Hello effect. I bought an horus cable 3 months ago. I see you have an upgrade service that current users can use to change it to more wires. Will I also get the horus case that is same to the one in this picture?
Happy day today because... I also received my Horus 8!!
As @zgundam

But before I make upgrade, I am concern from something i saw on DITA website. DITA is also a brand that I like, because my wife use the dita truth earphone daily. I see that the VANNUY case made with DITA look the exactly the same to the pouch. Same design same leather, but colour is different.

I am concern that I am buying a item that is copied because I do not want to be involved in the trouble of any return process. I would like to know if this is copied or partner together with DITA or VANNUYS to make a partner product.

I wouldn't worry about it, if that is the sole concern you have. Very doubtful they have any sort of patent on the design. And even if there was an issue, I've not seen a situation where a consumer ever had to return an item they purchased that was the subject of said dispute. Cases are like backpacks, many companies make them and they all look very much the same with minor modifications that make them minutely unique. IMO.

So I have had the Lionheart for close to a month now, and I really like the synergy with my A18T the more I listen the more I enjoy their sound signature. What it does best, is it provides some really nice texture to the lower end especially with drums. Lionheart is super at smoothing through the mid range as well and still manages to retain air between the instruments and provides the treble sparkle through the music.

I also picked up the Ares II I was very curios what a pure Cooper cable from EA would sound like. I have not spent as much time with the Ares. But in the short period I've used Ares, I think the biggest surprise for me has been how bright this cable is, for a straight pure Cooper cable.
Its quit the contrary from what I expected from a traditional Cooper cable. the other thing I want to add is how beautiful these cables are my wife said they look like a piece a jewelry, the images from the websites just do not do them justice. so I added photos I took while I switched cables, click the images to see their real beauty.

Love lionheart with k10s as well.. does magical things to vocals..PC
Always wanted to hear the k10. I’ve heard the Encore and Katana, but understand the k10 are a bit special.

They are indeed. There are small imperfections but that is what imo makes them unique sounding and they are one of the best sounding CIEM I own.. a masterful creation by John. but with lionheart it has made it so organic that it has the best synergy between Sony wm1z k10 and lionheart.. and god that bass punches so deep you can’t believe it is BA..

Taking all this under consideration, the difference between Ares II 4 wire and 8 wire is actually quite noticeable where I hear a wider soundstage, more forward mids, and improved resolution and transparency of mids when going to 8 wire version. In comparison, 4 wire sounds a little warmer with mids being less resolving. Basically, 4 wire has a more typical “copper” coloring of the sound, while doubling of these wires has an effect of a leaner sound with a noticeable improvement in mids.

Does this mean more forward upper mids (female vocals) and less lower mids (male vocals)?

Great review though!

I'm hearing more forward upper mids.

EA really kills it with their Bespoke 8s. Such mighty cables, in sound and beauty.

Haha.. Yea! There are lotsa amazing shops in Singapore to try out different products. Plus. Shiping to here is relatively cheap as well.

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

Thor II+ 8w and Ares II 4w. The larger 22AWG 8wire cable makes me feels extra safe : ) while maintaining an excellent weight and flexibility for portable usage. The new 2.5mm connector from Effect Audio is very good looking.

8x 22awg wires is a weapon, you should be feeling safe ;) Assuming you are using it for full size cans, not iems?

That's pretty cool man! I have the Thor II + 4-wire coming in for review this week. Can't wait to see how it compares to the others.
