This is a very nice combination of Cadmus Founder’s Edition with Hercules Audio Mega CM.

got the chance to try out Fusion 1 the other day. a nice looking cable I quite enjoy it especially the mid-bass I like the warmth it gives

A Question to all you EA afficionados as the happy owner of the eros S 8w AE and the Cadmus S 8W I've been looking at the Ares S 8W and the hifi go and the
EA Griffin both of which are c£200—£230 on Hifi go as is the Cadmus S 8w at the moment due to SALE which would match my Acoustune HS1655CU best?

Its always amazing to me that a change of cable and source can reawaken my enjoyment for an iem the IMR acoustics EDP Ace just sings with this combination the bass drops just a bit lower the mids open up with just an incredible sense of staging and space between the instruments. I tried a few cable combinations and the Cadmus 8W was the only one to manage this. The Shanling H5 playing from onboard micro sd and the Effect Audio Cadmus 8w. Ignoring the absurdity that the cable cost more than the iem. My enjoyment of the combination is worth it to me.

Hi everyone,

I've listed my Effect Audio Code 23 cable:

https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/effect-audio-code-23.55694/

I believe the price is very competitive. It comes terminated in a 4.4mm balanced Pentaconn OFC plug.

Did you succumb to the Cadmus 8W too?

Slightly off topic, but regarding to the recent heated topic about Editions with black sleves. I would like to share a picture of the Leonidas II. This cable also released a black sleves edition. Those who have a chance to listen and compare must be lucky.

Is the black one supposed to sound different?

They should sound the same

Untill you have a chance to compare them side by side in person.

It is definitely a rabbit hole with cables. I’ll await to hear when you’ve purchased the Centurion!

After that you just need the Orpheus and your search will be complete

I blame you as you were, my gateway dealer

I blame you as you were, my gateway dealer

I guess I cannot deny that charge.

…and I still have the Cadmus Founders Edition that I will need to move on at some point!

Just to add my two cents to the CODE23 talks on the last few pages, it is indeed a chunkier cable. I personally think, for most people it is too thick to use with IEMs, but it is perfect on full sized headphones. Still not the lightest and the most comfortable, but absolutely fine and more than liveable. And the sound will compensate for any inconvenience: it is clean, clear, detailed, punchy with excellent sub-bass, great separation, superb overall clarity improvement. Much better than any other cable I tried at or below its price range. I agree, it is a cable to show your non-believer audio friend.

I use Code 23 with my Xe6 and agree completely. I have more ergonomic, more expensive, pure copper cables, but none bring the Xe6 out of its shells like C23.
