No that is US dollars it is $3,330.00 Singapore dollars.

My mistake you are right. I emailed them about the cable and the 4 wire configuration starts of at S$2,699 and will be listed at S$1,960 for BF. Mondo expensive but I suppose it's the voodoo magic they put in them that you are paying for. It sounds silly to pay that much but there seems to be a good amount of people that are firm believers.

As someone whom experienced both the 2-wire and 4-wire, I can assure you that you are getting what you paid for in this case.
 
I certainly have become a huge fan of PW Audio cables more than Effect Audio, even though the latter made some really exquisite cables themselves, but I only tried their ARES cables along with the EXCALIBUR so I probably should try more before I jump to conclusion yet.
 
This December I'll be able to try the HERACLES and hopefully LEONIDAS as well.

I'll plug my Zeus with Heracles.

  I'll plug my Zeus with Heracles.

I wish I could be there to see your face upon first listen. I can only imagine how the two will sound...enjoy.

Something tells me you're going to be in a very happy place when you close your eyes after you fire up your first track from that combination.

Getting my Zeus-XR ADEL this Tuesday. So excited.

When did you place your order, if you dont mind me asking? I ordered the UIEM Spartan ADEL and the wait is torture!

Oct 12th. Impression sent Oct 17th, received Oct 19th. Zeus-XR ADEL shipped out Nov 10th.

How would you compare zeus r with the roxanes and the Oriolus?

 
I don't have much experience with the Oriolus but the Zeus-R, compared to the Roxanne, is MUCH clearer, more resolving, airier, larger and more precise in imaging, and more neutral. However, it isn't as fun or punchy in the lower regions.

I apologize for interrupting this Empire Ears thread but are people actually considering spending ~$2,330.00 USD on a meter and half of copper wire which cannot cost more than $50 in material costs? What am I missing?

Maybe I have wrong site: http://music-sanctuary.com/products/pwaudio-the-1960s-flagship-iem-cable

 
I personally thought the same thing and considered purchasing one an impossibility simply due to the price, but then I tried it and found in it qualities I've never heard in other cables before. Now, of course, it's a matter of said qualities being worth it or not at the end of the day, but considering we're in a thread discussing over-$2000-14-driver CIEMs, I think it's reasonable for some of us to think so.
 
Oh, and to answer your question, what you're missing is a demo

Rin, when you are playing around with all these cool toys at Music Sanctuary store, please ask Calvin to let you borrow some higher res DAP source.  You are not doing a justice to all these EE and Noble monitors and cables you are writing impressions about when using $70 lo-res FiiO X1.  Even with an external budget amp, you are still driving it from a cheap dac and overall sound will not be anywhere near the high resolution, transparency, and retrieval of details for these IEMs to reach their full potential.  And also, a good idea to keep the bass boost off and EQ disabled

Well, That's what I plan to do on December.
 
Seeing as he's gonna bring the AK380 Copper to me, there'll definitely be no bottleneck of any sound quality whatsoever.
 
And as for amps, well...my bass boost has always been turned off and kept on low gain so you have no need to worry about that.

Thanks!

I didn't order mine until November 3rd. Was hoping they'd be here by Thanksgiving but that may be a little too optimistic!

... Or maybe the UIEM turnaround will be a few days shorter!

Yes, a 14 driver CIEM with an ADEL module and variable tuning I understand for $2,700 but for $2,330 for 4+ feet of copper wire. Hehe

Maybe I just misunderstood the content of this post.  But either way, not trying to give you a hard time bud!  I have been in the same shoes a few years ago when I started reviewing

Well okay there, low blow...
 
That was my mistake because I didn't realize listening with Bass Boost Off is much accurate before so I can't say much other than everyone makes hiccups. 

 
Besides I've been listening without using it since for a long time now.
 
And I think I'll probably ask Ryuzoh-san to mod the E12A to be an amp without any gain or bass boost whatsoever just to eliminate this particular problem. That, and likely ask him to reduce distortion and whatever that can be improved upon.
 
......or just get an ALO RX or something...eh. 
 
Decisions, decisions.
