Huge props to Empire Ears for this Valkyrie, I can't give too many impressions other than the initial. I will say you really delivered a lot for the price point. They look amazing, they fit well, the cable I like better than the Ares II, the packaging is fun, and the accessories gorgeous...oh yeah and they sound pretty damn good, too early for real impressions. For the $1500 price point these are huge contenders! Nice work!

does anyone here pair his zeus xr with the pw 1960s 2-wire ?
is the cable worth getting ? currently pairing mine with EA Lionheart and curious if 1960s 2w would be a significant improvement that justifies getting it....
any feedback would be appreciated ....
also selling a mint EA Ares ii (8w) , just a heads up - mint condition like new with zero usage as LH is my go-to cable for 1 year now.....

@proedros Just wanted you to know that I purchased the Lionheart for my Zeus XIV too about 8 months ago due to your recommendation. Many thanks...it's my favorite pairing. Good luck on your new discovery.

Those have got to be my favorites! If I ever go custom, I am going to borrow that design.

Me too
+3.... Since the WM1A I am constantly amazed at how good these sound. Every album is a new experience revealing layers of instrumentation or subtle tonalities I hadn't heard before. Half the time I put on an album to hear a particular track but get lost for 2-3 more as I'm hearing so much more than I had ever before. I just listened to a BA bass iem that is supposed to be a bit bassy and there is not only weight missing compared to the LX but also bass detail is missing. I am spoiled by the LX low end and I never considered myself a bass head by any means.

I am loving my Nemesis to follow bass parts.
And it has a high frequency lift that's suits my age & career related HF hearing loss.
