u18s eros.jpg


Having tried the P37 and P38 during the prototype period, or finally revealed as the Cadmus and Ares S, I was excited to give the Eros S a go, and boy did it not disappoint.

The cable has a unique texture akin to the Chiron, and is extremely supple and pliable. The final hardware really complements the look of the grayscale cable and seals the premium package of the cable.

Hooking it up to my U18s, which already has incredible staging and resolution, the Eros S enhances that further, making the soundstage even more expansive and layered, bringing out microdetails to the forefront.

The cable is still fresh so I'll be listening to it a lot more before popping more detailed impressions but I am blown away just by the fact alone that this is just $299. The price-defying auditory performance, 8-wire configuration, premium hardware and feel of the cable, the impeccable build quality that we have come to know and love from Effect Audio, and I haven't even mentioned the packaging and unboxing experience yet! They even managed to squeeze in budget to include a cleverly designed carrying case.

Shout out to @JordonEA for giving me the opportunity to experience the Signature series - I think you have a winner here in the new series!

Got notice a couple days ago that my Cadmus has shipped. Got notice today that expected delivery is next Tuesday.
This is the comp. cable I am receiving for taking part in the launch.

I would like to thank the team at Effect Audio once again for the invitation to take part and for the cable.

When Cadmus arrives ... it's heading straight to a reunification with Timeless.

How does this new Cleopatra sound compared to the original and will it also have an 8w version?

An no worries, already in contact with support. Bespokeing my Code 51 with the Chiron 4w, something that amazing doesn't happen overnight. It's still early in the process so I'm content to wait for now, besides you must have lots going on with CanJam this weekend, I'm just eager. The anticipation is building though, am really looking forward to how this can improve or enhance the Code 51.

I'm lucky I have a backup to keep me happy.

How do you like the Centurion with the Phantoms? I've been using a Leo II Octa, and love it. I also use the Leo II with my LX and it's great there as well.

It's waayyyy overkill. :smile: The Phantom pairs well-enough with my Leo II (4W) already... and now that I think about it, the Phantom with Eros S was pretty darned good. I think that's a good sweet spot in terms of bang for the buck with the Phantom.

Mine also shipped and excepted delivery also is Tuesday. It is going to be connected to the Mest Mkii and will begin the burn-in process. Looking forward to hearing and seeing the finished product.

Thanks, UM for the opportunity to be part of this experiment of testing unknown prototypes. Enjoyed it and the gift cable was a nice bonus.

Effect Audio Cadmus is a very well balanced cable. Both vocals and instruments haa equal amount of focus and sparkes added on top for enjoyment. Huge bang for the buck.

I actually just shifted my Horus to pair with the Phantom and I'm pleasantly surprised after my Phantom being on Lionheart for the longest time. Clears up the mids and resolution and imaging was boosted slightly. Special thanks to @EffectAudio again for fixing the larger sized barrel on my Horus

I enjoyed my time today at Effect Audio’s booth at Canjam, listening to the new Cleopatra 2 demo units. There’s both 4 wire and 8 wire to choose from. Thanks to @JordonEA who patiently let me sit there listening for what must have been an hour or more!

We are all ready for the new Cleo S cable. It is actually a really lush silver cable compared to the Original Cleo. Vocals have great density while the signature still maintains the quality of a silver cable. It has a really wide sound stage and the bass is actually really powerful but extremely clean.
