definitely worth it ,you are splashing so much cash already, you are gonna regret it later down the road if you just get the R tuning

get both r and XIV

Changed my order to the XR. Thanks to all for the guidance.

Your welcome man, much better decision IMO. Be sure to post pics when they come in, anxious to see what design you chose.

Yes...My hugo2 is on the way. Finally. Hugo2 + ZeusXR pairing coming soon.

The following masterplan just entered my brain:
$699SGD? I think I still have enough budget for that mod => I'll contact MS asap, before it's sold out.
Once I've got it, I can start saving up for the upcoming years for the WM1Z itself as well

I think now you need 2 WM1Z, one modded and the other not, so you can swap them depending on the mood.

Hey guys, so I've read that the Athena has more bass quantity than the Zeus, and anything less than the Athena's bass quantity would be too little for me. What's a good cable recommendation to bring the Athena's resolution, clarity, and treble extension a bit closer to the Zeus without sacrificing bass quantity. I'm looking to spend $300-$500, but I'd definitely consider cheaper options as well. Thanks everyone

You guys are killing me!
Ok, on the advise

Hi Ike1985/subguy812, Should I change my order to the XR?

There is nothing to lose with 2 signature. All you gain is much higher flexibility with a few hundred bucks. You are still getting the performance of Zeus-R, and you can change to XIV with a pop of a switch. 2 Zeus in one package Holy yes

No, that's the wrong approach. I have been working for multi-millionaires for years and haven't got a penny. Know why they are so rich? Because they never part with any of it! What you need is someone with a huge income, but who is still constantly broke. Ah see...

Congratulations @Deezel177 on the THL appointment! Your writing here brings so much value to this wonderful thread. They combine technical know-how (clearly your forte, or Fourte lol), the vocabulary of a proven wordsmith, and a dash of humour... great reading indeed.

Really looking forward to your reviews!

The Effect Audio x Music Sanctuary Eos would be perfect! I'll be reviewing this in the near future too.

Thank you so much, man; I really appreciate that. I love your write-ups too, dude, and honestly everyone here makes this thread a pretty awesome place to hang out. I'll be posting the review in a few hours after a half-dozen more read-throughs.

You have Eos coming in? Nice! Will you do a comparison to Ares II as well? Very curious what Eos brings over Ares II. Saw Eos pop up in the Lime Ears thread too, attached to Model X.

Announcement - Beat Audio US Premium IEM Upgrade Cable Tour
Given all the talk about cables in this thread, I thought I would mention a new US cable tour that will allow you to try them for yourself. Having hosted a number of TOTL CIEM tours, the topic always comes up so it only made sense to do a cable series. Beat Audio graciously provided us with the first tour kit which I am very excited to hear. Those that are interested can sign up here:

I actually bought the Eos while I was over at Singapore last week. I did compare it for a brief second to the Ares II and I have an idea of how the two differ, but I'll have to give it another go to be sure. I haven't seen that post on the LE thread, I'll have to hop on over to post my review as well. Thank you for your kind words by the way!

Beat Audio cables are awesome in terms of build and ergonomics. Soundwise, well that is up to each one to decide.

 

[Deezel177]

A few words: To the always-generous @flinkenick, I am completely and utterly humbled by the opportunity. And, to everyone else on this thread who've shown me great kindness and hours upon hours of fun, I could not have done this without you...
