I am currently trying out the CP145, which I received a few days ago, and I have to say that I am also happy with it. My favorite so far, which I would also highly recommend: AET07.Same here, I'm staying with CP145's for now. I like the origin's too but it depends on the source, CP145 is a great all rounder tips for me.

They were the competition to the AET006/007, releasing at the same time. I enjoyed them on the Nemesis but never ordered another pair. (I could only get them from SG so shipping was a PITA)Nope, never heard.
I think you mean the ‘vocal’ variant of the Faudio tips? They are nearly identical to the new aex07 tips, very hard to tell apart. The instrumentals are more bulbous like the Final E tips but with a slightly wider bore.They were the competition to the AET006/007, releasing at the same time.

I find they really spice up the treble. I've not found an iem that I like to use them on.

Really? I found them to be a better Final E with almost the same characteristics (I like more low end). Dang. What did you run em on?I find they really spice up the treble. I've not found an iem that I like to use them on.

I sent in my Odin recently for a loose driver and it took about a month to complete the repairHad to send my raven cable in for some service. It kept dropping one ear.
Any of you guys have experience with warranty service? Does it take a long time?
Thanks!

I guess the pulse is good with raven? I was thinking about buying another cable.My companions on this rain filled May weekend. HiBy R8 II - Empire Ears Raven & Astral Acoustics Pulse. Kilobuck end game sound that rivals even some dedicated components with over-ears.

Excellent synergy. The PULSE really adds sparkle and more texture to the mids.I guess the pulse is good with raven? I was thinking about buying another cable.

Good to know bc I was leaning towards Raphael but now I may reconsider.Excellent synergy. The PULSE really adds sparkle and more texture to the mids.

Really impressive build. The Pulse is a thicker gauge than the OCC Copper cable I have for my Susvara lolGood to know bc I was leaning towards Raphael but now I may reconsider.
Still very soft and manageable regardless of its size.

This is decidedly on the lower priced end of the cable spectrum, but I’ve been really enjoying the nicehk aceorpheus with my raven lev2s. Got it on one a sale on AliExpress for around $120. 8N OCC copper cable that I find a noticeable improvement in both clarity and dynamism and also in comfort over the stock cable even though it is a thicker heftier cable. I have a hard time justifying to myself spending more than ~$300 on a cable (just my personal positioning…not making any judgement on higher end cables or those who love or lust after them), so it has been nice to find a relatively inexpensive cable that both looks and feels pretty premium and also sounds great with the ravens to my ears.
The ravens with the aceorpheous and my ibasso dc-elite out of my iPhone is a really top tier portable setup. The sound out of the dc elite with ravens is way better than it has any business being…I find myself reaching for my dx300 less and less these days. The dx300 does sound a bit better, but you really need it be sitting in a quiet room to notice the difference.
