Stumbling upon AliExpress, is kinda like stumbling upon Amazon :)
Counterfeits galore…
But, there are original Chinese brands of cable that are very good for the money.
I picked up a phono cable as I was having issues with noise with the one I was using. Problem solved. Sounds great and no noise.
Wasn’t ready to spend $$$’s on a cable now, but for the comparative low cost of this cable - 150??? - the problem was fixed. At least now I know the issue was indeed w the cable.
it’s also a great source for diy “bits”, if you’re into that.
