Perhaps you can somehow use the fact that Socrates is 8 characters. Don't ask me how! That's for the creative ones among us :)

Oof! I did not even realise that!

We're cooking up some really nice designs for the Socrates 8 splitter, haven't got around to perfecting and shortlisting it yet. We wanted something that still retains the identity of a Socrates but yet dial it up a notch.

I suppose the splitter could be an octagon or octahedron. :)

Had to contain my excitement to unbox the OtL due to work commitments, finally have got some time yesterday to savour the entire experience of the product and packaging. I would like to just point out some details of the packaging that I really loved, as it would be too much to talk about if I were to talk about the entire packaging in details.

1. The intricacy on the packaging is just out of this world imo, the amount of thinking and some serious work has really been put in to achieve such levels of details. The colour theme and visuals of the entire packaging were well-complemented, breathing life to the narrative of the Ode To Laura. Kudos to Eletech and team for going the extra mile to add value to their products!

2. I saw that there was this little coin that's included in the packaging, which I thought was a very nice touch as a small token of surprise (we never know what we will get!)

3. Moving on, I love the distressed leather case and cable tie included, albeit the greyish colour tone, somehow it did not deviate very far from the entire colour scheme. I feel that it adds on to the vintage/ renaissance style just right.

4. Last but not least, the cable!! I have never seen such details made possible on the splitter as well as the plug termination. The layered design on the splitter had a very three-dimensional look, and the alternating petals/ leaves went hand-in-hand with each other. Did some research on the brand's design, and realised that only the OtL had a totally different design on the plug termination end. Very nice approach on this, I would say it is a direction well worthed pursuing for future products.

In all, the unboxing experience I had with the Ode To Laura was simply incredible. The cable itself, the narrative, colours were spot on, together with the bundled accessories were just icing to the cake. Good job to Eletech and I am certainly looking forward to more awesome products in the future. Keep it up! :muscle: :muscle:

Shall let some photos do the talking, pardon the poor photography!

Hi folks- a practical question for existing Eletech cables. I recently started to store my IEMs /cables in an air tight case with dessication pods, as I was starting to note some moisture issues in the IEMs. Dessication fixed the IEM problems, but I'm noting that the cables are getting a bit stiffer in that dry environment. Any suggestions from the group to keep the cables supple i.e. safe moisturing lotions that won't damage the cable coatings. I own Socrates OG and Project 8 Fortitude, so far.

If I say it backwards three times will a compeleted Soc8 appear in front of me with the funds transferred from my account to Eletech?🤔

@Eric Chong has mentioned leather conditioner, I havent tried yet, but I may be that done with a certain cable to try it out.

Photos are looking great, you're too humble! Meanwhile I am still patiently waiting for mine to arrive but I am already excited for the drop of Socrates 8.

I have spoken to some who attended CanJam SoCal and they shared with me that the Socrates 8 was just one of the few prototypes brought to the show. They mentioned something like 'Hemlock'(?) Will there be more information or teases on it @Eric Chong ?

It's been a pleasure meeting @Eric Chong at CanJam London this year. I'm happy to say that Prudence just came via mail for the review at Ear-Fidelity.com

I'm already in love. Top build quality, super soft and playable. It makes Shuoer S12 play insanely good. Other (more price-appropriate) IEMs are on the way.
