I would like to ask if is the Ares II using the same insulation as the other cables because I have an Ares II+ and the cable is very stiff. The braiding above the Y-Split is already messed up.

I have the Ares II+ and I don’t think is stiff, definitely is not as supple as the regular Ares since it’s a thicker cable.
I bought also a couple of demo cables from a store that showed some used on the plugs but the cables were still in great condition without showing wear or damage.

I think the insulation of the ares II isn’t as flexible as say Leonidas and Horus. Still wouldn’t consider it stiff though. Just that their higher end cables are really supple and soft

Interesting because on the website, it says that that the Ares II uses the same insulation as the Leonidas.

I too have noticed Ares Ii being stiffer than the other EA cables I have. I believe it is not the insulation, but the wire itself.

Musicteck has the Lionheart for $100 off right now if anyone is looking to buy one.

My Janus D also arrives tomorrow

Just received my Janus D. Absolutely beautiful cable and I’m enjoying what I’m hearing so far with my LX from my iPhone. Can’t put it to a real test until my DX200 Ti arrives next week as I sold my regular one today.

Mixed thoughts on the 8 wires though, it may be too thick for me behind the ears. I’ll give it more time

Does anyone have any recommendations for a case that'll fit my CIEM LX and the Janus D nicely? The 8 wire is so thick it doesn't fit in my old case very well anymore.

TIA.

I carry my LX and 8-Wire Thor in the little EE baggie, which I carry inside a CaseLogic camera case. Not the most secure setup in the world, but not bad, either.

I was actually told from Ethan the EE bag is recommended for home use. Maybe I should give that a shot then. Do you have a link to this camera case?

399 seems like a good price for Lionheart! I was about to get the Thor II but maybe the Lionheart is better for the same price?

Which of these cables do you guys think pairs better w/ a warm IEM? I'm looking for improved transparency and treble extension mainly.

I’m using the leather case came with Leonidas. It’s big enough to accommodate Janus D plus 2 pigtail adapters.

This holds my 1a, LX, and 3 cables

It's not a special product unlike any other. Just any old camera bag/case big enough to carry your gear.

In fact, I just bought a new one, completely different, yet ultimately, servers just as well.

My DAP slips nicely into that thin sub-section, then a few IEMs in little bags or smaller cases can fit into the main space. There's plenty of pockets for SD cards, cables, and ear tips.

I'm probably in the minority here, but anyone else that doesn't really get along with the 8 wire configuration? I love the looks but I feel like there's too much weight.
