i just ordered online but with the cable itself...there 3 vendors who sell EL-8 upgrade cables, maybe you can email them is they sell only the connectors. (Norne Audio, Plussound and C3 Audio)...

Thank you, for the list of companies. I'd not seen these listed elsewhere.

Note: There is an error in the text, which I had clarified in another thread by Audeze. The cable will be available in the future for all existing EL-8 owners. There is currently a shortage of the product, so the initial availability may be only for the special edition. But the cable is to be generally available not too long afterward.

Price for the cable?

Audeze did not provide a price for the stand-alone cable. Here is the link:

Please disregard my original post. I was considerably upset, seeing as this sounds like a perfect mobile companion to interface between my iPhone and my EL-8. I was pleased afterward, to find out I could eventually purchase just the cable.

Im curious. Are there any folks who prefer the EL8 to the LCD2? Ive heard both, but only for a few minutes each, and it was not enough time to form a strong preference. For folks who love the EL8 at the very least equally, what do you think are its greatest strengths?

So I just received my EL-8, and it sounded AWESOME... for about 10 minutes. Then, the right side lost signal. I tried unplugging and replugging the cable in a few times, but that didn't fix it.
Has anyone experienced something similar?

A lot of us experienced that. This is a common issue with either wiring inside the cups or the connectors. Even replacements seem to exhibit these issues. My recommendation is if you like it, get it replaced at the dealer (local or online) that you purchased the EL-8 from, or just outright return it and try purchasing it again. I wouldn't recommend going through Audeze customer service for a new product, unless you have purchased it directly from Audeze. It is far faster and easier to return or exchange at the dealer.

Same thing happened to me, very common issue. 6 weeks before I got my replacement pair, but i got them and it sounds great, I'm wearing them now!
