That is something I wonder about. I like an intimate sound. For instance, I always prefer the intimacy of IEMs over headphones. I keep looking at headphones and thinking about them and I always return to my IEMs because of coziness. It would be really interesting if I could try the VE5 and Maestro V2 back-to-back while listening to large symphonies. I wonder what stage size I would prefer.I think the only thing going against the VE5 for classical music is its soundstage. Although it has air to spare, its soundstage is definitely not the most expansive. It has a rather intimate-but-focused sound which is why it's so great for vocals. I find something like the Maestro to be the antithesis of the VE5, where its stage is vast and floaty, but it lacks a primary focus. I find my UE Miracle to have this attribute too.

Much appreciate the earlier suggestion on cables for my JH Roxannes - the need for the 8 strand version of the Leonidas makes them seriously pricey but will investigate further

Any word on the prototype budget cable that @Wyville has?
I'm curious about that myself. I really liked it and have only replaced it because Ares II is... awesome... just awesome with my Ei.3.Any word on the prototype budget cable that @Wyville has?

Unfortunately, the "Eline" project is under another project team and not under my care so i dont have the exact details of the progress at this juncture. Still working on it though. Until it passes all our votes of approval, it will not hit the market.

Great to hear and I am looking forward to seeing what the end product will be. I think it is a great cable and will make a nice addition to the line. It is of course not quite Horus , but then again, nothing can come close to Horus.Unfortunately, the "Eline" project is under another project team and not under my care so i dont have the exact details of the progress at this juncture.

thanks, already did Just listening to Lea Michele. Oh God, what a difference, it makes me really emotional. Just sitting here, listening, speechless... So much more body and detail. I will do my best to summarize my impressions. At the moment I need to sit here and listen some more, I can't let go...

Give it time. The cable will open up even more over time. I honestly never think about "burn in", but have noticed it with my Ares II.

I have exchanged a few emails with Sebastian of Vision Ears and those guys are really great! They have no dealer in London, but are still going to look for a solution so I can demo some of their IEMs. How great is that! I can see why Effect Audio like working with them.
Hear what the folks at Vision Ears have to say about the "Horus". Impression Video coming up soon. Stay Tuned!
