if it only took a week+ from Aliexpress to just get one better cable I could wait.

Guess I'll order that one from amazon for fast "relief" lol from my stock cable and then look around on the XINHS storefront on Aliexpress for a more permanent cable (currently looking at this one that I think many in here, including you, have pointed out: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002380254843.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.5.35792ca20w8Rvm).

Thanks again!

That graphene cable is on a whole different tier of cable. Tripowin stuff a hard pass on those they are cheap stuff. Go for the graphene. Make your first purchase worth the effort is what I say.

By the way the price on the graphene cable will go back up to $100ish once sale is over.

What IEM you got anyway?

Well, for the record, I did buy a version of that Tripowin to pair with my MEST and it is the best IEM cable I own so far in terms of ergonomics/build. I'll buy another to tide me over before my AliExpress order comes.

I jumped on the graphene cable so thanks! I'll comment on it after I get it.

FWIW xinhs is offering this graphene cable for $59.16 (link), and this graphene cable, which looks startling similar, for $110.95 (link). From what I can tell they’re just messing with me now.

CEMA PS arrived!

 

[skypablo]

LOL, my PS delivered today too... till now just connected to the dusks ... maybe I will listen too ... soon

 

[Xinlisupreme]

Pairs very well with Reecho Insects Awaken

Did you try it?
I can’t unplugged from Reecho and test on Volt, Mest Mk2 or others IEMs because sounds so good with little Reecho that I can’t believe in it.
Very very impressed by this Cema PS!

My initial impressions of cema PS are that it remind me a bit the cema175 in the part regarding the tightening of basses. Basses are very well controlled. Trebles are slightly less than normal. It seems to me that is a musical warm and tight cable ... a bit darker than normal. These sensations are the same while using the adidac2fs on iem port (SE) or plus the thx 887 (balanced) or using the different chain D90+A90 (bal). Of course there are high quality adapters because the PS is 2.5mm while the amp does not have 2.5. But the scope of my iems is to be used with sr25 and dx220. To be honest I still prefer the cemaMS (175) and I have 3 of them, all 3.5mm single ended that I use on iems that require low power. Tested on flac 44khz (tori amos) and Podger-Vivaldi 4 seasons (192khz)

This is the actual cable distribution on my audio things (white rows are not in my possession but could be soon). PS will probably be tested on other iems but not today... this is an hobby to be happy, not a job

@skypablo i don’t find it dark for sure on Reecho Insects Awaken and I like also on Penon Volt, maybe it need some burnin

A friend suggested me some brand:
Cross lambda audio
HanSound audio
PluSound audio
Audio Genetic
And PWaudio 1960 but last one cost too much.
I’m considering Cema Palace Class that looks quite good or satin audio Medusa II/Athena

It was quite evident during this morning listening that violins where a bit less brilliant that I was used to using the dusks. Previously the dusks had the thieaudio EST cable (the one that arrives with the monarch). Soon or later I will do other comparisons. That s why I used the word "dark". Maybe it is the EST to be too bright.... it is a relative concept. Need to dig more inside this topic

 

[Xinlisupreme]

With Penon Volt CEMA PS has an amazing sinergy, I’ll test also with Mest Mk2 and IBasso IT02.
CEMA suggested me new Pipa to have similar sound but better.

So, I took advantage of that recent sale and my cables just arrived. Super happy.
Will put in some listening time a bit later.
