Anyone have experience with the Tripowin Jelly cables btw?
Howâs the built/quality and comfort? Pin-straight easily?
I donât own Jelly, but my first aftermarket cable (lol, little that I knew at that time) is the Tripowin C8. Their cables are nice, in my opinion over-priced when compared to aftermarket chinese stores like Xinhs, but do the job - which is transmiting sound lol.
Thanks for bringuing this up. I forgot to mention that Mele pin slots are incredible. Everything flushed right in, without need of force but without wiggle space as well.
Oh, and trust me, this should be normal, but unfortunately itâs not, specially on budget sets (Take GK10 for example. I had to punch it in. Still afraid to connect it to my cables lol)

Dang with all the praise the Mele is getting so far, Great job HBB!
I might just pick up a pair once I grab the Tea(or Oracle). Definitely canât wait to see otherâs impressions on it(especially if it beats out the Aria which in fairness where Iâm at they both cost pretty identical)

I might do a full write-up review this weekend, still messing with tracks and timestamps to easy me with it. Keep in mind it will prolly be âregular/casual guy talkâ more than technical vocabulary (the height, weight, resolution, etc).

I have a Tripowin C8 from Amazon myself, and the straight-ability is definitively better than Yinyoo for sure, love the cable. But I didnât know that Tripowin is overpriced, so the deal with the Mele would actually be a steal then?
The graphene cable talk got me intrigued⊠but Iâm very well aware of my own budget and allowance so imma just sit on that thought for a while lol.
I said over-priced compared to what I pay for other cables through Xinhs store.
As long as itâs built good and measures well, Iâm good. Iâm not a cable believer, specially on budget gear. I like to believe they might give the last 2% of your experience when youâre full set up on your end game gear and source combination. The opposite of tips, to me.
For me, 50usd+ cables are overpriced, and I own some. Some of my best cables costed me 20 or 30 bucks. I usually donât like stock cables tho, the last revision of Mangird Teaâs cable is my best example. Resolution said that he noticed and improvement from the stock cable on Mele to this other cables.
I like to bring up precogâs example on the subject. His end game so far is a U12T connected to a 1k Dap. He uses a 10$ aftermaket cable 
food for thoughts.
Whatever improves your jorney, by all means, get it if you can. If doesnât matter much to you, skip on it and save some good bucks. Sets and sources are expensive enough.
Well, lets not turn this into a cable discussion thread, but feel free to join the cable thread! Weâre friendly, most of the time

Out of curiosity does anyone who has the squiglink for comparing FR graphs between different bits of gear is there a way to like put other reference tunings on it? I know that there are the FR target for reviewerâs preferences, but for newbies just getting started and canât read into graphs as easily and hear things like âOh this is U-shapedâ or V-shaped or Balanced or Harman or neutral etc.
Like a general rule of thumb to help newbies learn by seeing what a âclassical X-tuningâ and compare prospective IEMs on them

Gonna look for a local lad that have the same idea as mine and do a unit swap. Or better yet, buy one for my wife birthday and swap with her.

Really? As I understand graphene per se is a super thin ( one atomic layer of graphite which is one of only three naturally occurring allotropes of carbon) coating of wires. Why then are the coated wires thicker and therefore heaviet than the normal ones?

I believe the graphene is the outer covering. The actual wire is thisâŠ
âsingle crystal copper silver-plated graphene cableâ.
The XINHS graphene cable is slightly heavier than most cables but it is very flexible and not stiff at all. The 8 core is quite heavy.
Donât overthink this. The graphene cable looks and feels great and it also measures the best out of any of my cables. Itâs my favorite cable. Most everyone who has purchased one from XINHS agrees. If you want a killer cable, just grab one. Trust us.
This is ridiculously goodâŠ

Is there a link to the set @nymz has with mini xlr and the different terminations? Iâd buy that!

Not on sale, its a custom, but if you show him my photo, he can do an equal set 
I paid 10 extra usd for the mini xlrs. Adaptors are the default price.

He had that custom made.
I had this graphene cable custom made for the HE6se and the XINHS guy charged me less than a brand new graphene cable and this puppy is 7â long! After I spoke to him about the custom work, he had the cable built, pictures of it taken and sent back to me and shipped by the time I had woken up the next morning. I had him add money to my bill because I wanted to tip him for all of his time and his custom work. Just contact them on their store and discuss what youâd like him to make for you. The guy was amazing to deal with.
