Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

Alright,

since i almost payed the Meze for 150 Bucks, this would be my maximum..

If soundsignature is important i would say the se846 lacks a bit at subbass and topend but i think they are known for it.. Otherwise the stockcable sounded well for me..

In termes of colour if really prefere this purple/galaxy themed calbles like the HAKUGEI Luna / soul.. but damn they are expensive... the dragon and antike also fits my taste.
I’ve not tried many purple cables, but here are a few that might be worth a look:

NiceHCK DualGod, ~$85 (less with code 318DUALGOD).

NiceHCK PurpleGem, ~$50

ZiSin-19, ZiSin-21, ~$100
ZiSin-29, ~$45 with coupon
ZiSin-05, ~$75
Same company as ivipQ. There are more purple cables than these in their store, but I ran out of time. They are very friendly so worth asking what cables they have that are purple and emphasise subbass and treble.

Also worth asking Xinhs for recommendations. For example, there’s this cable from them.

Copper purity isn't too important instead advanced Litz structure and smallest thread diameter give much improvement.
Also different alloy types can differ a sounding. For copper they're OFC, OCC, UPOCC.

There are some 8N cables about, but purer does not mean better.

If you want a great cable, look for ones people love at whatever price point you are looking for, and then find out why they like them. For example I love the warm musicality of the Effect Audio Ares II+ and the details of the Penon ASOS, but that doesn’t mean they will suit everyone.

Though Hakugei cables are not much talked about they are a great alternative to XINHS and i may even say they are better in general construction and packaging.
