Geez... is there something wrong with the notifications? I just found out that the last 3 pages exist..

Amazing impressions of the Aeneid..

As far as the "gaudy" factor... I agree with the sentiment that as a statement piece it should go all out. I don't see the actual pics looking "too much" at all. The press photos with the smoother gold wire look might have been a bit much for my tastes but the actual photos look in line with the rest of the cables with the splitter being a very a propos upscaled design. Also, not everyone buys cables because they sound great. Some people buy them for the aesthetic and ergonomic feature only and don't even believe that the sound is different enough.. In this case they've gotta look good and the Aeneid delivers.

Also, anyone looking to sell a Socrates in 2pin/2.5mm let me know as I'm looking for one for my new Oriolus Isabellae. :)
The Socrates is what I just bought for my soon to arrive Isabellae. I also think a PW # 5 will be my mobile cord and I have several of those.

Gathering the feedback from all of y'all i reckon that we do need to start looking towards a minimalistic line-up or cable options for a daily driver. Perhaps something to be visited in our Virtues series next! We'll likely explore something along this direction in our upcoming Headphone Cables line-up! Keep posted for that! :)

It's great to have such active discussions and critique on our line ups, We greatly appreciate it! After all, we can only improve with your help! Such is the case for Aeneid's packaging where we try to address the shortfall in our packaging details and space optimisation as mentioned in @Deezel177's Iliad review and impressions.


As always, though, any feedback or critique on any thread is (and should be) more than welcome. There shouldn't be such a thing as a fanboy thread. That helps no one; not the manufacturers and, especially, not the consumers.
Completely agreed, as should Eletech's discussion be. I've always been known to tell our friends and customers this "Please give me a brutal assessment and if possible, nitpick on the minor details so i know where i can work on next time".

Definitely something going on, I remember complaining to Micheal about the same thing recently. I haven't been getting notifications in =/

@SBranson preferences - tick the first three boxes and then "Persistent Alerts" or something of the sort - that and unwatching/watching the threads I was interested in fixed it for me :)

I've recently received quite a bit of requests on the Socrates, made to pair with the Oriolus Isabellae - Did i miss out impressions or synergy of this pairing?

It's a bit surprising as few people have the Isa yet. MusicTeck won't start shipping them until late June/early July.

see what else arrived today? Paired with the Final Shichiku Kangen. Gorgeous isn't it?
Wow! I’m actually super interested in the difference of sound between Socrates and Oslo Gen.SK, paired with your Shichiku Kangen. Mind sharing more impressions whenever you find it’s ready? Oslo gen.sk is just too stiff.

Cant agree with you more! The Oslo Gen SK is the result of the cable being too thin. While the sheathing is too thick. Hence, it’s like barbed wire curling up.

Well, once I switched over, it’s like a veil has been dropped. I am surprised what a bottleneck the Oslo gen SK was. Everything is so much clearer and more dynamic. I do like it very much. The combo. :)

I can’t speak for anyone else but for me it’s just a hunch based on what I’m hearing and what I suspect the Socrates will do.

Eric Chong.
Is Eletech ever going to sell the Justice cable? Do you know if that vendor that is selling the Justice cable as a package with the CA Dorado 2020 is ever going to allow us consumers a chance to purchase it only?
Eric, does Eletech have a similar cable to the Justice ?

Unfortunately, no. We have agreements with the HK distributor to have that developed exclusively for them. You may have to write in to them to see if they allow it for sale individually.

At the moment, Justice is our only 'Hybrid' cable, but we are indeed planning for a special hybrid piece in the future to bolster the ranks of the "Virtues" series :)

Look forward to hybrid cables from you and your team @Eric Chong . Interesting development. You will remember that years back, one of the pioneers in this field came up with a silver/copper hybrid. :)

Indeed! Hybrids are always a joy to work with. It increases the difficulties a lot with many different permutations. While "Hybrid" is also a general term - The real question is what kind of materials should we employ in a Hybrid set up :)

Tracking shows the Aeneid should finally arrive in the coming days. Looks like this will be a rewarding week of listening. Looking to compare the Aeneid / Iliad, both of Eric's masterpieces.

Looking forward to your impressions :)

I’ve paired my Iliad with Thummim and used the Plato cable for my U18T. I’m liking the synergy of Plato and the U18T v much!!!
