Wonderful setup! Any cable pairing impressions?

In my own experience, what I find is that the more time I spend with a particular cable pairing, the more I am able to notice the difference. For my Gae Bolg for example, if you ask me to A/B using a single track between two cables, say between Prudence and Socrates, I may not be able to tell the difference. However, if I listen to Gae Bolg with one cable for an hour or so, the characteristics of the cable become so obvious to me.

Yes, I can provide some impressions

So before the Socrates landed, I did some cable rolling. Triton Audio 8 wire Pure Silver, PWAudio Loki, Ares II (stock cable).
I GREATLY preferred Ares II by a large margin over the others. I expected the Triton Audio or even the Audio Loki to beat out the stock cable. The stock cable is smooth, mellow, the bass is just right on it. The silver and silver alloy cable (Loki) didn’t sound quite right, out of sync. The silver brightness combined with sharper bass just sounded wonky. Before this experience, I didn’t care for audible differences in cables. This experience has converted me.

So now, the Socrates has landed. It’s a tad better than Ares, but I’m surprised how remarkable the stock cable is suited for the LX. Especailly after comparing to the other cables I own, while Socrates is the best, Ares II is much closer to Socrates than the others are to the Ares for LX.

Socrates takes the Ares II but adds smoothness and clarity in the treble. I perceive this change to be a signature that works more in tune with the LX bass, a more coherent sound. In summary, the Socrates pushes the LX sound right to edge of clarity while retaining that classic smooth Ares II character. The physics and ergonomics of the Socrates is a clear win over Ares. The leather case is just luscious, I’m excited to see what @Eric Chong is cooking up with leather accessories in the future.

In short, excellent! I look forward to what Eletech offers in the future, I’ll be marking May on my calendar!

I present the STACK MK2

Oh hey! What a nice little rack! Did you get it customised? Neat! It's like a mini version of the HiFi systems rack!

And another very happy user of Eletech Plato (with M8 and Elysium).
Brings the best out of my already nicely resolving Elysiums and transports perfectly the super transparent, engaging and relaxed sound of my M8.
This was a recommendation of other M8/Ely users and the investment was very much worth it.
It did not become totally different InEar with this cable but for sure a better in the sense of clearly more refined resolving one.

Thanks for sharing your setup and impressions ~!! Welcome to the #ElyPlato camp It's been well documented by now that i'm a fervent fan of this synergy lol!

Enjoy!

Im glad that you love the Socrates synergy! Hope you loved the entire product experience it entails It appears that LX does pair better with Coppers after all.

Did y'all want a tease for the MAY's release? I can post up a rejected design that we've had

Thanks! I purchased the rack from the Amazon Japan site, you can find it here:

Let’s see. It’s 10PM on a Wednesday and I’m asking a guy half way around the world to tease me...

Yeah, sounds about right.

Teaser Alert

Here's a early prototype idea of the new splitter for the May release that we've rejected ;

Expect the finalized ver. to be significantly different from this and way cooler

Thanks to Eric for delivering my Iliad interconnect within 3 days from Singapore to Switzerland. Premium service and communication. Eletech deserves its positive reputation.

Enjoying it tonight with the Romi BX2+ and my two portable combos of choice:

The Plussound EXO gold-platted copper and the Iliad are complementing each other very well, design wise. Both are beautifully crafted. Happy listener right here:

The interconnect family (in order of awesomeness from left to right) - every cable sounds great, but the Iliad and the EXO are more « balanced » as the other three, which have a tendency to be slightly too bright (Forza Audio Clear) or too dark (Oyaide HPC). The Oyaide HPSC is very good in the sub-EUR 100.- bracket.

New mate with Iliad has arrived: MEST MKii.

Oh these Mest MKII... Custom or Uni, that’s the only question I am asking myself right now

For MKii I would recommend Uni. UM has worked to improve the fit and it finally works very well with my ears.

The shells look small enough and CIEM-like, which would fit my « normal » ears as well. Let’s wait for more impression and decide afterwards. Thanks anyway and enjoy your pair.

Does anyone know where I can find 4.4mm sleeves to cover the Eletech connector plugs when not in use? Can’t find them on the US Amazon store.
