I don't have any retailer in France to test that! So bad

Sorry to hear that man, we hope to set up a dealer support system in europe soon. Hope to get that settled so you guys get the chance to test our products! :) Meanwhile, do try to make London Canjam if you can! We'll be there !!

@EffectAudio

So I'm currently looking around replacement cables for my Senn HD800 and I have my eyes on the Ares II+.
I've noticed in your website that there are two types of Ares II+ for headphones: 4 braid and 8 braid.

May I know the difference between the two? What is the advantage of having 4 more braids?

Thanks

Heyy buddy,

Thank you for your interest in our products and for taking the time to write us these messages. The 8 wire braids offer a more dynamic and fuller, lusher sound compared to the 4 wires. However, not necessary a good thing considering your headphone's the HD800 which is light and airy. I would go for the Thor Silver II+. However, the Ares II+ would be more preferable if you want to smoothen the treble and thicken the body and adding some weight to it.

Hope this helps.

-Eric

Thanks Eric.

Yeah actually I want add some body and smooth things up a bit up top - for obvious reasons of course..
I am hesitant to use a silver cable for a inherently bright headphones..

Btw, if I go with the 8 wires braid Ares II+, will it congest the soundstage more compared to the 4 wires?

I'd really appreciate the input.

Heyy buddy,

You're most welcomed. No worries on the Ares II+ 8wires congesting the soundstage. The layering of your staging would be more precise.

It's time for our EA Annual Bonanza again! ~ Check it out!

Enter the Giveaway!
Great giveaway! Funny enough I was just thinking the other day that those three cables would be really nice to try out back-to-back, moving from pure copper to hybrid to pure silver.

8-wire gold plated silver...interesting. How are these different from a 8-wire Mars?

Just 'discovered' your brand when looking through exhibitors for Canjam London 2017, which I will be attending. Do you only offer single ended termination or is balanced available as a bespoke option? Which cable would you recommend for use with Mr Speakers Ether Flow (open version)? Anyone tried/own Mr Speakers Ether Flow (open version) and Effect Audio cable? If so impressions please.

Nope buddy! These aren't Gold plated Silvers and they're not 26AWG either :)

Those splitters are Bespoked in-house! :) Perhaps we'll offer a "Bespoke Service" for splitters much like IEM faceplates soon :)

Hope to see you there buddy :) We offer both balanced and singled ended terminations alike. I would recommend the Eros II+ for the Ether Flow. Ask Sam from Echobox, he's using one @EchoboxAudio or Dan from MrSpeakers :D
