So, I received my Project 8 Fortitude last night, and first word that comes to mind is, WOW!
Let's start with the packaging, which was amazing. The entire package and unboxing experience was a notch above all the other cable companies I have dealt with in the past. I really felt like I was opening a premium custom hand made item. Bravo Eric on the packaging!
Now to the fun part, the cable, and first thing is the build. This cable is braided to perfection. Also, what is really awesome, and really adds to the premium experience, is the fact that the Eletech symbols all line up perfectly to be viewed while wearing the cable. The hardware is stunning, and you can really tell a lot of attention went into building the cable. Looking closely at the wire, you can tell this is some premium copper, as well. The cable is soft and supple as it gets, and there are zero microphonics. I spent as much time looking at the cable last night as I did listening with it. Once I was done admiring the perfect build quality, I plugged the Project 8 Fortitude up to my Noble K10U. This is the pair of iems, that has been the most challenging to find the perfect cable for, and I have been searching for the past year. I have tried tons of different cables (silver, spc, copper, palladium plated silver etc. . .), from a bunch of big name cable makers, and I was never totally satisfied with any of the pairings. Well, to my surprise the Project 8 Fortitude is the perfect match for my K10U, that I have been looking for all along. The bass is tight and deep, the mids came forward and gained more texture, and the highs are smooth and extended but never hard or harsh. The vocals are to die for, and this is the most realistic my K10U have ever sounded. The stage opened up quite a bit, and the imaging got better too. This was everything I wanted with my K10U and more!
All in all, I am so happy with my purchase, and you can consider me a huge fanboy of Eletech. A big thanks to you Eric Chong, for such an amazing product, and buying experience.
Thanks so much for the gorgeous case, too!
