It's not bad in isolation, but the launch edition established expectations, which I think is a large part of the disconnect for many.

It's an intriguing and worthy discussion to be sure, but I am considering moving all of it to it's own thread somewhere, so that we stop derailing this one. I have to imagine there are some, perhaps many, followers of this thread who'd like to return to the good old days of Storm-centric...

I think the only thing we can all agree upon is that this thread is no longer about the Subtonic Storm.

100% agreed. And though I've not tried every cable at that price point, I'd say that the Eros S could very well be the best of any offering in the $300 range period. You don't want to do that... it's soooo good, cleanest sounding cable I've heard yet.

Ooooh, I wonder how that sounds? :smiley: Super-important in this case because it will take a loooonnnnggg time for a good patina to develop from use. :smile:

Funny you should ask that, as @Aeonyx is dealing with a similar issue with his Eros S. He was thinking of using a heat gun, but I think that's too risky a move for any cable of considerable value. That said... I don't know if all manufacturers offer such a service, but I know that Eletech...

Hmm, you didn't like Noble's Spartacus? Granted, it's not DD, but I felt that the dual BCDs did a pretty good job with the low end. In fact, I remember thinking to myself Joop might like this one! :smile: I remember trying to convince @eruilluvitar that the LCD-5 (which we both have) has...

Thanks! :slight_smile:

:smile: I got way excited to post it!

Anybody going? :slight_smile:

Much like how many people aren't even aware of Equal Loudness contours. Heck, I've even run into people that don't understand how we hear. They think the eardrum automagically sends signals to our brains, and it totally blows their minds to learn that we have stereocilia (little hairs in...

Believe it or not, it wasn't the angled front facade that gave it away. It's because I know NuPrime (previously NuForce) loves to use those perforated dot matrix displays. :smile:

I hope Bloom stocks the in-between sizes soon. Otherwise I'll have to order from Sg and pay crazy shipping. 😭

I'm not sure actually. The thread is usually up around 90 days ahead of time, so really it should be up any day now.
