Subscribed and would like a suggestion on 2.5 balanced, mmcx, for my Radius twf31.

Thanks,

4.4mm female to 3.5mm male SE? Want to be able to use my 4.4 balanced cables on the plethora of 3.5mm gadgets I have.

I've got this one, but tbh have never actually used it because i find it bulky:

It's much easier to get cables terminated in 2.5mm balanced then use adapters for 4.4mm bal or 3.5mm SE connectivity. Plenty of those kids of adapters around and most don't feature additional cable lengths which end up altering the sound signature of the cable you attach it to...

Good idea. Wish I had thought about/known more before I invested in 4.4mm terminated cables!

You can order one from Music Sanctuary. This is what mine looks like:

What kind of sound changes are you looking for?

I'm a tone, patch, ”forgotten adverb” fan, plus expanding the soundstage.

Happy day today because... I also received my Horus 8!!
As @zgundam said, it came in a very interesting package. I love the leather pouch. But for portable use, I still prefer the original Horus case that I'm gonna keep using.
I will keep the new fancy pouch somewhere safe.

With my brief listening session with WM1Z and Tia Fourte, I agree with @zgundam impression:
Clean but warm and smooth with HUGE dynamics and micro details.
I'm delighted to find deeper potential of Tia Fourte uncovered by Horus 8.
It also sounds a bit airy in a very nice way.

This is just an initial impression, so please take this as a grain of salt.
I plan to report a comparison to Janus D later.

Congratulations Giraku! I can't imagine there'd be many people who browse Head-Fi's portable audio section who aren't jealous of you right now. :)

Really love bespoke cables from Effect Audio. Picture of the M4L4, MarsLeonidas 8wire. A great pairing with the Zeus-XR. Very lightweight considering it is an 8 wire braid. Extremely flexible. And most importantly, it sounded amazing.

Please, write your impressions about sound, details, texture. I have very interesting this cable, and how are better than Eros II.

Amazing pieces of art. I'm glad I found this thread.
Your location says 'Singapore', so you can see (and hear!) them in real-life life and you can also swing by Euphoria Audio. I would love to visit there, Singapore is a real audiophile equivalent of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. :D

Almost forgot the obligatory: Sorry about your wallet. :D
