damn, the right 2 pin connector for the janus D is so hard to insert into the right LX. has to use A LOT of strength to just put it in. wrote to EA and hopefully they could give a solution which doesn't involve me mailing the cables back to them. >.<

Don't jam it in there. Gentle gentle gentle.

This is an issue with EA cables. My 8-wire on the right side will not go all the way in on my Zeus. The left is fine. When I demo'ed a Phantom at CanJam, I had Jack swap out my 2.5 cable because I was cautious about that issue, and he said the same thing. Sometimes the posts run a bit large (or maybe the EE holes run a bit small). Which sounds like a personal problem but isn't.

I have the same issue with my Ares II 8 wire, though the pins only stick out from my Spartans by 1mm thereabouts so I don't regard it as a problem. They also require quite a bit of force to jam into the IEMs, but I'd rather that than loose connections. Larger pins could theoretically result in more contact area and thus a better sounding connection, although that's probably wishful thinking on my part.

The best connection is always no connection at all so I do wonder how much better these IEMs would sound if the cable were soldered directly to the drivers as opposed to using a friction-fit connection.

 

[olddude]

Yep- the side that does not fit is simply an almost-all-the-way-in fit. It's secure. Funny how one side fits and the other doesn't.

As to soldering, neither of us would be able to use an 8-wire upgrade if the IEM's came with soldered cables. Good news/bad news.

I just purchased the Jodi Consumer vac. It works very well. I got good suction on the Zeus (much less on the UERM, the bores are wider), and even though I don't have ear wax, I work up a good sweat and likely shed skin cells when walking with the IEM's in my ears. It cleaned the Zeus up nicely, simple to use, not loud at all, and the best part is that when my hearing finally really goes in the quite foreseeable nearly soon future I can use it on my hearing aids. Win-win.

Don't jam it in there. Gentle gentle gentle.

looks like i need to get an US > EU socket adaptor , probably US has different electric sockets ?

did anybody else from europe had this slight hickup ?

very eager to try it tomorrow , hopefully after getting the US > EU socket adaptor

Thinking of upgrading cables and wondering if Anyone heard the PWaudio 1960 4 wire with the EE Phantoms? If so, how is the synergy?

 

[olddude]

Are you going to get a new toy for your Phantom? Did you try over at the High-End (IEM) Cable thread?

 

[surfratt]

Thinking about it From reviews the PWaudio works well with a darker/warmer iem as it is very revealing. Love the Phantoms, but am going further down the rabbit hole, lol. Want to hear some impressions if anyone used them together.

120 h burn in and my custom Phantoms sound like a heavenly creature whispering into my ears <3 Out of the box ---> 100% , after burn in 120 % everything like before, just better & more bass.
I paired them with my Thor Silver II 8 wire and it didn't convince me. Not the best synergy imo. The Thor is best paired with the LX = perfect synergy
Right now i love the Phantoms with the Leonidas much more. Ares II 8 wire is on its way...

Edit : even DnB or other electronic genres sound simply stunning. man !....

I have both the Thor and Leonidas and an incoming Phantom. What advantages or differences did you detect from the base Ares? Thanks!
