Maybe you would wanna go Horus+Leonidas

But to my ears, Horus performs better than Mars+Leonidas.

I only heard Horus briefly and never heard Mars+Leonidas, but Horus was certainly something special. Both @Oscar-HiFi and I had this feeling that the combination of the dynamics and clarity, the richness and naturalness, shouldn't be possible. The bass of the U6 we used for the demo was just so alive and rich, yet the rest of the signature remained perfectly clear and natural. Very impressive to my ears!

That reminds me, I forgot to hook Horus up to my Ei.3...

Now... my little side project.
Gonna steal my wife's Lionheart for impression!
Please forgive me for the pictures I took from my toaster.

Oh noooo when was this? Right under my nose LOL

It's ongoing throughout the week!

Does anyone has a picture of EA 2.5 BAL -> 3.5 SE $50 adapter being attached? Also from experience, does the sound improved from using just a common/typical $5 - 10 adapter? Thanks!

Your wife's Lionheart? You managed to convert your wife? I have been trying that for months, giving her my Sony A15 and Trinity Vyrus, but she remains unimpressed.

Or she is a masterful strategist and is simply biding her time until I offer her Horus with the VE8!

I use it when my source is smartphone/ipad.

I would say this is the best quality of short adapter I have ever used. Its signature is "clear and transparent" compared to my diy viablue adapter (which sound becomes so muddy comparatively)

Thanks! Looks really nice. But it seems that one is slightly different from the current one on the EA site. The current one is gold-L-shaped which looks like Oyaide plug.

you can buy via e-earphone: http://www.e-earphone.jp/shop/shopd...0&search=effect+audio+adapter&sort=price_desc

EDIT: Just saw it is sold out
I am not sure then if it is discontinued or not

Or maybe contact via Effect's email to order.

That's the one I got with my Horus directly from EA, thus it doesn't look like it's discontinued. The one on the EA website is L shaped, but I got this very same straight one although I didn't specifically ask for that (but it was in fact the one I wanted).
Can't comment on sound, I got it just in case but I have no plans to use it currently.

My girlfriend has an Opus #3 with RHA MA750 and Brainwavz B200 and is also unimpressed wonder if she would like the Noble Sage, the green colouring would go well with her red hair

Ooh, there's a dangerous thought... What if they caught on that you can have CIEMs made in any colour and they're just planning out a whole selection so they can colour code with their favourite outfits?

 

[ironpeg]

You can get the 2.5mm to 3.5mm in any shape. You just need to ask them nicely

I really like the adapters with cables, like they did with Pharaoh. That way the end of the cable is a normal plug and not a stack of plugs. The downside is of course that the wires of the adapter need to be the same as those of the cable.
