A short impression of the Thor Copper
 

 
(Player: Cowon Plenue D ; Earphone: JH5)
 
 
Before I start, I must say that this was not the beginning of my experience with the brand cables. I own the Ares cable also (first model) and make some comparisons between him and Thor Copper.
 
When I received the cable already realized that there was an evolution in the finish of the materials. The P2 connector and the cable splitter me seemed more resistant and beautiful at the same time (I enjoyed the details in carbon fiber). The cable itself seemed more malleable and flexible cable that Ares! (Which was already good, improved even more! )
 
Compared with Ares cable, which already is an excellent cable and was a great improvement over the cable JH Audio stock, I found the sound became more detailed, the bass and treble gained more definition and extension.

The mids however performed more timid compared to the Ares cable. The mids in Ares cable are warmer and softer compared to the cable Copper Thor. However the Thor mids they are still good, have good performance.

My conclusion is that Thor Copper cable would be more analytical, detailing, while Ares cable would be more musical, fun, hot, euphonic.
 
 
PS: I also did a review of Ares cable if you want to read http://www.head-fi.org/products/effect-audio-occ-pure-copper-ares/reviews/12420

"Y splitter might be a little less heavy"

I agree. I noticed the same thing in Thor Copper...

Eh, I actually enjoy that it weights a little bit versus being extremely light.
I like to have a slight downwards pull when wearing my IEMs so the cable doesn't fly around, though I can see how the weight would be annoying with a sling bag.

In my case, the weight is harmful, because after some time has passed, it starts to hurt my ear because my IEM is custom (JH5).

Hmm, I am also using customs with them, I guess it is just personal preference / anatomy..

  Anyone has an Ares 2+ can give a mini review on how it sounds? Wanted to upgrade my Thor copper to Ares 2+ but don't really know how's the sound signature.

 
I have the first generation Ares and Thor Copper. I made a comparison between them in this topic.
 
I'm also curious about the Ares II+. If someone can write about ...

I have totally forgotten that I have emailed Effect Audio asking for a comparison between Eros and Ares2+.
And from what they replied was
Eros - Balanced with more details
Ares 2+ - Thicker in mids, sweeter vocals and tighter bass
