Planning on getting an used Elysian Gaea from another head.fier, currently waiting for a shipping rate quote.

Anyone know where I can buy replacement cables that won't break the bank?
AliExpress has a good selection and cheap prices

The Gaea uses connectors called pentaconn, a connector type almost nothing on the market uses.

I did an Ali search but I'm not getting any results with pentaconn in the item description.

If you already have cables you want to use with the Gaea, you can get one of these adapters. I have the 2pin female to Acoustune/Pentaconn ear adapter and it works well. The only thing I don't like about it is that it adds an extra 1/4" to the length of the cable connector.

I recommend going with Effect Audio cables since they have the conX system where you can easily swap out the connectors. They're not exactly cheap, but at least you won't be stuck with a cable that only works with the Gaea. If you were to buy a cable with a pentaconn ear connector, you're pretty limited to the IEMs you can use it with.

Guys, the wait to read some impressions (even if only fleeting!) of the ARTTI R1 is making me constantly update these pages... and I know I'm not the only one! :sweat_smile:

I found only 3 files. And I can determine sound quality by it's dynamic range. I can answer to PM.
The original post explains that there are 3 files of five snippets each, with different bitrates/resolution in different order. Three combinations of the same 5 files. Like (I'm making this up) ABCDE, AEBDC, BEACD.

There may be one or two on this thread who own them, but that was a model that was put out last year I think, never heard it?

Yes, I had seen it pass by here, but I can tell you honestly that I hadn't paid much attention to any listening impressions, caught up in a thousand other things or perhaps not encouraged by the price.

Now that I'm getting to the point about making a purchase, I'm having scruples.

Here on HF I saw a (positive) review, but I don't know anything else.

I would save up a bit and grab an ares cable from effect audio.

What’s wrong with the stock cable? Is it missing?

Same here lol!
20% early bird now. $63. Will not buy without ANY impressions though, could be another Timeless II. 😀

Another Timeless II?

We don’t know what the Timeless II sounds like yet. There was a trial release to some reviewers and based on that 7hz chose to work on the tune some more before release.
