The Bespoke Leo-Cleo comfortably remains my favorite EA cable and makes for an amazing pairing with my NoirA new cable made its way into my stable today as I switch a few things over to 2.5mm, and I want to give a huge shout out to MusicTeck here in the states. They are the local distributor of EA cables and they are awesome to deal with each and every time I have the pleasure of purchasing a cable (or anything else). Yes the cable (EA Cleo/Leo) is amazing, but I'm still basking in the fact that yesterday I made the decision to purchase the cable and today it arrived via Express mail. They've been super helpful in answering all of my seemingly-endless questions and they've made the process of going down the rabbit hole with cables that much easier.
Now, without further ado...
Without question one of the most beautiful cables I have had the pleasure of owning. While it's an 8-wire, the comfort is off the charts and the sound with Legend X is exactly what I was hoping for. Preserving that fun and amazing bass slam, details galore, sparkly treble and a massively expansive soundstage. I planned to also try this on the Noble Khan and Dream XLS, but I don't want to remove it now. Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant.

Yep, it is indeed a really good pairing and I used it a lot a couple of months ago. The cable itself is also really comfortable and very pretty. Just try to restrain yourself.
@Deferenz It's okay, you can hide your credit card, but just send me your credit card details....I'll process it for ya!!
"bUt WAs iT PROpErlY CoNDuCteD?"Just ran a blind test with Code 51 vs Horus pigtail adapters. People argue if they can or can't hear the difference between cables, so I wanted to find out if the same goes for adapters. The cable is typically 1.2m, pigtail adapters about 6" with a wire part being only 2.5"-3". Typically, I prefer pigtail adapters since they extend the cable instead of extending the plug, so it looks cleaner. In theory, shouldn't be a big contributing factor since this is a short piece of wire, but in practice turned out to be a different story.
Tested it with LPGT, playing the same track at the same volume, using U18t w/Code 51, and my wife switching between Code 51 and Horus pigtail adapters while I'm not looking. Got it right every single time, with Code 51 adapter giving a touch more body to the mids while Horus making it a touch brighter. Very subtle difference, but with trained ears you can pick it up. Again, all goes along with the conclusion of my Code 51 review, some people go for a perfection at a premium cost, especially when dealing with 4.4mm and 2.5mm flagship DAPs.
The picture below also shows the difference between thinner 26AWG Horus wires (the slightly longer pigtail adapter at the bottom) vs thicker 24AWG Code 51 wires (the one above it). Still, both adapters feel supple. And, Code 51 pigtail adapter also has matching titanium housing plugs.
