The Maestro is warm, but more so because of its subdued upper-treble, rather than an emphasised bass. The Virtuoso has the strongest, meatiest bass for me, but it's contrasted against a crisp, airy top-end. If bass is what you want, then the Virtuoso is the one to go for. The Maestro is if you want warmth, but you don't necessarily need the bass to get it.
Exactly what I was wanting to know! Thanks for your time man!

This is also very helpful to me, thanks.

I had a chance to listen to the Vogue series tour from Effective Audio.

The components that I used to test the Maestro, Virtuoso and Grandioso are:
1) Empire Ears CIEM Phantom and Spartan
2) DAPs: Cayin N6ii/A01 and Ibasso DX220/ amp9

Maestro given me the chance to enjoy the Spartan. This is a right cable that gives the Spartan more sub bass and bass that I have never listened with any cables included previous EA cables I got in hands like Ares II 4wire and 8wire and Eros II 8wire. The combination of Spartan and Maestro was performing excellently with both Cayin N6ii and DX220.

Virtuoso was connection via both Phantom and Spartan and N6ii and DX220. Even though I really don’t like pure silver due to its brightness (maybe I am wrong!) the Virtuoso sounds pretty good with Phantom and N6ii.

Grandioso was very interesting sound wise. I love this cable especially its built and how it is sounding just like Eros II 8 wire I own or even better. Listening with both DAPs DX220/ amp9 and Cayin N6ii/ T01 there was no differences in sound but to my ears I like Grandioso with Phantom and DX220 that produces a very analog sound.

I am very thankful and appreciate EA (Paul Zheng) especially Musicteck (Andrew) had given me a chance to test the Vogue Series and also hope Vogue will be made with 8 wire especially for the Grandioso that would bring up to another higher level of enjoying musics.

Thank you Paul,

I am not sure about the Vogue but here is what just happened...
I bought it here from another headfier approx. one year ago (used). The cable is at least 1 year old but it could be even 2 years old.

Great....Leonidas....

Hi All,

Have just received an Effect Audio Thor II 8 wire, for my Legend X IEMs - so far, so good. I have removed my current Lionheart cable, and have the left channel of the Thor II connected. I am struggling to get the right side in though. I am terrified of pushing this too hard and snapping/bending one of the pins! Anyone experienced this, or have any helpful techniques I may be able to utilize?

Thanks in advance.

Dan

Hi Dan, what i'll do if problems like this occurs is to clasp the pin steadily with the flesh of my index and thumb, and slowly insert it into the IEM port holes. do not wiggle in, just push it in slowly.
