  What is the current wait time for the ares 2? im UK based.
 
Was looking at toxic cables but their wait time is 8-12 weeks, which is too much.
 
Also, anyone with the ares 2, would you recommend them and are they worth the price?

They've always been very fast for me.
 
About two weeks ago I ordered Ares II on a Thursday evening and according to the tracking it was sent out on Friday, arrived in UK on Monday and then I had to wait until Wednesday for Royal Mail to deliver it.
 
They pretty good for the price imo, but depending what you are pairing them with you might be perfectly content with a sub-£100 set from another vendor. I'm planning on getting an iem upgrade (Noble django) soon so I was paying a bit more even though they are probably overkill for my current iems (heir 4.ai). I can't speak for the sound as that's down to personal preference and I don't have any properly working cables to compare it to but they are a satisfactory replacement to my old Effect apollo cable that broke. Only negative so far for me is that there might be long term durability issues with the cable going into the connector with no rubber flex cover/shrink wrap protecting the cable end against wear.

Protecting the end with plastic is what I may need, that's where my last two cables have failed. My iems are the custom 1964 quads which I love. But would love a cable than can bring the vocals out more and extend the treble and add some detail whilst still keeping the smooth/warm sound.

Do you think the ares 2 fits the bill? Spoken to Frank from toxic, the two other options I asked for are in stock and as he is UK based might have to go for him unless the ares is better.

Hello Orskar, Thank you for your previous support of our Brand & Products Yes, our current production team headed by our founder, Suyang in Singapore is able to maintain lead time within 2 weeks. Our production and processing lead time would be 2-3 working days upon confirmation of order. Subsequently, the shipping lead time would be dependant on the option you prefer. 

Standard International Shipping - 10 to 14 days
Express - (Depends on country) 3-5 days

The Apollo is a great cable that we used to have in our repertoire, however, it has been discontinued and refreshed as Effect Audio grows. Our current cable uses our in house designed 3.5mm / 2.5mm connector plugs that has been designed to prevent cable spoilage from wear & tear due to no heat shrink/rubber flex. I believe you'll see when you receive the Ares II!

Have a great day ahead!

Best Wishes,
Eric

Hello Darkwasim786,

We understand your concerns and am glad you've feedbacked to us! Along the way, as Effect Audio progresses, its all the inputs from our friends / users that made us better! As we've previously mentioned in the post prior. our new connector is able to mitigate the stress on the cables and reduces cases of wear & tear cable spoilage near the connector . Meanwhile, if you would like us to add the heatshrink to the cable, we can do special requests too. 

Our recommended cable based on your sonal characteristics preference would be the Eros or Eros II+. We reckon a Pure Silver / Silver Plated Copper cable probably wouldn't be able achieve your preferential sound. The Eros II & Eros II+ being a a hybrid cable, retains the smoothness  & introduces a tinge of warmth into the mix, while bringing out more staging, depth and details. If you would like to go for something slightly more dynamic and punchy, and cable thickness isnt a concern,  the Eros II+(22awg) would be the one to go for. Otherwise, the Eros II will work well with your setup too. 

Meanwhile, Ares II is a different geometry pure copper cable, that does infact retains and brings out the details in the highs. Being a pure copper cable, the vocal is definitely sweet and warm. It is the closest match after the Eros II / Eros II+ .

Hope this helps. Have a amazing week ahead!

Best Wishes,
Eric

Just got my Ares II+ yesterday (with 2.5mm connector for balanced use). Sounds really good with Earsonics Velvet and my Onkyo DP-X1. And while I don't choose cables on the way they look, I have to report that the Ares II+ is the best looking cable I've ever owned.

I will probably go for an Eros II+ as well, as the current Eros (silver / copper hybrid) has been my favourite cable for quite a while. I have 4-braid and 8-braid balanced versions and I love the sound with my little collection of IEMs, DAP and amp/DAC combinations.

Word to the EA team: I actually just returned the 8-braid Eros to be fixed as the Westone-style connector came off the cable. To be fair, it was getting quite a lot of portable use and 8-braid is obviously not the most flexible thing to be carrying around in a pocket on a daily basis, but I hope the new manufacturing upgrade will help avoid a repeat. As you can tell, it hasn't put me off the brand at all!

Thank you for your kind words and the support of our brand & products! Glad that you love the Ares II+.

I suggest that you demo the Eros II / Eros II+ should the chance arises. The new Eros II / Eros II+ is of a different signature when compared with the Eros. Feel free to chat with us when you come across our booth in coming shows & exhibition  

Psyched to hear that you've using the Eros 8w frequently! Regards to your RMA, i'll notify our lab to take note of it, no worries. Meanwhile, I've yet to receive any RMA Eros 8 braid though, May i know if you've sent it to your local dealer or to our lab directly? 

Best Wishes,
Eric
