Just picked up a like new set of Spartan IV Adel. They weren't even run in. Before enough run time and tip swapping, I thought I didn't care for Adel on this model but the G1 actually sounds great now that they've settled in. Could also be that the module may have been leaking. A little ring conditioning and all good. For those with universal Spartans, try Grado/Ortofon tips.

I know these threads tend to be about new and top models but this is a real sleeper. Way too clean, balanced and musical to be this far under the radar.

Anyway, I'm real stoked for an EE hybrid. @Jack Vang - Will you be bringing these goodies with you to CanJam Singapore?

This is literally me waiting for a chance for the new models -- especially the Phantom...
You and me both buddy! I have been running around in circles waiting to hear them...

Well, EE in general to be perfectly honest, as I haven't yet found demo units in London. Can't wait for CanJam to come here! :D

After visiting Japan, The Legned X will arrive at the Authorized Dealer in Hong Kong on Jan 19th. For those who are interested and nearby, prepare your DAPs and possibility your wallet.

I’m going to be a Phantom guy im sure. I’m a neutral guy who needs both ends of the spectrum. My high end system goes down to a legit 26hz in my room without standing waves. Sub bass is very important to me but tonality is most important.

Anybody can tell me, where in HK is this authorized dealer? Last time I tried to find them, I ended up with some tiny headphone store hidden in dying small shopping mall, with no EE around.

I just got my ciem Zeus with the Adel Mam Module.

My left side mam module after a few turns to loosen it won't move but my right side mam module can completely loosen to take the adjustable mechanism out. Want to know if I have a problem on my left side mam module.

How awesome is that? Please keep posting about how the break in goes and how you like them. Spartan's sure seem like a great choice for the price. A true sweet spot in the line.

To my ears the vocals are breathtaking in every note. There are detailed High with sweet midrange (in some love songs) and especially defined bass are awesome (few songs with real rumbling bass)... Ares II are awesomely working well with Spartan IV (mine are CIEMs) which are very loud (maybe non Adel version) but not fatigue easily. I was listening with Fiio X5 III.
