Effect Audio cables thread
was testing the Zeus R today.. tried the aegis, ares 2, Thor silver, plus sound Exo silver Gold and gold plated silver, and then... The Leonidas... Eventually bought the Leonidas. It was just that extra oomph it gave me over the silver gold cable from plussound that won me over. -
