how about Code 51 or Chiron?
Hey mate,

I haven't heard Code 51, but if you would like to go the level of Chiron price, looks like the new Chiron: Nova will meet your expectations, it has the clarity/details/extension up top of the Chiron with the Aura special blend that, by the blended materials, sounds like an smooth tonal sound.

I'm still to hear it, but looks like a well balanced cable.

You can be one of the first to have it and share your impressions here for us. :)

I know it’s not yet official but could you let me know if the price will be more or less than the Cleopatra II 4w? Thank you!
@pokkalat It will be less than Cleopatra II (4W option). Keep a lookout on our socials this month! ✌️ It will be an exciting one, I promise!

As I rounded out my cable rolling with Fibae5, I finally settled on the EA Cadmus 8w with silver plated copper. The synergy is just terrific showing F5 to be the TOTL iem that it is. Separation, resolution, deep low end bass, air and soundstage all shine brightly with this admittedly heavy cable. It's ergonomic enough (better than the Ares 8w!) and gives the F5 everything it wants from a cable. Highly recommended and also versatile to many other iems in my collection.

Today I received the Ares S 8W... but I have a doubt...
I had ordered the 4.4mm terminated cable and then later I added the 80 dollar TermX package to the order, the problem is that the cable arrived not terminated in 4.4mm but accompanied by the box with the three TermX . Has this happened to you too? Thank you.

Hi Polky,
If I understand correctly and without knowing exactly what you ordered, it seems that you ordered a TermX plug option with your Ares S 8W and you are wondering why there are only 3 plugs. In the TermX package, you should have 2.5mm, 3.5mm and 4.4mm plug options. You then need to screw one of those plugs in the TermX package onto the cable and you won't get another 4.4mm or 4th plug. This happened to me for another EA Code 23 cable I own. I hope that helps.

I thought I was getting two 4.4mm plugs, one already attached to the cable and one in the TermX box, but the cable didn't end with any plug. So for 80 dollars you don't buy 3 plugs (4.4-3.5-2.5) but only the two you are missing right?

However removing the plastic from the socket that goes into the iems is a nightmare (it comes very close to destroying everything)... lol
But what are you going to do with that plastic... it can still be understood on the splitter but on those tiny connectors there's really no need...

Now I understand, it was explained to me by Effect Audio... if you choose the cable without TermX the plug is fixed so even if you have a box of TermX you can't use them with that cable.

Hey there, I just received these badges a few minutes ago that I didn't know about :wink: and I always like surprises:
