What do you guys think of a EE x EA tour together? Which region should we hold it and what models are you guys particularly interested in and do not have the chance to demo?
@Jack Vang

Australia. Whole range.

Any suggestions for a cable that I could pair with my EE Legend X to smooth out treble while maintaining clarity?

I would second that. However, consider that a Leonidas with my Tia fourte made the treble just a hair bit too peaky for my taste. However, the Horus did the trick and sounds magical. However, I tried a Leonidas with a more neutral IEM, the U18t, and it also provided great clarity and the treble was nowhere near sibilant.

I believe this is because the Leo's emphasis is mostly in the upper-midrange/lower-treble (which is more sibilance prone), while the Horus raises the upper-treble.

Legend X is kinda hard to pair. I can't really find the perfect match for the iem yet.
So far, I like Legend X with Horus on 380ss, Legend X with Mars+Leonidas bespoke on 380Cu but they are still not the perfect match.

【 Janus - D..elayed 】

Janus.jpg

Guys, we're expecting the our "Janus" shipping out date to be slightly delayed. It's largely due to a design consideration that SY and myself have brought up - We feel that that the Y-split design that was showcased in CanJam Singapore (in the pic above) does not completely meet the Effect Audio's standard. We've since redesigned it and have it produced according to our specifications. For all of you guys who have pre-ordered the "Janus" all around the world, please accept my sincerest apologies! As usual i'll be here if you need more clarifications or status updates :)

The first round of "Janus" Pre-Order has been completely filled - We've re-opened the PreOrder for "Janus" batch #2 over here !

EST Ship out date for #1 Pre-Orders - Early - Mid May.

-Eric

I dunno, I kinda like the clean look of this y split, I'm personally not that much of a fan of too much carbon fibre

love the look. Even though I have heard both Janus's with the Phantom, I'd love to be able to have an extended period of time as you know Eric. As for Tours of the EE's, I own the Bravado and Phantom's, but would love extended time with the X (a burned in one as I've not heard it burned in with it's 3db less bass that is tight) and whatever EA cable that you guys feel suit it best. @ironpig, PM me when you can buddy. Thanks so much Eric! You guys really are great. '

For those who haven't met Eric or Suyang or the other EA guys, they are awesome to hang with. Go see them at Canjam's if you can.

Thanks buddy, we actually have a great time doing cable rolling with Jack & Dean in Shanghai recently. I concur with Dean - "Janus D" SINGS on the Legend X and Phantom does wonders with the "Leonidas" !~ I may keep that in mind for the tour :)

Meanwhile, here's some pics of our press release in Shanghai together.

Empire Ears showcased their highly popular X series & EP series with features on "Legend X" and "Phantom" which captured the hearts of many with it's HiFi-like presentation.

Jomo Audio discussed "Pinnacle Project" and "Concept : Melange".

We officially launched the "Janus" and explains ‘Palladium' impact on sound signature ~

Thanks so much Eric. Now I'm bummed as I didn't get to hear the Leonidas cable. DARN!!! :). I got to spend time with Dean and we hear very similarly, so I'm sure I'd like Leon better. As you know I went back and forth on the Janus cables as both are outstanding, but as you said the D is the one that matches best with Phantom. It also shows that unless you have dead silence, it's very difficult to really audition. I think if I had the ability at a show, I'd mock up a booth that was lined with sound proofing of sorts so that folks could properly hear your beautiful cables and whatever IEM's you are showcasing. Same for IEM companies. Cables make such a huge difference as does source (Eric, I need to get I touch with you guys on DAC/AMPs and you can ask Ethan. I know what I'm talking about here).

I also love the fact that you work with Jamo too. Daniel just turned me onto their lower priced, single proprietary BA IEM yesterday. It looks great for the under 400 usd price range. I wish I could get one in to listen to so that I would be able to recommend it to friends and my daughter and son (and their other college friends) as that's at teh top of their price range, but doable).

You guys are awesome and get it. Thanks so much.

Bad experience with my bespoke cable:frowning2: I got my bespoke cable one month before ... but it seems like some wrong on my cable before I got it ... part of the wire near the Y split is melted and broke, the plastic inside 4.4mm male is also melted and broke ... now the wire comes out, and I have not idea whats going on with my cable...:frowning2: Is the problem on my side? Or... I got the Ares ii 4 wire for one year already, but it still looks good...
