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!
