Thank you for your kind words buddy :) Glad you're loving the "Lionheart" ~!! You're one of the few who has been receiving the first batch! Have fun with it! Await your impressions if you have to time to write one.

-Eric

Also looking forward to your Lionheart impressions, looks like a cable that competes with the most expensive cables at a fraction of the price.

Just like "Leonidas" seeks to compete with the best silver out there at a fraction of the market determined prices (in which we succeeded), "Lionheart" competes with the best coppers out in the market with our unique geometry design. Peeps who heard it during our beta prototyping phase at NYC and those who own it can attest. Don't be fooled by it's price point, It's a Flagship / Statement product in it's own right :)

I'm looking for a cable with sparkling highs, forward and natural vocals, good airiness and detail retrieval, and solid sub bass. I've been looking at the Thor (not Thor II since I read that the high frequencies are rolled off with that one). Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd prefer to spend less than $400 if possible.

I recommend the Effect Audio Ares II +.

I couldn't agree more.,I love copper cables and lionheart has made vocals on my k10s simply sublime without losing any detail retrieval or bass.. I had westone ES5 for 5 years before k10 and even though k10 was superior to them in all aspects it just couldn't bring the vocals to the level I was used to on ES5(which imo is still one of best CIEM) . I have k10 for over year now and couldn't get used to the sound till now with lionheart cable.. the DHC symbiote fusion cable alleviated some of the issues and EQ helped bring vocals forwards but at expense of details on zx2/wm1z.. so now with lionheart it seems to deliver best of both worlds- vocals like ES5 and everything else like the wonderful k10s. It seems to have increased some of them soundstage and bit of sparkle on highs. They are extremely non fatiguing and so light and comfortable that they vanish once you start listening to the music (unlike the DHC cable which was hevay and heavy splitter made my ears hurt). this is just 20 hrs burnin and already putting a smile on my face .. can't wait for full 200 hrs burn in (my default standard before I pass detailed opinion)

Ps: highly recommend musicians splitter who knew shaving few grams reduces cable drag on ears..

Heyy buddy~

If i understand correctly, you're looking for an all rounder? Gotcha'. I wouldn't go for the 'Thor Silver' or the 'Thor Silver II'. Pure Silvers in our repertoire usually shine in a couple of particular aspects without being a generic all rounder sounding piece. You could consider the "Eros II" or the "Lionheart". Go for the 'Lionheart' if you can, im sure it'll surprise ya'. Meanwhile, if you're based in US, get in touch with MusicTeck regards to the Loaner Program to try out our cables! :)

Hope this helps. Feel free to ping me if you have further queries.

Hey buddy,

I feel the TG334 pairs rather decently with the Eros , Eros II & Lionheart. But hey, its my personal preference :) Why not approach a local distributor for a demo. If you're in the US, MusicTeck is working with us on a awesome loaner program :)

@EffectAudio

So I'm currently looking around replacement cables for my Senn HD800 and I have my eyes on the Ares II+.
I've noticed in your website that there are two types of Ares II+ for headphones: 4 braid and 8 braid.

May I know the difference between the two? What is the advantage of having 4 more braids?

Thanks
