I’ve many higher cables as Ares S 8W and 4W, HanSound Nyx, CEMA PS, Dunu Viridian and others but purple calls me even if looks I’ll waist money 😂

Money can be only wasted on $50+ cables (graphene, palladium, lanthanides and related gibberish for silly gullible "audiophiles").
If purple truly calls you - then the aesthetics and psychoacoustics will totally rule over the common sense and wallets :)

Hard line to balance. That's the magic equilibrium all of us are trying to find, for the least amount of coin haha. It is subjective too, some consumers are bassheads, some are sensitive to bass, so YMMV.
Hopefully no one takes this as an offense, but I just thought at this point the whole YMMV thing should be so obvious that if anyone points it out then we're just being Captain Obvious at this point.

Same for when I get asked what's my favorite anything. That's a question I can never answer. This extends way beyond audio equipment.

Both are Furukawa copper and appear to have very similar colour and weight. Different fittings though and the KBEAR one claims Litz braiding.

I have several of the PurpleSE. :L3000:
I bought this one, I always wanted to try an Hakugei.😜

Nice color cable but that diagram..
The transient response is based on tone and elasticity of the cable.

Just received the Z300 finally. I did not know they would feel so solid. I’ll put some time in with them tomorrow.

Maybe by elasticity, they are talking about the "bounciness" impression of the bass instead of the cable?

Anyhow, these spider diagrams (or any attempt to breakdown subjective impressions of audio) tend to "over-fit", making it useful only to the particular maker of the diagrams on those particular audio products. ill-defined terminology is another issue. Only the ones who have experiences that "bounciness" of the bass knows what I'm talking about, for instance :beyersmile: Just like "BA timbre" and "bleed" and "plasticky" and "grainy"

How does all this "terminology" relate to cable properties??

Again, imagine the same cable with the totally opposite claims. How would one decide between these two opposites? The same unsupported undocumented BS. Anyone can claim anything, as long as it (the BS of wild "fantasy" claims) sounds at least somewhat "convincing"...

Worse, perhaps, are only the claims of "totally black background", so some poor chaps can snap $300 cable in a feeble effort to remedy their chain, instead of investing in a better source or a better designed IEM.
Well, it is just a hobby, right? :frowning2:
