Makes sense! Thank you for clearing that up.

Many audiophiles have multiple IEMs, often with different connectors. This always meant having to buy separate cables for each type of connector, which is costly and inefficient.
But now the simple but elegant solution is finally here: Effect Audio is proud to announce ConX. ConX allows you to simply click the top-end connector of your choosing into your cable, providing maximum versatility for your favorite cables. No longer do you have to choose which IEMs to buy a cable for, and which not.
Through rigorous testing, we sourced the best materials to ensure the connector’s resistance is kept at a minimum. As a result, the performance of the ConX connectors is on par, if not exceeding those of most connectors on the market today when it comes to sound quality – just as you have come to expect from Effect Audio.


ConX will initially be available for 2-pin, MMCX, A2DC, and P - Ear connectors (more to follow).
And the best part is that Effect Audio is opening our doors to all cables: regardless of brand, you can send your cable to us to be re - terminated with ConX connectors.
Price: USD$50 + USD$30 retermination fee.

Limited promotion happening from now until End - March 2021
1) All new purchases from the Heritage series onwards will be entitled to a free ConX upgrade.
2) All existing EA cable owners will get a free upgrade to ConX (re-termination service charges of $30 applies).
3) We will also be accepting any non - EA cables to be upgraded for ConX at USD$80 (US$30 for Re-termination cost and US$50 for ConX).
4) There is an exclusive promotion for EA Club members on the new ConX.

What would be the cost for extra connectors? I'm guessing most would opt for 2-pin & MMCX connectors.

Ah yes, the classic cable debate. One of my greatest pleasures
I used to get into these all the time back in the day. Towards the end I learned that there truly is no point in wasting your energy on them. He is as determined as you are, and there is no way you will convince him with logical arguments. He is referring to impedance, but impedance is not the (primary) determining factor when it comes to differences between quality cables. Maybe just to separate crappy cables from good ones.
Have you let him listen to your different cables? Your only chance of convincing him is if he hears it for himself. Otherwise, just say "cool" and let it rest. I think that's much better for your emotional health than any argument I can craft for you
Ps. I wouldn't want to start a discussion here, but if you would like to engage in the conversation with your friend you can start a new thread in the cable section or post the question in the high-end iem cable thread perhaps? There are bound to be some enthusiasts that can come to your aid.
I came to this conclusion after several endless debates. Really just the person listening for himself. It is a lot of waste of time and exhausting conversations on this subject with those who have had no practical experience with several good cables. Not even me saying that I compared several models side by side he believes what I say.

Oh wow, definitely interested. Does the $30 termination fee for existing EA customers include all the 4 top-end plugs (2-pin, MMCX, A2DC, Pentacon) given to us?
Would be cool if you have similar concept with the end plug (3.5mm, 2.5mm, 4.4mm)

Excellent solution! It will give great flexibility to users and at the same time avoid unnecessary expenses (buy another cable just because of the connector). Very excited to do this with some EA cable that I have (or one that I will buy in the future)!

That's right for our existing EA cable owners until 31st March, US$30 (Re-termination Service charge) gets you the 2-pin, MMCX, A2DC, Ear, all as one set.

So excited, to get this done to my Cleopatra 4 wire.That's right for our existing EA cable owners until 31st March, US$30 (Re-termination Service charge) gets you the 2-pin, MMCX, A2DC, Ear, all as one set.

Brilliant idea!

Is your website down? I can't reach it
Also are those mmcx connectors compatible with campfire iems? They look a little different in the images unless I'm losing my vision.

It should be since Ken's connectors are universal. But, will let you know for sure once I get it back.
Horus X, Code 51, and Leo II 8wire are on its way to SGP now for an upgrade!!!
