Very nice review. Certainly, Eric produces cable with a maniacal attention to detail. Even the "low end" Fortitude I have shows lots of class. And the case the Illiad comes with has a lot of us asking Eric if he will sell it separately. Hint hint, Eric.

As to what it does to/with an IEM, I am a Jonny one-note at this point, having settled firmly in love with my Zeus. And it sounds from the review as if the Illiad would not be a good pairing with the Zeus, which has less bass and more treble than do a lot of the current group of TOTL IEMs. Thanks much for the comparison with the 1960, which really helped me determine what the Illiad does. I totally agree with how you describe the 1960. Fantastic cable for an IEM that needs really good copper. Where the Illiad sounds as if it would be good with more full-bodied IEMs that need a slight injection of space, sparkle and detail. I bet it would make a Phantom sing.

Iliad review is finally up!

Eletech Iliad: Treats of Troy

​

Another great review. I listened to the Iliad at CanJam NYC and loved it. I thought it gave my Phantoms just a little extra in the trebles and better defined mids. BTW, I use a EA Leo II as my daily cable with my Phantoms.

Thanks so much, guys! I've currently most enjoyed it with 64 Audio's A18s and Stealth Sonics' C9 Pro. But, just the general, musical character of the cable does make it pretty versatile anyway.

That doesn't looks right at all. We were notified of this case earlier this morning and will be on it as soon as we received it. We'll get to the bottom of the matter for sure.

Popped into the thread to see the anwser to my question already exists.

Not looking for any cables currently (But those reviews have been tempting me), but that case would be great.

Indeed! We've been hearing all the requests for the Companion Case that comes with Eletech higher range of cables. Please keep posted, we've gotten our hands on a piece of amazing leather and will be releasing a limited run of it in August ; amongst others

What a perfect match of Prudence with Dita Dream XLS, both the look and sound!

They do look great together! How's the sound synergy like? I haven't had gotten my hands on a XLS ; Been meaning to get one!

I think XLS only works well with copper wire. I used 1960s two wires previously and it worked great, but with Prudence it is even better with extended but yet smooth treble. Bass of XLS is not deep but quality is good, and Prudence tightens the bass without affecting it's signature mid, that's why I said they are perfect match in look and sound.

Has anyone paired the Iliad with the LX? I’d be interested to know if they go well together.

Interested too. I am also curious to see how the lliad compares with the leonidas ii 8 wire.
