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.

Good to hear! Ths Oslo gen SK is a pain to use, and I am really curious about the logic behind building this cable without taking ergonomics into consideration. At the end of the day, what I really want is to easily enjoy the IEM without fighting with the cable.

Now I am interested in Socrates as well. Aesthetically them are the perfect match.

Whilst the aesthetics do match up pretty well, i recommend for you to try out the Socrates if possible to see if you like the SQ pairing synergy

Am I the only one to think that Eletech went over the top with the Aenid, design and presentation wise, with the gold and everything? It seems that manufacturers are competing in "making a statement" with overdone design elements and lavish packaging these days (the useless briefcase that came with the R8 springs to mind). I count myself as a big fan of Eletech as I own several of their cables and have more incoming, but the Aenid is too much for me. I would think twice before wearing such a thing in public.

I know this is a fanboy thread but I still hope there is room for critical comments.

As you will have noticed, the last thing you have to worry about is fanboys ganging up on you for sharing your thoughts here. Eric is also one of the people who I feel most comfortable sharing constructive criticism with, as I know he genuinely appreciates it and takes it to heart.

When I look at Aeneid as a reviewer, I think the detailing on the cable is insanely good and the cable as a whole looks superb while fitting with how I understand Eletech as a brand. It is a statement product, exuding luxury and every detail (including the name) works great within the Eletech branding. However, personally I actually much prefer an understated and minimalistic design, ideally with black sleeving to add durability as well as "stealth". So yeah, plenty of room for constructive criticism and brainstorming in general.

@Eric Chong, will you be exhibiting at CanJam SoCal or will one of your dealers be there in your stead?

@Eric Chong, will you be exhibiting at CanJam SoCal or will one of your dealers be there in your stead?

I so agree, it would be good to have Eric/Eletech at CanJam SoCal!
I hope you seriously consider being here!

That case is so gorgeous! I’m super jealous!

Black & gold. What an aesthetic and sonic match made in heaven

Glad it has safely arrived! Psyched to hear the impressions of FS & Aeneid!

Eh! That's the qdc V14 yeah? That's one IEM i didn't try the pairing with. How goes the synergy?

Unfortunately I can't confirm at the moment =/. Unlike in the past I would probably know if i'll be making the trip by now. It'll all depend on the border restrictions by then. It'll be no good if i have to come back to a 21 days quarantine. However, if restrictions are eased or some form of "Vaccine Passport" happens by then, I will definitely be there! I've been grounded for way too long, everybody knows how much i love Canjams

That said, I'll perhaps check with Bloom Audio if they will be attending the show. That could be a way for Eletech to be there too!

Yeah! It's the V14 in CIEM. The Aeneid is the one cable I've tried with it that sounds best without all switches off! Everything else I've tried with it needs a bit of an adjustment on the tuning switches to sound the best. The Iliad I have sounds nicer with the ultra-high switch on for example, and with the stock cable, pretty much all switches need to be on or else it sounds congested.

Aeneid though? Big and bold without any adjustments/boosts, with this pleasing tonality with the V14 that's hard to describe. Not to mention how good the two combined together look!

Man, it's tough to look at all these Aeneids impressions streaming in while I'm waiting on the delivery :'(

Has anyone tried the Aeneid with the mighty bird yet?

There's a slight chance @bigbeans may have tried the pair up.

It's even more agonizing for me knowing that you're way ahead of me in the Aeneid's queue lol
