I know right? Amin & Marcel are really great fun loving people. Too bad you didnt make CanJam London, i brought their stuffs along to display as they couldn't make the show.

Gosh darn it, missed a great opportunity there. I am looking forward to hearing from them later this week and see if they might be able to get some demo models to London somehow, and otherwise I might need to take the train to Cologne some day.

Another question concerning Horus. Looking at the product page and at the interview, it looks like these so called PSquared connectors should be part of the game. However, they are nowhere to be seen in the available options when trying to configure the cable...? Or are all available options in fact PSquared?

The train trip would be worth it, my man. Just make sure you don't end up spending the money for your return ticket home

The Horus's 3D-render video has the PSquared plug included, so all its available options should be the PSquared plug. However, I don't know if the PSquared plug is limited to 3.5 TRS and 2.5 TRRS only; I'd ask Eric directly.

Hi Eric

Would it be possible for you to provide a comparison chart for 'Eros II' vs 'Ares II' ?

Thanks

Thanks

I just got that one from Eric a few days ago. Probably alright for me to share... I hope...

It's a fantastic cable for the price, one of my current favourites

What are you pairing it with? Curious.

I guess the silver component in Eros II makes it a more balanced cable in terms of sound sig vs Ares II

I have the Ares II and love it - how does the Eros II compare (in your opinion) when A/B testing? I was thinking of getting the Eros cable but not sure if it's worth having both of these if the difference isn't that much?

Ares II is more exciting, it brings the sound more up front and centre with a bit of added sparkle, the Eros II in my opinion is a perfectly well balanced cable, it is refined and smooth keeping organic bass punch and bloom, with an expansive soundstage and excellent detail retrieval.

The Ares II is one to get your foot tapping, and head nodding, the Eros II allows better detail retrieval, separation and control.

After some very enticing news, i have decided that i may want to upgrade my iem first

 

[ranfan]

The soon to be upgraded spartan

Are you upgrading into custom Spartan-ADEL? Or universal, or non-ADEL? Coincidentally, I'm also having my custom Spartan-ADEL reshelled. Estimatedly one month before it'll be finished. Will probably receive the Ares 2+ cable next week, which I plan on pairing with it (or Prelude). Ares 2+ I think is a good complement for the IEM's low frequency. Useful when the IEM's note thickness, or definition is reduced using ADEL IEMs. Looking forward to hear your impression on Spartan + Eros 2 pairing in the future (if you're going to get one). Good decision there IMO. Both Spartan and Eros 2 seems like a good all-rounder. Curious how they'll sound.
