Effect Audio cables thread

[fiascogarcia]

Hey hey what is this nonsense. You told me cables made ALL the difference when I was buying a few from you

-Collin-

I also have a few used cars I'd like to sell you! Oh, and some Arizona oceanfront property.

Nah, I like cables cause they're pretty!

Not an upgrade from horus

Nothing is an upgrade from Horus... except going all-in for Horus 8.

You should try Janus B or D depending on your preference.

I think Im seeing multiple copies of Satan tempting me with EA cables, BACK AWAYYYYYYY.

In all honesty as long as EA don't make Lionheart II or make a Hall of Fame version my wallet will be fine.

EA discontinued Leonidas mean they have something new cooking in their lab, so yea your wallet will be hating you very soon

Thats what worries me. Though that something new is probably a Leonidas sucessor or some odd monster like the Lionheart. It seems silly to me they would drop a better version of the Lionheart when the OG is still in production though.

That's weird they offering the upgrade on ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Effect-Audio-ARES-II-Upgrade-Cable/263947125445?hash=item3d747982c5mMjaAoRbiVGHZmqJASL0p-w&var=563433510066

Not just ares, but many other too

I was just looking on their (MusicTeck) website for pricing of cables, and realized that it's not an "upgrade" as in upgrade from 4wire to 8wire, but every single EA cable listed on their website has "upgrade" in their title, and apparently it means an upgrade cable from you stock cable or just an upgrade from whatever else you are using now. eBay listing is just a copy of their on-line store listing which mentions upgrade.

Secondly, it's essentially a question of 2.5mm against 4.4mm...

Not for me it wasn't. It was a question of what material is the P-EA Pentaconn made out of, always was and still is. To quote myself from my post....yuck..

Just be aware it's not the same materials as the 2.5mm Psquared. I asked about this but this is all I could muster...

OK, this can't fail..

Can you please speak to the materials used between P/EA Pentaconn and non-P?

Hey so two days after asking this of you, you posted directly below me in the 8 wire upgrade thread. You took the initiative to respond to members who posted a day after this post, but kinda rudely passed over me, both there and here. If you don't have an answer yet I'll even make it easier for you; just copy and paste : )

Eric, Clearly one is very much a joke I tell my closest friends to screw off almost daily through sneers, jeers and cheers...oh, and hugs. Promise I won't bug ya till Monday : )

I believe a Leonidas successor should be in the works or already done as the Lionheart is currently the only one in the Heritage Series.

1. What Thor wire upgrade?
2. Why in the world would you need an upgrade for Lionheart?

Thor II. Was looking to add a little more clarity, but probably just going to sell if anybody is interested

How much???
And what are the connectors??

Hmmm, not sure the Lionheart is what you want in that case.

Trying out the Lionheart w/ Hyla CE5.. sounds a bit more lush than stock especially in mids, so far so good I'd say, plus it is much prettier...

 

[KuroKitsu]

Woot, my Aries II made it to SG safely. Let the wait for 8 wire begin!

Nate, for starters, i do not wish to tangle with you and your malicious attacks ergo - the ignore. Your questions & posts were in no way an honest inquiry nor were they informative but rather misinformed and misleading. I reckon the animosity has started because of me refusing you on multiple accounts of strong arming us into doing a upgrade for your EE stock cable and giving you preferential treatment while keeping it a one-off for you and not for our other users. On that account - I apologise, i still wouldn't be able to do that even with your unwavering insistence as it would require us over stepping our jurisdiction on EE's operation & logistics.

Meanwhile, for clearing up the air on the 4.4mm connectivity
P-EA features a higher grade brass that is developed by Pentaconn. Whereas for it's CF housing it's been manufactured with high grade CNC standards that is made by Pentaconn as well.
For the regular EA 4.4mm its made with a usual gold plating and the machined aluminium body is not of Pentaconn works but of OEM.

Clearly, my stance has always been this - If there's anything that EA or I have not done well. I sincerely apologise and we will hope to improve further through constructive feedbacks with the community's kind understanding we have been throughly improving on our products and well as service on several accounts. For trollers and maliciously worded comments and posts - i still read although i do not engage.

-Eric

I'm upgrading from an Aries II that I got with EE terminated with a right angle 3.5mm so obviously upgrading to the 8 wire it was a no brainer to get the Psquared 3.5mm instead. That put a whole new bunch of questions in my head:

1. My guess is that the existing cable we have is getting taken apart and rebuilt with the new termination, extra wires needed and so on. How about the Y Split? There wasnt an option for choosing that there, will the new smaller one be used or the existing one reused?

2. Whats the processing time for the upgrade orders? IE. From the time EA recieves the cable and actually starts the order to completion?

It’s currently 11.23 PM Singapore time, but you can rest assured I’ll get Eric to answer these queries directly when I see him tomorrow morning.
