every time my wife gets something expensive that costs more than 500$, i get to call escort women of the same value

gotta admit , first time was tough- but we have been perfect since then

guilt-less shopping and sex with other people = happy marriage.
It is a fair deal but sound weird.

With this deal, I would stop buying expensive item, neither my wife.

Just a heads up, in the ordering options the drop downs for the cable only show Ares II for both Valkyrie and Wraith even though the description says they come with Eros II and Cleopatra respectively.

Fixed.

Will these be available for purchase at the Nashville NAMM?

They will be. Come see us! Ask for myself, Austin.

Was about to pre-order the Valkyrie, but I need to know if the universal version will come with the Dragonhide faceplate, or is that only for the custom. Don’t really want a black shell. Thanks.

Universal Valkyrie comes with Dragonhide faceplate w/black shell. Dragonhide faceplate may posssibly be an option for custom in the future(?).

The Valkyrie Universal comes standard with the Dragon Hide face plate, and onyx shell. Customers who purchase a Custom Valkyrie can get the Dragon Hide on their CIEM at no additional charge.

i am joking - hell , i am not even married

Riiight... for all we know it could have been one of the escorts who typed a response for the real proedros. Nothing like Head-Fi role play after all. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hope some more Valkyrie impressions trickle in soon!

I'm hoping to hear impressions about the Wraith. Admittedly it's out of my price range (unless there is an option with a lesser $ cable) but it seems the only impressions so far have been
"not my cup of tea". The description on the website sure sounds interesting..

I only listened to Valkyrie at CanJam SoCal about 30 min at least and forgot my Phantom for that moment. I think it sounds more detail than Phantom but less warmer. Some Headfiers said that Valkyrie SQ is between Phantom and LegendX. Wraith is not my cup of tea!

Thanks for the impressions!

Need some suggestions, i own the ares II 8 wires and whant the new valks... what is going to be the best pairing among this 3 cables types?
Ares II 8wires , eros II 4 wires or cleo 4 wires?

My preference in sound is maximum sub bass, easy never fatiguing treble and slightly mid forward.

I never heard any other cables from EA so my only experience is ares II cables hmmm

This sounds like Eros II 8wire which is more affordable to me since I have never listened to Eros II 4 wire and Cleo 4wire.


Hmmm thats not guaranteed that cleo 4 wire would be inferior to eros ii 8 wires ,)

Reading reviews cleo is very unique and special for a pure silver cable...

You can buy a bespoke 8-wire new for $300 or have yours converted for $150. Plus shipping. Sounds even better than the 4-wire, by a good amount. I'd contact Eric first before doing anything, just to see what he says about your broken wire. Unless you clipped it with scissors, of course. Depending on how old it is, and what is wrong with it, he might have a better way to go with it. And I wouldn't let someone else play with it until you know what is wrong with it.

eric@effectaudio.com

Today is Sunday, so he probably won't respond until tomorrow night (he's in Singapore).
It appears that Eric is no longer with EA? according to the EA thread. that would explain why i didn't hear back from him. would you or anyone else happen to know another point of contact at EA? thanks!

I'd just use the contact us function under about and explain the situation. And yes Eric just left EA, he was a good guy will be missed, talked to him st Can Jam SoCal.
