For HD6XX balanced cable, is it the same with this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/VE-Basic-HD650-HD600-HD580-HD414-HD420-HD430-HD525-HD545-HD565/1924356_32806755404.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.5ce5139eoqD1T4
3 meters is USD35 via the website compared to USD90 here.
Price is excluding shipping.

maellenI find it highly unlikely they'd be the same kind of cable - what I can say is I own both the cloth sleeved kind (the one being sold here) as well as the one on Aliexpress (bought before the former) which is sleeved with a different material and the latter is extremely coarse and annoying to handle. It's still a ridiculously good deal for a balanced cable of that length, I paid like 20 for my 1.5m one, but I'll gladly pay extra for the cloth.
Both sound identical to my ears though and it's hard to justify a price discrepancy of like 40 bucks if you're just paying for soft sleeving but I'd imagine the cable architecture would be different here - up to you whether or not a better quality cable is worth the difference in pricing and as said, I really don't know what the gauge/wire situation is handled between the two.

VigrithThanks for the clarification. Would like to know the differences in terms of sleeving & gauge/wire type from the seller as well.

maellenOrdered from the link you provided and the cord is very stiff and coarse, definitely not the soft cloth here. I'm fine with the stiffness and definitely not complaining for the $40 CDN price tag.

DanLeI wouldn't mind either if the cable core they used is the same. Sleeving is minor. Thanks for the input.
