Good point on dual geometry, wondering if adding 2 strand of the Chiron to the Cleo 2 would be worth it? (Of course would depend on if effect audio would be willing to build it)

You would have to PM Suyang about the possibility of it. It really depends on your budget if you can upgrade to Chiron bespoke. Chiron is one of those cables that truly makes a very noticeable difference in soundstage width and layering, though it will affect tonality as there's no way around that if you just want to keep the tonality unfortunately. The OCTA Cleo II though is a much safer bet, and 4x cheaper than Chiron for the upgrade and you'll definitely increase depth perception than just the 4 wire version as I have observed with Cleo 1 4W vs Cleo 1 Octa

Side note: 8 wires are sexy AF and after having 8W, it's truly hard to go back to 4W as my main cables

Going with OCTA Cleo 2 might be the best option. Right now just might not be the right time to buy audio related gear. Crazy what the price of medical care is In the USA well over 100,000 in bills from the cancer treatment I’m going thru.

Anyways back to the topic of cables have to say after experimenting with different Combinations of tubes, eartips tips, Ares 2 settings and cables I’m really happy on how great the Cleo 2 synergy works in my system. The improvements to the UM Indigo sound quality has inpressed me it’s the best the Indigo have sounded.
I do not use any kind of equalizer in my system so finding the right mixture of of the above has been a fun experience.

Thanks again to Affect Audio allowing me this opportunity to check out a high quality silver cable. Having something fun to do durning this difficult time is helping me cope with everything and keeping mind distracted from pain.

It would be a shame to use EQ when we're tweaking sound with cables lol (besides, EQ doesn't elevate the technicality or may even degrade it). Cleo Octa 2 upgrade is definitely the best if you've dialed in the synergy with your Indigo. It's more than just a sound upgrade IMHO, the 8 wires braiding eliminates wire internal stress IME so that the cables don't get "memory tangled" when put into storage

Get well soon my friend. Glad this hobby keeps you going. Happiness is a form of cure for illness after all, not an oxymoron IMHO.

The chamber carrying case looks awesome and nice that you added more options to the signature series. The 2 prototypes I tested sounded great and recommend them as an inexpensive upgrade cable that punches higher than excepted for the price.
The Cleo II is on a whole different level compared to the Signature Series.
I went back to compare the Mest Indigo cable against it and confirmed that I enjoyed the Cleo II cable more.
Just ordered a new Wells Audio dragon Amp so once it's broken in will add thoughts on how the Cleo II sounds along with addition thoughts on cable sound quility I have noted after extended use.

Hey guys, I've just posted my full review of the Cleopatra II cable here. My closing thoughts included below.

​

In Cleopatra II, EA has released a formidable successor to the original and much-loved Cleo. The shift from a more traditional hard-edged silver-sounding design to a more ‘analogue-like’ smooth and silky profile is personally desirable, and makes Cleo II a much more versatile upgrade cable for a wider range of IEMs, in my opinion. The titanium hardware is premium and expensive-looking, and the fit and finish is all top-class, albeit not quite at the level of super-luxury multi-kilobuck TOTL cables.

Sonically Cleo II is every bit the high-end performer I expected it to be. If you find the right synergy pairing, the sound is both refined and extended without being aggressive or pushy, and doesn’t thin out the bass on my dynamic driver IEMs anywhere near as much as pure silver sometimes tends to do. Midrange performance is impressively clean, and treble air is plentiful without any unwanted shine or glare. This a rich sound that, while not quite mimicking the same qualities of a warm copper cable, certainly leans in that direction, but with its own distinct personality.

If you’re in the market for a serious upgrade to your IEM’s stock cable, and are willing to spend a little extra for some premium finishes and refined performance, Cleo II should definitely be on your audition list.

Do effect audio do black friday sales?

Looks surprising good together!

The new product from EA.

However, the response from Berluti.

Any comments? @Suyang

I ordered one in the past and also received with a cable. To purchase separately they are way over priced. I do not recommend them. Especially as they do not protect the IEMs individually. Dignis cases and many others are far superior.

So you mean it's not an official collabo as you've stated?? I'll write in to LVMH to double check.

 

[hahachah27]

Hmm im wondering what is the performance difference like between Leo ii and Janus B? Saw the website selling a refurbished set, wanted to grab 1 hehe

Really excited for this new collab earphonen with Elysian acoustic. The color combination is perfect and looks really dynamic like the flow of water. Water breathing.
