Hello All, and especially Eric and the team of Effect Audio,
I am the lucky owner of 3 Thor Silver II+ cables by Effect Audio:
1) replacement cable for my Shure 846's
2) replacement cable for my Audeze LCD-XC's to Woo Audio W22 with balanced XLR terminals
3) interconnect balanced 2,5mm to balanced 2,5mm to connect my Onkyo DP-X1A to my ALO CDM
The first cable was advised to me as I found the bass representation a bit heavy on the Shure's, the overall soundstage and dynamics improved to my liking and I got hooked to the cables. Strange, as an engineer I do not fully understand the science behind this, but my ears were convinced.
The other 2 cables I ordered directly from Effect Audio and the service was excellent and quick.
I was even able to change the cable after I ordered it, great service.
I decided to pick up the cables myself as I wanted to change the 3,5mm jack to a balanced one for the Shure cable, Effect Audio was kind enough to do this for me while I waited.
While listening to the W22 and Audeze's I found the sound signature a bit on the bright side and lacking the bass punch, after connecting the Effect Audio Thor Silver II+ cable this improved greatly, bass response was very impressive and oh my, guitars came to life and Diana Krall's vocals became so natural and up close and personal.
Good times for us audio lovers as in the current market we have a huge selection of equipment available and I must say that Effect Audio is up there with the best of them.
It was a pleasure to visit the new office and meet with Eric Chong and thank you for taking the time to talk with me.
Now I am faced with a whole new dilemma: how will another cable make my system sound....
That Horus is looking like one nice cable, got to give that a try and listen how it suites my tastes.
If any of you are wondering, give these cables a try and enjoy a whole new musical experience with your existing setup.
Musical regards, Lambert
