I just got a Thummim and planning on getting a R8, my wallet isn’t ready

Haha, don't worry about it. I'm sure it'll do the Thummim just fine.

I would really appreciate some impressions regarding Solaris pair up!

This sounds like it might be great with the VE8.

I can confirm that. Socrates sounds simply spellbinding with VE8 in the vocal front. I've been listening to this combo for the last few days. Smooth, silky, seductive, upfront vocals male and female, with no grain at all. Take a listen to Bruce Springsteen's "Paradise", Johnny Cash's "Hurt", and the new one "Exile" by Taylor Swift and Bon Iver and feel them tapping into your emotional core. Sent chills down my spine.

Does great with the other parts of the spectrum as well but the vocals are the highlight. I've been pairing VE8 with Leonidas II but this is turning out to be a new favorite.

Hahah! Glad to hear that.

As I always say, the artistry of a cable maker goes beyond the base material of the cable: true talent and dedication is taking a material and bringing out the best in it.

I look forward to it!

That is my endgame pairing, and what I am currently saving up for. Thanks for confirming the synergy.

You have a great endgame IEM there, the VE8 has been one of my favourites and comfortably sits at top of my list of gears even in current industry standards.

The Plato paired with Final A8000 and playing off Sony ZX507. Streaming lossless music off QQMusic. Awesome combo.

Just received the new limited "Stratus Grey" leather case from Eletech. Everyone wanted to grab their cases when they first launched Iliad and Plato, include me. Kudos to you guys for hearing us out and made our requests come true.

It comes with a nice box, serves as a good protection and definitely contributes to the scratch-free surface. Same design as the case comes with Iliad. One of the best case for iem! I love the YKK zipper and the leather texture. You could immediately tell that the cowhide is top-notch!

It is grey, but presents a slight bluish color under different lighting conditions. Most importantly, it Is rather low-profile, which is great.

Heheh I can imagine the detail level and resolution to be at insane levels there.

PS : Nice Sony DAP!

Heyy Jerry! Thanks for sharing nice photos of our Companion Case. Glad to hear that you liked it Unfortunately we couldn't offer more quantities of the Stratus Grey this time round.

We'll definitely look into offering/designing more of Eletech signature range of carrying cases and accessories in the future!

With price/performance ratio factored in And this is based on what I'm hearing, since Daniel already pointed out "everybody listens differently".

@twister6 did u manage to pair Socrates with Elysium? I’m wondering whether there is a performance bump in the midrange Vs Code51.

Will cover it in my review.

Great! Thanks for heads up. I love the Elysium and can see it pairing well with Socrates based on early impressions of its characteristics.
