My gosh, how right you are..

Looks and aesthetics aside (full marks on them), the Iliad is really a huge upgrade on my IEMs. It's incredible how much the iliad brings into the system. Highs were very well extended without stretching the imaging, without a hint of sibilance yet packed full of details and air. Midrange is sweet but not overly warm and done while lows kicks in naturally without being muted or overpowering. I would say the illiad is the most organic sounding cable i've listened to by far.

Swapping IEMs around, i noticed that the Iliad brings subtle but very defining changes to the IEMs, it does not have an overpowering trait that is consistent across the various IEMs i tested it on but enhances them. Would i call this neutral? Perhaps. Can't put my finger around it. Enjoying it immensely nonetheless.

Not forgetting the insane levels of holography and imaging it adds to every pairing. If something has to be Iliad's defining traits, it has to be the holography and airiness!

Once again thanks @Eric Chong! I'll be staved off my cable upgrade itch till your next release...or not! In fact trying the Iliad and Socrates made me curious about Plato. What a money pit! :)

Couldnt agree more on those Iliads. I'm a proud owner of 2 of them!

I love the Iliad to death but on sound, my favourite ET is still the Plato - even more neutral, super wide stage, amazing dynamics and really good treble extension. It's my go-to testing cable, because I found it never really alters the signature of the IEM while giving it a substantial boost in technical ability. Would heavily recommend giving one a shot!

With all the Iliad talk I was hoping some Plato love would make an appearance to save me from myself...
And then you, @Eric Chong post about the 8-wire Plato!!?! There is no hope for me... or at least my wallet..

Some relaxing music during a short break in another brutal day WFH. I was initially using a Cayin L adapter and recalled: wait a minute! I have the Plato adapter. Whoa! It's like a veil was lifted. Must remember to use my Plato adapter instinctively and not worry about wearing the precious down 🙊. But seriously, @Eric Chong , great adapter! 🙏

Got the adaptors today to try out Iliad + SK. Absolutely insane pairing. Increases the textures and smoothness in sound, making them slightly warmer but not too far a departure of final’s original signature. Not to mention that this is much more comfortable than the Oslo cables.
