Effect Audio cables thread
Some time ago I referred to the (Joni Mitchell) song lyrics: ''Don't it always seem to go. That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone'' Well, today is a happy day and I totally remember now, what I've missed since then... Seriously, I'm just completely blown away (again) by the quality...- Kerouac

EarSonics Onyx
Hmmm... some wise decisions you guys made I do think Re. Onyx vs LX: to my ears the LX (which costs ± 3x as much as Onyx) has a bit more relaxed and V shaped signature overall. Both have superb (sub)lows, but the Onyx delivers better mids imo, where the LX has a slightly wider/holographic...- Kerouac

Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)
I've never heard the EVO myself, but I don't think that you have to worry about synergy here :) The LPGTs 'secret sauce' is its superb PMEQ. It already has some great pre-sets (I sometimes use 'Heaphone' and 'Rock' myself) imo. But you can always create some extra settings to your personal...- Kerouac

Effect Audio Ares II, 8 wire
Time to thin the cable herd again :) This is the EA Ares II (bespoke) 8 wire version, which retailed at $300 new. It has 2-pin connectors and a 3.5mm SE angled plug. As can be seen in the pics, it's still in very good condition and works perfectly, but I just don't use it enough (too many other...- Kerouac

Effect Audio cables thread
FWIW: when I had the EVO 1 and EVO 10 on a loan for some weeks, earlier this year, I honestly liked them both. But I slightly prefered the EVO 10, as that one was just a bit more revealing (details) and it also delivered slightly better imaging and separation to my ears. At that time I used it...- Kerouac

The Watercooler-- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
That's a classic album indeed! By chance I posted this some weeks ago :) I love that island! Visited it twice, one time on my own (backpacking) when I was young, and the 2nd time with my family. Here are some pics (as I think that's allowed in this thread) from that 2nd time in 2008. I will...- Kerouac

A superb review imo! And some nice 'Track List' (with some of my favorite artists / albums) as well, at the end of it :) Great job!- Kerouac

Reply to review by 'Kerouac' on item 'Effect Audio Axiom'
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! It took me quite some time to put it all together this way. Trying to connect all the 'different dots' at the same time, to make it come across as a whole in the end. While keeping the Axiom (which is the subject of course) in the centre of...- Kerouac

Official Effect Audio Axiom discussion & impressions thread
Inspired by the X (aXiom?) on your screen, I decided to listen to this album this morning. These babies, although still in their burn-in proces, certainly already deliver the goods! :) And while I'm on the 'babies' subject: joined in 2001? Wow man, you were literally standing at the cradle...- Kerouac

Official Effect Audio Axiom discussion & impressions thread
Just out of curiosity (as I don't have it yet): any thoughts (among those of you that already have used the Axiom for some time) on the needed/advised burn-in time to make the DD settle down and sound at its best? Was there some point that a change in sound was noticed? :thinking: Thanks in...- Kerouac

Official Effect Audio Axiom discussion & impressions thread
Your description of the black modules seems to have a lot of similarities with a pre-production (prototype loaner) model, that I've been listening to over the past few weeks. I'm already impressed with the soundquality & signature of that one, so now I'm looking forward to try the 'real deal'...- Kerouac

Hello, my good old 'Spartan' friend... :wink: I've just read your review, but when I looked at the pictures (also the one above) I wondered what cable that was? As it surely doesn't look like the stock UnHR 4C cable (which has no memory wire) to me :thinking: Cheers!- Kerouac

It was there... A) because it was partly black and fitted (imo) nicely in the picture :sunglasses: B) so I could easily check when it was time for my cup of coffee :coffee: C) and I still have no idea why :thinking: D) all of the above :smile: Cheers!- Kerouac

Reply to review by 'Kerouac' on item 'EarSonics Onyx'
@Cecala First of all: I think that the included 3.5mm silver stock cable is already pretty good itself! Imo single ended vs balanced mainly depends on the dap that you're using. I've had daps where balanced made a big difference. On my current daps the differences are very subtle though. I...- Kerouac
