Can someone recommend an IEM that pairs especially well with the Iliad? Mine is currently sitting lonely in its case, the Thummim is getting the PW Metropolis, and I need just one more pair to match the cable collection to the IEM collection

Any suggestions are appreciated!

OG MEST was the standout pairing from my collection; having said that, I never tried it with the Mk II. But it may still be more suited to the OG anyway I suspect
Possibly a bit below your budget though

Dropping in to mention that the Aeneid has landed and it’s found its home on the Mason FS. I absolutely love the sound of the Mason FS and while the stock cable sounds great, the ergonomics leave a lot to be desired for me. Enter the Aeneid which actually manages to improve upon the sound and offer significantly better comfort. Seriously, could not be more thrilled. As for sound changes, while subtle, I definitely hear a more open and extended treble sparkle and overall more air in the signature. The cable increases the clarity and while the Attila is a dense, dark sound, the Aeneid is smooth, natural and very befitting of what the Mason FS achieves. It’s a win-win for me in every respect.

Also, I have to mention the unboxing experience and details that Eletech bestowed upon this cable. I’m probably biased because my wife and I trudged around Rome for our honeymoon, but damn this splitter is so freakin’ cool as is the packaging with more Roman artifacts. I love it, and it was just a damn cool thing to be able to experience this on an IEM cable. Well-done.

As i mentioned ; Word of caution : When unboxing the Aeneid, make sure wives are nowhere in the vicinity

My Iliad is back! With a spanking new 4.4mm plug. Thing of beauty as always! My FitEar DC will be happy indeed! Thanks to @Eric Chong and team for the quick turnaround!

And see what else came in? The gorgeous gorgeous Fortitude 8! Such a work of art! Great stuff @Eric Chong ! Fantastic sounding with the FitEar MH334SR and the Luxury & Precision P6 Pro.

I've noticed new FitEar connectors which now have colour codes and the dots guide where the thicker pin goes in. Very thoughtful touch for old folks like me.

Eletech newest 2 DAP additions for R&D and testing! Thanks so much @Kiats for sending them over. The boys are happily going gaga over them

You are most welcome @Eric Chong. Always happy to contribute to the cause. The M15 will be great for testing headphone cables in due course.

True, it’s already a great boon to our IEM realm of testing!

m15 is good for testing cables?

Listening some more this morning. But with the M11Plus LTD. Lovely sonics. Love how it fills out the sound as well as imparts an analogue feel even on the FiiO. While not being afflicted by the excessive warmth or fuzziness of a lot of copper cables. Good job on this one @Eric Chong . Can understand why there is such excitement at the Project 8 work. Now I am tempted to try out the Prudence 8. Heheh!

Eletech's project 8 are truly some special mojo. Sounds rather significantly different from the 4w regular offerings. Never regretted my Prudence 8 purchase and still putting on good use with the MEST right now. It also came less bulky than i initially thought, hopefully Eletech does more of the 8s

ET TOTLs day paired with the N6II Ti and RS10/FuSang

What Eletech cable are you using on your VE V8?

 

[KuroKitsu]

Moving up in the Eletech lineup to the next tier: Socrates.

Finally getting my hands on that case!

 

[KuroKitsu]

I am using Socrates on Odin, its a very underrated combo I should say and not many people like that combo but to my ears its sounds fabulous

To my ears too…

This was a combo that I loved, but never had a chance to write on the forums about. I personally feel it helped give the ODIN's bass a bit more oomph, which better balanced it against its brighter midrange. It also brought lower-pitched instruments a bit further forward - not as freely open as the Stormbreaker - which also made it more evenly engaging. If you don't mind a presentation that's more involving and less laidback or spacious, it's one of the best cables to pair the ODIN with.

Stahp guys, Canada Post is saying by next Friday latest. I don't need impatience in the mix.

Daniel, anymore tantalizing details? We need a full write up on this stat!
