If we are talking about excellent pairings, then I would have to list the Vision Ears VE5 with Lionheart as one of my all-time favourite pairings. Lionheart makes the VE5 sound incredible natural by adding just a little bit of warmth for very accurate sounding instruments. I always wanted to do a direct comparison between that pairing and the Phantom with Eros II 8W to see which of the two pairings would fit my own definition of "natural" best. It was actually that pairing that has kept the VE5 at the top of my wish list ever since I heard it.
So there I was talking about the VE5 and Lionheart, and what do you know... Vision Ears kindly sent me the VE5 on loan again for my upcoming classical music review series! Obviously I immediately took Lionheart back out of secure storage, paired it with the VE5 and it is still every bit as good as I remember it. Even better now that I have a higher end source with the Lotoo PAW6000 and Shanling M8. Will need to listen to the pairing with the M8 more soon because I suspect violin solos will sound amazing with that and the VE5/Lionheart. :ksc75smile:

Hey Erik, this is interesting to read!
Will you be posting any comparisons vs the Phantom+Eros II 8-w? :)

I might because I would love to compare the two pairings, but I have no idea when I might get around to it.

Here is my Thor Silver II+ enjoying some Yuletide relaxation.

The product that is on my EA Christmas wish list is the Horus Octa.

Is there a visual difference between non-PSquared vs PSquared plugs?
I'm looking to purchase an Ares II palladium 2.5mm secondhand to pair with the LX, and I'd want to be certain it's the real deal.
I'm currently using Ares II 8W and I find it softens the bass too much for my taste.
Thanks!

I'm still in (musical) heaven with the EA Horus...

but I wouldn't mind (= understatement) to 'catch' a Leo II as well.

Merry Christmas to all of you out there, and please stay healthy! :santa:

This combo is fantastic! The speed, stage, air, detail, and impact are stunning, while still being smooth and very analoge sounding. When I put on some well recorded jazz or live folk, I feel like I am there. This combo has got the "natural" sound sig, on lock.:ksc75smile:

Here is another awesome pairing. The Campfire Lyra II & EA Maestro, have incredible synergy and have become one of my favorite combos. :ksc75smile:

Happy Holidays to all, and a big thanks to EA for great products!

Dear Santa (aka. EA),

All I want for Christmas is the Code 51. :ksc75smile::fingers_crossed::fingers_crossed:
