Bastian, my guys informed me that you've previously sent an inquiry to request for a change of cable because you've read that thor silver II+ might pair better. Unfortunately we do not have a policy of exchange.

Oh yes, i sended a question if the Effect audio have a upgrade program, and yesterday i received the eros II+
Now i have Thor I and Eros II+.

And now i don't llike both cables..
I said '' i buy the cable a months ago '', because i'm don't buy the cable directly, a friend buyed the both cables
I am buyed the cables yesterday
I live in Chile.
I don't know the date of buy, but he said to me '' i listen less than 20m both cables '', he have a lot of custom cables
sorry for edits, is confusing to explain

I bought the ares ii for my Andromeda from Amazon. I'm not a cable believer but I did not like the memory wire and the right angled jack. I don't expect much in terms of sound difference however I am looking forward to the better ergonomics. The USA dealer on Amazon is a game changer for me since I don't need to wait a month or more for an order now.

Let the cable burn in for about 200hrs.

Leonidas is gold silver.
Lionheart is copper gold, not sure if there's silver.

Lionheart materials: Gold Plated Copper and Silver Plated Copper (One strand of each)

Heyy guys~

Yep, Lionheart is somewhat a fusion of both our flagship's materials with a variant of Copper as catalyst. It's made up 2 essential core materials:
1) Copper plated with same type gold plating as "Mars"
2) Copper plated with silver used in "Leonidas"

Don't be fooled by the price bracket, its a flagship performing piece as well. Reviews will be coming up soon!

Thanks buddy! Please do support our dealer - MusicTeck. Albeit, i gotta clarify... our lead time has been rather short. We've rarely hit a month (Normally 3-5 days lead time) unless for unique cases like "Leonidas" and "Lionheart" where the materials are scarce and we're constantly out =/

Here something to warm y'all up...

 

[blazinblazin]

I am waiting for comparison between Lionheart and Leonidas

 

[rawrster]

Apparently I can't quote with the new forum version. I reread my previous post and it does sound misleading. I didn't mean effect audio in particular but rather how the majority of cable companies takes a month or longer.

Edit: I got the cable today(2 or 3 days after purchasing it from amazon) and seems to be exactly what I wanted in ergonomics.

I wanted so much to have the opportunity to test a @EffectAudio Lionheart demo cable in Brazil...

The elusive "Lionheart" will be up for pre-order at 2200hrs GMT+8. Only 15 units are up!

Meanwhile, on another note. "Leonidas" is again, out of stocks. We apologise for the many disappointments that accompanied the automated rejection we've been sending out due to piling up back-orders. We'll get both these statement pieces back in stock as soon as we can!

While I already own the Leonidas, I can't help wondering which part of it is keeping the manufacturing lagging behind.............just curious.

@EffectAudio Currently the PSquared Plug is only available in 3.5mm TRS or is there options for 2.5mm TRRS too?

 

[Ultrainferno]

Lionheart has arrived but in the mean time we're having a look at the new 4.4 balanced cable by Effect Audio. Will 4.4 become the new standard for balanced plugs you think? Or will the A&K 2.5 stay the most used balanced connector for portable devices?

I'd still go with 2.5mm for a few years. AK marketing power is way stronger than Sony.

 

[rawrster]

It's not just AK using the 2.5mm. I know Fiio and Opus are using that as their balanced output for their daps and I'm sure others are as well. I don't believe there will ever be a standard for balanced jacks however 2.5mm is probably the closest we have to it.
