Hmm, I haven't received any notice and I haven't received any cables either. Were they all shipped out?

I just grabbed a set of the Leo II 8w. Is that something that can be combined with the Code 51?

The difficulty I have is my main IEM's are from a brand that is rightfully hated and despised so finding others to help me make the best pairing is near impossible. I'm too much of a layperson to be able to appreciate some of the subtle differences a cable can make, so I try to use others impressions that have matched mine as a guide. For myself I can't always tell during a blind test but then one song will play and it's like night has turned into day and the differences are less subtle and you can hear an improvement.
I'm not really sure what needs improvement as I'm not really qualified to even comment on (bass, mids, treble, soundstage, clarity or detail). I just know I saw a great deal on the Leo II 8w and my Code 51's are in the process of getting ready to be retermined I figured why not look at combining them if that's possible and would offer any sort of benefit. I'm open to all suggestions on improvement.

Hi Shawn,

Got you, for my opinion Code 51 is a great cable in general, especially the sound stage, positioning, separation and detail, if I have to name on something that is lacking compare to Chiron of Centurion, I would say it will be great to add on abit of dynamism to be closer to Chiron.

Just got my Ares S today and i couldn't be happier. I got it specifically for my detail monsters, the Tri Starlight. The cable is so nice to hold. It feels very premium. I also compared it to the original Ares that i have attached permanently to my Andromeda Gold. It is much more robust in the hand, but still feels soft and comfortable to wear around the ears. I'm not disappointed in this purchase at all. Very highly recommend for the price.
Also the unboxing experience is very nice. The original only came in a small box. This one comes in a larger box with a pouch and a leather cable holder. A very nice touch by Effect Audio.

Great to see another friend received SS::

Enjoy it and hope you love it as much as we do.

You're not alone. I haven't either.

Maybe they didn’t ship them all at once? I Imagine the rest of us will get our shipping notice soon. I been checking my mail since @saldsald received his set.

 

[Blanchot]

For me it took 3 weeks from ordering to shipping.

Sadly bespoke is only available if I buy a new cable. Won’t do it if I already own both cables. Very disappointing to hear

That's right! Our logistics team are hard at work to ensure all units get send out as soon as possible! Do check your email inboxes We should be able to get the Signature Series babies shipped out these 2 weeks time

So the cadmus is new to me as I never got to check out the prototype. Being a silver plated UPOCC cable I had to get one. It is exactly how I imagined they would perform. Fantastic pairing with my Moonlights. Love how clean the background foundation for its sound enhancing angle. The Cadmus brings a slightly wider stage vs the ARES S due to the added silver element. This cable matches up not only well with tribrids but single dynamics as well.



It does for the Vortex what it does for my Moonlights. Very consistent highly transparent cable from Effect Audio. Love these cables.



Had to get a set of ARES S. UPOCC for me is it for pure copper. The Tansio Mirai Sands is an extremely detailed hybrid and a higher end UPOCC synergizes so well with these. Was the reason why I got a set to match up with this earphone. Listening to this combo as I am typing. I can't see me using any other cable on these.

Yeah, great to hear you have received them, enjoy your Ares S and Cadmus, get cable rolling game started.

The Cadmus was such a great pairing with 64 audio Trio. That was my favourite match during all my testing.

 

[saldsald]

I actually find the Ares S slightly bassier and Cadmus quite a bit bassier than their prototypes somehow. I think they both need a lot more burn-in...

That’s interesting I woulda thought they sound the same as the prototype’s, has anything else changed in your system? Could be that our audio memory isn’t prefect and might just be your mind playing tricks with you on any difference’s btw release and prototypes. Be interesting once there burned in more.
The only other thing that comes to mind would be the release uses the ConX connection instead of the prototype 2 pin connection or the termination ends are different with them.

Nothing has changed in my system and I played the very same tracks. Well you know it's a bit tense now with the Cadmus so I hope it's not due to my memory. Could likely be the cable not having enough burn-in time. Yeah I also wonder if the ConX conncetors make any sonic difference. The Ares S sounds almost identical to the prototype for me thou and I think it needs much less burn-in time.

Edit: it definitely needs more burn-in, already a lot more open sounding today.

@Suyang what is the sound signature to bespoke a code 51 Octa?

 

[saldsald]

I only just unboxed the Eros S (yeah, after 5 days of receiving it) and it's really impressive especially with signle DD IEMs or more natural sounding ones with less bass boost! It is kind of like a more textured Ares S for the moment.
