Due to the constant rising costs of Gold and Materials Procurement due to the changing socio-economic landscape, Eletech has regretfully decided to temporarily halt the production of "Aeneid" after we exhaust our current materials on hand.
Eletech's "Aeneid" has been designed to offer unparalleled value at it's MSRP and whilst a pricing adjustment/hike would still retain it's competitiveness, we are hesitant to do so as it would impact on the Product's actual perceived value, and not create value for our customers.
It's our duty as a brand to preserve the brand & products equity thus we have been reluctant to raise costs for our Eletech #Fam and we'll be temporarily discontinuing "Aeneid" till the procurement market pricing stabilises.
Nonetheless, subsequent RMA policies and warranty servicing of "Aeneid" will stay intact! Thank you for supporting Eletech all through these years.
We hope to be able to bring you more innovative products this year!
Stay Tuned
Kudos Eric! I appreciate how you thought of us customers before deciding the companies' policy. Most would definitely consider a raised pricing without considerations for us.

That aside, does that mean that my Aeneid is semi-limited edition now?

Thanks @Eric Chong! Very considerate. But it does leave the door for the Aeneid to rise again.

That's too bad to hear but very respectable decision.

I think a lot of us were surprised by the Illiad's price tag when it came out, while some of us where expecting something to come along at a higher price bracket. Even though the MRSP of everything past Socrates might be out of my zone for cables, this decision will be what sets Eletech apart from the rest of the field.
Bravo Eric, you could probably have not needed to do this at all and most of us would still have given you business based on the quality alone (I'm only being stopped due to financial constraints myself).

@Eric Chong Thank you for communicating out to the Head-Fi community and Eletech owners/brand loyalists on how Eletech is tackling supply constraints, support and servicing for Aeneid owners. Personally, what I appreciate the most is your genuine honesty regarding pricing and reluctance to raise costs for #EletechFam and future owners. It's truly commendable especially during this time with increased inflation and socio-economic challenges worldwide. It's your personal connections, innovative products and brand equity that makes the #EletechFam, Head-Fi community and myself excited for more.
TGIF! Eric and his team’s service is fantastic, going out of their way to show dedication to the Eletech family (as Eric would say

On a brighter note, Can Jam SG edition looms large. Look forward to catching up with you and the team @Eric Chong. It just occurred to me that I have yet to meet the team in person because of the on-off Covid restrictions in Singapore.
And of course we all look forward to trying out the Project “I”. As well as the new TOTL copper cable, the prototype for which we hope will be ready to be demoed by then as well!

Is that the Project 8 - Plato X Socrates cable?

Oddly, I have yet to try this combo as I can’t bear to un-pair the P8 cable from my LxJa.
Thank guys for your kind understanding~!!
I would've expected to receive more shade given that our flagship product is being discontinued with a short notice. As i've always said, the Eletech #Fam lurking in the thread's the best!
The Aeneid will make a return. Fingers crossed. The question is "When". While there's also the consideration that if too much time has passed, should we have updated the SKU if we have better ideas by then? Something for us to ponder over. In the meantime, enjoy your Aeneids
Thank you for your kind words buddy. Really appreciate that! Well, you don't need to own an Eletech to be a #Fam. Besides we've had dealings for so many years now, it already way past the "pure business" point
No problems, and thank you for your support and understanding. I felt compelled to explain our sudden decision to temporary halt the production and to affirm our stance towards the brand, our products and our customers. No doubt, a price increase would certainly solve "Our" problem, but it creates more issues for both the customers and the market. Customers who would have gotten it at an inflated rate would have to deal with it's subsequent almost certain depreciating value and that's not a problem we would like our customers to have.
Besides, Aeneid was designed to be offered at US$2399. When hit with an price adjustment, say US$2799 ; begets the question : What exactly the customer paying the additional $300-400 bucks for? And does that really reflect the product's true value?
Heheh Project "I" will be properly launched later this month while we will have 3 Prototypes "Alpha" "Beta" "Gamma" which are different variants of the same project by Canjam SG. Would love to hear the feedbacks on those!
