Can someone recommend me which cable can tighten Erlkonig's bass while maintaining the thickness of vocals?

You could try the new Ares S. I have the Phonix, said by VE to be the next evolution of Erlkonig, and that cable did what you are asking.

PW1950’s will provide that for you. A less expensive solution would be the cable that comes with the LE version which is also excellent. It is all silver and sounds great. You might want to ask VE who made that cable for them.

I forgot this was the Effect Audio Thread. Leo II should also provide what you are looking for, but not sure it will sound better than the cable that came with the LE version of the Erlk. I have never used it on my Erlk.

Give a try of Cleo II and Cleo II octa at our Booth in HK AV show, if you happen to pop by. The pairing is great with both EK and Phonix to have a sonic improvement base on its original sound signature.

Just got my Eros S and realised there's no strain relief out of the plug.. thought was just mine but yeah I see your pics to not have them either. All my other cables have it, which is strange and worrisome cos there is some sharp edges to the plug and I have to see how this affects durability in the long run.

Might just unscrew it and slap on my own heat shrink, but a surprising omission (is that a norm for EA? or I'm just weird to have it on all my other cheap and relatively expensive cables?)

Excited to hear my bespoke cable will ship out by the end of the week. A little disappointed as I thought I’d be more involved or least be updated more along the way.
Have had no input in the design or any idea how it’ll look.
Hopefully it turns out amazing, just wish there was more communication along the way

If you're worried about it being ugly, I think it's worth remembering that we're talking about Effect Audio here.

Oh no, not concerned with that at all. Just want to see how it turned out since the Code51 is more silver and the Chiron is a darker sleeve.

The website just describes the bespoke process as more involved. I never heard anything once I decided on the Chiron and paid the invoice.
Never contacted with any consultant. There was no planing or sharing of the design. No discussion on anything. No input on finding the best combo.
The website describes a whole different experience then I got.

Just expected more.

Ah, okay I gotcha.

I had tried Ares II before, and find the bass is too much for me! Haven't tried Ares S though!

How about Code 51?

I have planned to go there on the first day of the show this coming Friday! Thanks for your suggestion, I'll give it a try!

Some time ago I referred to the (Joni Mitchell) song lyrics: ''Don't it always seem to go. That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone''

Well, today is a happy day and I totally remember now, what I've missed since then...

Seriously, I'm just completely blown away (again) by the quality of these wonderful new Signature cables

Unboxing experience, design, craftmanship & (most important) sound quality are simply top-notch!!!

 

[Shawnb]

Ah, okay I gotcha.

I think it's mostly just nerves on how it'll turn out. Specially in how it'll look, as I'm sure it'll sound good. Just very curious how the sleeving of two will match
Burn in will be interesting as the Code 51 has 100+ hours on it.
