Thanks! Yeah, this pairing has something really special to it and I am looking forward to getting the full review out. I just posted my second review of the series, so next up is this pairing.

Good stuff! I have always been curious about the Lionheart. Synergy is definitely real.

Hi buddy, nice to see a familiar face!

Yes I found this nice little corner on the forum to dip my toes back in the water, taking it slowly from there

Glad to see you're still enjoying the hobby, did you keep writing by any chance? I enjoyed your reviews back in the day.

By gum, it is!

Lol!!

If you're considering Code 51, expect an in increase in resolution and transparency; a greater amount of detail and overall finesse to the sound. If you value technical performance and can afford it, you can't go wrong

Concerning other cables, it depends on what kind of sound are you looking for? Let us know and maybe I or others can help.

Thanks for your answer.
Actually I'm pretty happy with how the stock cable of the Infinity sounds but I'm looking for something a lot more comfortable.
I'm not looking to have something more "clinical" but more "organic" without losing details, soundstage and airiness.
I don't want more bass either but if bass can have more impact it would be great.

Hey all,

I hate to be that guy, but I want to give a quick plug for my Horus for sale!

Personally, I really like what I’m hearing on the pairing of Infinity2 and Horus. I hear an increase in resolution+clarity and a bump in lower mids which adds body to vocals for a more liquid and organic signature. There is a slight reduction in sound stage and airness as mids are more forward on the Horus but I’m willing to compromise but the improved mids.

All EA cables are built for comfort besides sound, so no worries there. Only the 'plus' cables with a thicker gauge size are less flexible. Code 51 produces high resolution with sacrificing naturalness, it doesn't sound clinical. Other options for an organic sound could be Janus D or Eros II 8-wire, both are great options in terms of combining naturalness and resolution but are 8-wires.

Also a great option!

My first set of ConX arrived, attached to Leo and Cleo!

Looks great! Very curious to try it for myself soon.

Anyone received their ConX conversions?

Just send the cables to EA. Hope can receive in next week...

Anyone received their ConX conversions?

I received my converted Janus, Leonidas II and Code 51 cables last week (the perks of living an hour away from Singapore), and I've just been able to give them a proper go. So far, the connection system seems to work as advertised. They're as solid and sturdy as EA's usual, non-ConX, 2-pin connectors. And, as a plus, they look better to me too. For me, the very first unscrew of the 2-pin heads were rather tough on all three cables. I had to use a fair bit of force (and bravery). But, after that, they all balance security and ease pretty well. Of course, only time will tell whether or not that'll hold up after numerous swaps. Sound-wise, I don't have any non-ConX variants of these cables here to compare against, but I'm not hearing any obvious oddities or degradation. There aren't any sound cut-outs or channel imbalances either. But, again, only time and use will tell whether or not that'll hold up in the long run.

I hope to test the MMCX heads soon with my FiR Audio universals. And, I also hope to get some more consumer feedback coming in soon, so we can get a better gauge of these connectors' reliability and consistency. But, as of now, these do very much seem like the real deal.

Thanks for sharing Daniel!! Very thorough

After a couple of days listening I also don't hear any degradation in sound, but always good to get some objective opinion in first
