So darn sad that I didn't manage to hope onto the BF deals for eletech. Was re-exploring the audio world after a long break, was revolving around DAPs and IEMs mainly. And poisoned myself with cable upgrades only recently.



Currrently, I'm pairing my UM MEST II with DX300. Anyone here with this pairing? I've read this thread a bit and understands that socrates are highly regarded. Would Iliad be a better choice?



I'm looking to tighten the bass. Reducing the bass quantity by a tiny amount is acceptable if the increase in quality outweighs quantity. Am also seeking for depth and separation. Lastly, it's a bonus if it pushes the highs to be crisper, if not it's totally ok if highs are not altered.

For tighter bass I'd personally recommend the Plato time and time again - single best neutral/reference cable I've used. The Iliad Imo has the opposite effect, boosting the decay and giving you a slower, more textured sound all around

Heheh time to clear the AKs and jump on LP?

Unless I can find a quick sugar daddy then perhaps?

The Iliad would likely not be of a good synergy with the Mest II if the descript is what you're looking for. Iliad being more dynamic and musical, adds on to the lows. What you have described does sound like a "Plato" to me.

That would be a good choice hehehh

Hi Eric!

Appreciate the response. Will look into Plato then. It's on my shopping list now. Also, will there be any upcoming project like the one Eletech had recently? Those cables u guys produce are really eye candies with superb performance too! Awesome job~

 

[justsomesonyfan]

as much as i'm satisfied with my current liquid links venom cable.. i just keep coming back again and again to look in awe on the gorgeous plato x socrates.

if anyone has any interesting eletech offerings, i might be willing to trade i think my exploring of eletech was cut short by the gorgeous design of the venom. mmcx 4.4 btw

any upcoming project

Do you mean the Project 8? We'll try to hold a Project 8 program yearly.

The Project 8 program stresses our production team too much, we are unfortunately unable to have it as a constant offering

Not specifically Project 8, any upcoming ideas/projects/plans will be interesting to know.

Of cos I fully understand that it stresses the production team, maybe I should drop by with a few packets of Kopi/Teh and packets of mouth-watering carrot cakes to pamper you guys.

Ahh, 2022 will be a busy year with many new projects indeed. Most of them are what the community have been asking for - DAP Cases , TOTL Copper amongst others

Indeed, my team hates it when i announce "Guys, we're gonna start Project 8 soon" lol. Oof! I didnt know you were local, should definitely all hang out at next SG Canjam

I’ve bought tickets and am excited to go for my first Canjam. Looking forward to look for you and your team but I must think of a way to ask my hubby to not look at the prices rofl! He thinks I’m nuts!
