Let me speak with the Dita boys on Monday when they're back in office and i'll send you a pm

Meanwhile, the Phantasm is using the same XLS driver but retuned. It also features Eletech specially crafted internal wires as well as a Phantasm project's IEM cable. The Phantasm goes for a warmer presentation compared to the OG.

Thanks @Eric Chong , looking forward to it!

I haven't heard a thing of this company unfortunately despite being a bit on a cable hunt for my IEM.

Simply looking for something that's very balanced and not too warm sounding.

I don't mind V shape as long as it's tastefully done without one side being too much (bass bleed or sibilance)

Any recommendations?

It's depends on alot of factors actually. If you could advise on us the following, i'm sure many of us would be able to point you towards a feasible direction, Eletech or not

1) What's your sound signature preference ?
2) Which IEM / Setup are you using the cable with ?
3) What would you like to hear improved off the current setup ?

Thank you for reaching out to me.

My sound signature preference in general is this --

Balanced, wide and tall soundstage with relaxed presentation that also has some 3D spatial holographic element.

I'm using Empire Ears Supra custom, an old entry CIEM thats long discontinued but it's a competent dual driver.

My setup is sometimes either directly from my phone or with a Fiio Q1 DAC amp.

I would like to have more soundstage and lush vocals / midrange, tighter bass and maybe more treble but won't be sibilant to the ears (I'm fairly sensitive to sibilance)

Edit: I understand that I do not have multi thousand dollars worth of hardware for my setup but I do believe that there are always something for all range so do forgive if some of my sources appear rather...unimpressive.

Rin! I haven't seen you in years, my friend! How've you been? Still on the hunt for the illustrious EE Arthur? It's got successors upon successors at this point.

Come on, buddy. You know I'm never gonna be able to afford what's equivalent to a Bugatti in IEM world.

Though being away for a few years I do kinda miss the fun on this hobby.

But yeah, I'm curious to say the least, to hear what is new for Empire Ears.

Now that you've mentioned it, i do remember chatting with Rin on multiple occasions back in the day. No wonder i find him familiar-ish!

I certainly remember the Supra fondly. EE has revamped quite a little these days...but i digress.

I would likely recommend the Prudence in this case, what it will do though is adds in a hint of dynamism into your setup while extending extensions on both sides. Mid range are slightly more forward sounding and bolstered, albeit not as weighty as some of our other offerings. What it will not do though is offer a all round 3D holographic soundstaging. Prudence adds more on the height and depth of presentation more so than the width.

Ah, do forgive me for not remembering our old conversation. It's been years after all.

I do fine the name ring a bell but can't quite place it

And I see.

I do wish there's a way to audition the cable since blind purchase is slightly risky but I am interested nonetheless.

Still, if there's no way to send a review unit or something that's fine too. I'll just have to save up a bit and pull the trigger when the time is right.

I do find the lack of 3D spatial a bit unfortunate but I guess there's only so much a cable can do.

To be fair, Massdrop managed to get the Zeus down to 600 USD, so getting there isn't as impossible as you might think, especially on the used market. But, regardless, it's cool to see you around these parts again, man. 'Hope you get to find what you're looking for.

600 bucks for a Zeus? Damn.

I guess I missed out a bunch....

Honestly though, I doubt I can find such a good deal a second time.

I'll have to really wait, it seems.

Heheh i suggest you check out the slew of IEM successors and new updates in the market right now. I believe upgrade cable would be the last thing you need right now

True, I always thought the best upgrade is the IEM first, then source, and finally the cable.

The only reason to why I upgrade my Supra's cable is because it tangles too easily and the sound is just not quite there.

 

[Eric Chong]

IEM first, then source, and finally the cable

Absolutely agreed

UPDATE ~

So sorry guys~!! We have to close the orders for Plato for a little while. We went completely out of materials. Will update again in 2 weeks.

Meanwhile part of the Project 8s were shipped out this week. We'll resume shipping for the rest of the orders next week!

Thank you guys for the kind patience
