Jordon, Thank you for your reply. However, from studying the photos of either Termination on your website, it looks like the electrical connectors of both are made of gold-plated brass, with only the casing made of different materials, i.e. titanium or stainless steel, with carbon fibre infill. I therefore don't expect there would be any significant difference in sound quality. Decisions, decisions ...

I run this combination off an SP2000 and agree with you that it's pretty amazing. But the evil temptress at my favourite local head-fi shop has planted a seed and its name is Chiron. Seriously though, he says I should try it, because he thinks I will like it and so I will!Christmas came 2 days earlier than expected. I hit my end game today. Empire Ears Odin + Leonidas ii Octa....... wow it's smooth. I am now very curious how the EA Chiron cable sounds with these IEMs... These paired with the Leo 2 octa is just amazing. Speechless tbh.
When you try it let me know how you like it compared to the Leo, super curious if it’s worth the upgrade hahaI run this combination off an SP2000 and agree with you that it's pretty amazing.

The connector used for Chiron is P4.4 connector which is a collaboration project with Pentaconn, and the Term X 4.4 is NOT from Pentaconn, thats where the difference happen.Jordon, Thank you for your reply.

Furthermore the barrel is different, the default is a Titanium made connector, which aesthetically suits Chiron well compare to the TermX.

Suyang, Thank you for your reply. I note that the two connectors are from different manufacturers. All I am seeking is confirmation that the actual electrical parts (i.e. the tip, rings and sleeve) of both comprise gold-plated brass. I would be grateful for your confirmation.The connector used for Chiron is P4.4 connector which is a collaboration project with Pentaconn, and the Term X 4.4 is NOT from Pentaconn, thats where the difference happen.

Yup, both of them are gold-plated brass, just the supplier is different.Suyang, Thank you for your reply. I note that the two connectors are from different manufacturers.

Just read thru the past 50 most recent posts. Somehow I missed info on these cables and company. Looks like a company the values it’s customers and there feedback so considering them for my next cable.
Currently suffering from long Covid so spend a lot of the day unable to do much. Music been such a lifeline and way to escape from the pain and fatigue. Really great to have these forums to help find great products and people that enjoy music as much as I do.
Anyways looking for something to pair with mest mkii and tube amplifier so thinking something that more neutral and doesn’t cost more than the iem.

Any silver cable would be ok I think. Check out the EA VIRTUOSO or if you can find a older one, EA Thor Silver ii is good
ay-caMAMBA! -- a new toy! Many thanks to @Suyang and his team for making it happen. Now for the 50-100 hour burn-in...
That's so very cool. How does one become a member of EA Club? I'm a sucker for one-of-a-kind or very limited things.

Crazy as it may sound, I don't know. @Suyang and his boys did it for me at Canjam. Something to do with some FB thing...That's so very cool. How does one become a member of EA Club? I'm a sucker for one-of-a-kind or very limited things.

I can imagine how good these is. the Leo II is one of those cables that most of the IEMs will benefit from it. Independent of the base tuning of the IEM.Christmas came 2 days earlier than expected. I hit my end game today. Empire Ears Odin + Leonidas ii Octa....... wow it's smooth. I am now very curious how the EA Chiron cable sounds with these IEMs... These paired with the Leo 2 octa is just amazing. Speechless tbh.

I listened to EA Cleo with 64 Audio and it sounded great.I never had a Effect audio cable before, and looking to upgrade my 64 Audio u12t IEMs with one. Does anyone have a suggestion they can point me to? I was looking at the EFFECT AUDIO - LEONIDAS II, but man, at $999 its hard to swallow. I am looking for a cable that would have a 4.4m connector, and the leonidas does. Of all the U12t users, which effect audio cable would you recommend?
