Two lengths of a balanced 6.35mm TRS to 6.35mm TRS cable are listed for the TOPPING TCT1, 25CM at $49 and 75CM at $69, and the store title adds (Pair). The page text gives a specification section with an inner core of 8 pieces of 0.16MM 6N single crystal copper silver-plated wire plus 180 pieces of 0.08MM 6N single crystal copper, a conductor resistance of 26.92/KM and an 8MM OD.

Specifications

Options and pricing

Two options are listed, both orderable when the page was read: TCT1-25CM at $49 and TCT1-75CM at $69. The option field carries the label color although both of its values are lengths. The store title ends in (Pair), and the page text gives no in-the-box list, so what a purchase contains is not spelled out.

How it compares

The TOPPING TCT2 3-Pin Male XLR to 6.35mm TRS Balanced Copper Cable OCC (Pair) is $67.15 and swaps one 6.35mm TRS end for a 3-Pin Male XLR end; its spec line lists the same core. The TOPPING TCR2 6N Single Crystal Copper Gold-Plated RCA Cable starts From $39 and is named as an RCA cable. Choose the TCT1 for 6.35mm TRS at both ends, the TCT2 if one end needs XLR, the TCR2 for RCA.

Shipping, returns and warranty

HiFiGO sells from hifigo.com and says every order leaves its warehouse in China, usually 1-3 business days after it is placed, and says its delivery times are estimates, not promises. Its shipping policy gives the United States 1-2 weeks (about 10 days on average) by Priority and 6-10 days by Premium, both with duties and taxes prepaid by the store; Canada 2-3 weeks; the United Kingdom 1-2 weeks; and Australia 10-15 days. Express couriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days, but then the buyer pays any duties and taxes. No shipping page names New Zealand, PO boxes are not accepted, and the free-shipping thresholds differ between the store's own pages, so check the cart. One of its two shipping pages adds that a lost parcel on an order above $50 gets only a 50% refund. A US buyer reported a $40 tariff charge in August 2025, after which HiFiGO said it had added a customs notice at checkout.

Read the return terms before you order. The homepage advertises 7-day returns. Both of HiFiGO's policy pages offer a 7-day dead-on-arrival cover (a replacement or a full refund, with the return postage refunded) and also describe 30-day returns, but a request made 7 to 30 days after delivery loses 30% of the MSRP as a restocking fee (10% more if the packaging is incomplete), plus shipping both ways and duties, and the FAQ on the same pages says there is no refund or exchange once 7 days have passed. One version recommends reselling an opened product locally. Custom IEMs and custom cables cannot be returned, no return address is published, and buyers describe sending items back to China.

Cables and adapters get three months of warranty from the order date, against one year for DACs, amps and IEMs; a note on the same page also excludes cables from returns for hygiene reasons, while the FAQ says a cable can come back in its original condition. HiFiGO decides between repair and replacement and the buyer pays the shipping. Claims go to [email protected], the only contact the store lists: its pages name no company, street address or phone.

On Trustpilot, HiFiGO had 4.6 out of 5 from 378 reviews when we checked on 2026-10-28 (91% five-star, 5% one-star), and it had replied to about 75% of negative reviews; Trustpilot notes the store has not invited customers to review recently. The one-star reviews mostly concern the short return window and the deductions on returns, items listed in stock that turned out back-ordered, slow email support and a tariff charge on a US delivery in 2025. HiFiGO says its products are genuine and come in the brands' retail packaging; it does not claim to be an authorized dealer.
