Any suggestion for SP1000 -> Tia Fourte? Leonidas or Leonidas + Mars?

The Ares II+ works well with the U18, better than the Leonidas and Mars IMO (not Leonidas + Mars which I haven't tried with the 18). May consider trying the whole lineup, not just focus on the most exotic and expensive ones~

Nice to see more cable reviews up!

Do you feel the Ares II also tightens the bass, or does it add more quantity? Yesterday I got the tips for my Ei.3 universal reshell from Custom Art and so I finally got a chance to listen to the changes between the CIEM and universal fit. The sound has become a bit warmer and the bass does not quite have the impact of the custom fit. I also find that some of the clarity is lost. The Ares II might still work a treat, but I also think that the Eros might give a better result due to its hybrid design.

Maybe I've missed something, but is the Leonidas a numbered limited edition? Think I saw at least some of the leather cans (including my JH->4.4) numbered as XXX/300, but it seems that stock is still in abundance.

Also I'm pretty curious about that "scarce" silver it used...........guess it would be too much of a commercial secret to crack? Eager to know at least something about it.............

I found to to bring out a bit more body and impact personally. It'll likely bring out a bit more clarity like you want, so could be a good fit for your monitors. The extra presence up top was very welcome for my smooth sounding monitors.

One day I'll get the Custom Art FIBAE1 and test it with my multiple cables.

If you were in the UK, I could have lent you the cable at the cost of postage providing you have a source that takes a 2.5mm balanced cable.

Thanks for the info and the generous offer! I am in the UK and use an AK70, but will look at buying a cable at some point anyway and don't mind relying on advice from Eric and Piotr for that.

The new FIBAE are being very well received, so that would seem like a great choice!

Feel free to send a pm if you can't to try :)

I also have a single ended forza cable and a balanced toxic spc cable.

yesterday after auditioning at a local retailer, I splurged on Eros II+ for my andros, Ares II for my ibasso IT03 and Thor Copper 8 for my fitear parterre! major wallet hemorrage >.<' but the improve over what i had been using is evident even prior to running them in.
