So it’s a limited edition?

Only 1 original (I guess)... and 19 clones

Hi yeah this was a bit confusing, but no it's not. The first batch is limited to 20 pieces, similar to how Centurion was sold in batches. It's because each cable requires such significant time to make it right, so the production capacity is a lot lower.

What's with the watch

It was there...

A) because it was partly black and fitted (imo) nicely in the picture
B) so I could easily check when it was time for my cup of coffee
C) and I still have no idea why
D) all of the above

Cheers!

Our Chiron review is now online.

A very interesting addition to the lineup and at times a better match than the Centurion for some IEMs. Depends on your preferences I guess but overall a fairly smooth and spacious sounding crossover between the Horus X and the Centurion for me.

Received my Eros 2 back reterminated with TermX, very neat and will likely see a lot more use out of this cable now.

Thanks again to Nic for allowing me to take part in the promotion from January.

It's a cloudy day so no pics but they sent back the old stock barrel as well that I'll end up using as a dust plug or something

Our pleasure! Nice to hear you're happy with TermX. So if I understand correctly we might see a pic once the sun starts to shine again?

It's bright and sunny here in the UK (or at least my part of it anyway, haha).
God bless climate change (just joking, obviously)

Introducing the Copper Cable Carnival!

In the upcoming weeks we're going to commemorate and celebrate how EA started through copper cables. Copper is an amazing entry point in the world of cables. It has a distinct sound with its own advantages, and can be blended with other materials to create unique signatures. And of course it isn’t too costly, making it the perfect cable to start off with.

We'll have a little something something coming up, but will also just put some of our cables in the spotlight - starting off with the ultimate classics: Ares II and Ares II+.

Ares II distinguishes itself with a high quality sound for an affordable price, resulting from EA’s proprietary multi-size stranded design and UltraFlexi Insulation. Stemming from a time when copper cables were predominantly known for their warm sound, Ares II provides a unique balance between a warm bass and shimmering treble. The result is a beautiful tone with sufficient detail, resulting in a highly engaging sound.

Adding a bit of size to the wires adds weight to the sound. Ares II+ is built on the same foundation, but going from 26 to 22 AWG results in a noticeably warmer and fuller sound. The key ingredient here is the upper bass: Ares II+ has a warm layer covering its sound, which adds body to its instruments and gives it a more emotional touch.

I personally enjoy it when paired with the VE8, which I typically use for rock music. Male vocals sound full and raging guitars impressive. But with Samba for instance I’m going for precision, where Ares II has the upper hand. Both provide their own flavour, making them interesting starting points to upgrade from a stock cable.
