Interesting, I was wondering about whether or not the Eros I would be V-shaped because it is a hybrid cable. I'm also curious if the Eros II is the same in that regard.

Do you know if the copper used in the Eros I and II is the same as in the Ares I and II?

Hey man, I was under the impression that Eros I combined strands from Ares I and Thor Silver I. Whereas Eros II uses Ares II and Thor Silver II wires.

@EffectAudio By the way, Eric, how does the sound of the Eros hybrid compare to the Ares II? When I spoke to Piotr about the different cable options, that was the other suggestion he made and I initially thought it would match my preferences better. Now that I have heard the Ares II I am curious about the differences.

Eros tends to gravitate towards the warmer tone and emphasizes on the mid and lows. Vocals representation on the Eros is rather sweet and alluring.

Hi, I am looking for a cable for my ee spartan adel. Would like to see more aggressive subbass, slightly more midbass, slightly recessed mids and slightly increased treble. Thx in advance for the reccomendations.(basically a v shape/ L shape signature)

"Lionheart" will win you over bruh.

Eros is a combination of Ares & Thor Silver Gen 1

Thanks Eric! So many interesting options... :wink:

But first I will have to say goodbye to the Ares II this morning and ship it back to @ostewart. It has been a treat and I really enjoyed it!

Any comparison on Leonidas vs Lionheart?

Heyy buddy,

The reason you don't really see the comparison between "Leonidas" and "Lionheart" is because the contrast is too huge ; a stark difference to them. "Leonidas" is a silver based catalyst cable while "Lionheart" is a copper based catalyst cable. Essentially you're looking at 2 very distinct sound characteristics. Where do you reside in? Perhaps i could point you in the right direction to have a audition of our cables :)

yesterday after auditioning at a local retailer, I splurged on Eros II+ for my andros, Ares II for my ibasso IT03 and Thor Copper 8 for my fitear parterre! major wallet hemorrage >.<' but the improve over what i had been using is evident even prior to running them in.

How do you like the ares II with your it03?

Just out of curiosity. I have been talking about the VE5 and keep wondering what sort of cable would combine well with its unique signature. The focus of the VE5 is on the upper-mids and treble, as well as vocals.
I bet they will tell you lionheart again, considering that it increases the body of the mids and bass. It will probably make a n shaped signature where bass is increased past the treble or maybe both bass and treble will be perceived as about the same. You will never know till you try

I was wondering about that, seeing how Lionheart is copper-based and the VE5 is intentionally tuned to avoid emphasis on the lows (if I understand it correctly). So I could also imagine that a silver-based cable would be a better match, but then again that could adversely affect the upper-mids and treble. I am just curious how that works, as my experience with cables is limited and the Ares II really surprised me.

Hi guys, what sounds good for the Andros paired with WM1A in balanced up to around $600? Looking at a non-fatiguing smooth sound that goes deep with great rumble but not losing mids or highs. I'm currently using ALO Ref 8 but is very noisy with the microphonics.

Lionheart or leonidas or maybe ares 2+
