I have been seriously thinking about re-pairing U12T with EA Eros S- as this would not elevate any part of the FR but improve stage width-depth (or so reviewers say, comparing it to stock). I never listened to U12T via stock as I put Eletech Project 8 Fortitude on the U12T new- I’m unsure if I’m looking for a difference I’m not going to hear easily. I was about to order the EA one but haven’t yet pulled the trigger.

Impression with Eros S from 14-BA driver IEM Master from Hercules Audio .

Your current cable is a 8 wire copper cable. Upgrading to Eros S, which is a hybrid cable with silver and copper cores, will actually give you a more balanced signature across the spectrum. The stock cable of a 64 audio IEM is silver plated copper, with the addition of silver it will give slightly better air and creation of space.

The Eros S will actually help you to achieve a wider and deeper stage and also better sense of air and separation. It will have the advantage of both silver and copper cable, the best of both worlds. At first glance, you might not have a particular spectrum that pops out, but soon you will notice the wider stage and make every instrument placement that much more accurate.

If you favour lusher mids and vocal, a full copper 8 wire cable will have an upper hand. If you strike for spectrum balance and width of stage Eros S will nail it.

Guess many of you has been enjoying the #GreatnessofSS for quite sometime, sorry for those who ordered in the first batch that has been waiting for long time!!!

Signature Series has finally came to the stage that have stable supply and so I have some time to explore something crazy based on current design.

We will be releasing a very limited run for a Crazy project on Monday, please save the date and hopefully you will love what I have created for you!!!

Thanks for the suggestions!
Just got my EVO X, looks good and sounds great! I do really like that warm and sweet vocal.

Thanks- really appreciated. That’s exactly what I’m hoping for- going to go for the 2.5 mm balanced cable direct from EA, to which I will use an Eletech 2.5 mm to 4.4 mm pigtail adapter to go into balanced and 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapter into SE when needed.

As you say, an IEM that needs more support for the mids might do better with the 8 wire copper cable than U12T has (that needs no such mids support). I may move the 8 wire copper cable to my UM 3DT and see how that pairing works -as UM 3DT mids are somewhat recessed.

yeah Ive heard some good things about the holographic ability of eros s, I bet that would work wonders for the u12t man

I don't have Dorado, but familiar with Vega which has a darker lo-res tuning, and Dorado FR is very close to Vega. But, regardless of the tuning, Campfire IEMs usually come with their own SPC stock cable, and while no silver-plated copper sounds the same, Cadmus might give you a closer tonality to a stock cable, and some reduction in bass impact along with better control of the bass. If you tried Ares II and want to upgrade, I think Eros S would make more sense. M6 Pro 21 is a warmer source, Ares S is a warmer cable, Cadmus might kill Dorado sub-bass, Eros S should pair up the best out of these three.

Thanks for your recommendation, now I have the cable and it's great!

@Mangodango369 Yes, that's right! Do check out the limited Ares S Founder's Edition here. It will be dropping really soon at 9pm SGT (GMT+8) 😎

@Wouden Looking great! Let us know what you like best for this pairing! 🙌🏽

And…
-it’s gone…10 sets made only! 🙀 I hope those lucky colleagues who got one in time thank their lucky stars. For the rest of us-1 of the regular Signature series should work well.

How can they be sold out as it's stated that (Sale opens on 24th August 2022, 9pm SGT. While Stock Lasts.)?
It's 4 PM of the 24th in Singapore now.

@jlemaster1957 @Andricop Apologies for the confusion! I just checked in with the eCommerce team. All is fine! it's not sold out, they just temporarily set it as 0 qty (the system recognises as "sold out") and the listing will open for sale at 9pm SGT sharp!

edit at 9pm: It's out now! 🎉

There must be some lucky winners who are able to snap up one of the 10 cables. They are all gone in a blink of an eye. Stay tuned for some impressions.

Since the Effect Audio GAEA is a hybrid IEM with both dynamic Driver and BA driver. I can see it as a really good IEM for cable rolling. Because the two types of drivers will have a very different response with different materials. Adding the Ares S Founders Edition that is made of multiple metal combinations, it can see it has a huge potential be a interesting pairing with the IEM from Effect Audio. GAEA.
