A beautiful cable with a beautiful sound (paired up with beautiful IEMs ). Well, you get the point. My EA Cleopatra II Octa review is up!

I've also found the splitters on any 8w cables to be tight, though I've only owned two so far. My Leo II 8W is really tight and so is my Bespoke Code 51/ Chiron, that's even using the Chrion splitter.

After more than a month of continuous serious listening, Gaea have completely open up to a new level. It has a really wide sound stage, dynamic and punchy bass, really adictive and liquid vocals. Gives it more juice and power it even has the potential to scale up. You could really make it reach another level with portable amps.

Did I mention that the color combo is extremely eye catching with the Hiby RS8 case. Wink

Excellent review too bad you couldn't have compared the 4 wire Cleopatra 2 to the 8 wire. The 4 wire Cleo 2 version is my favorite cable, but the 8 wire does sound tempting.
Still hard to believe it’s a silver cable, it has convinced me whole notion that certain material sounds a specific way. Did you happen to test it out on the Mest MKII? I‘m using my Cleo 2 with Mest Indigo so curious to hear how it sounds to you with the Mest MKII.

Woah, what an unboxing for the Chamber carrying case. Thanks Jordon and EA for providing me the case for review!


The box measures about 2 cables height (with the cable case, cables sold separately)

Velcro friendly fabric everywhere. And as a hobbyist bag maker myself, I recognize these buckles and all plastic hardwares should be made by Dura-flex which I personally have loads of their products for bag making.

Very nice padded handle.



Updated number of snap buttons.

Guess I will share my real-life experience with the case later! Cheers!

So i just found my empire ears merlins again lol (idk why i always forget where i put the case). Hooked it up to the cadmus and slapped some type e tips. Im impressed at how cadmus made the vocals sound. It doesn't have as much ba timbre plus it made the vocals a bit revealing (something thats hard for me to say on a 2017 iem)! Its not the same smooth sound i got with its stock effect audio rowan but this is a very much welcome change! Thor 2 will be back in my drawer along with my other cables. Cadmus will be accompanying the merlins until i find something better.

Can anyone speak to the ergonomics of the Effect cables? Hoping for a very soft, pliable IEM cable. It’s been my biggest complaint about the IEM cables I’ve owned so far, regardless of how attractive or well made, they tend to either be too hefty or they don’t have the soft, supple, easy to twist and bend nature that never holds a shape or gets easily tangled.

The Eros looks right up my alley, and the price is absolutely right, just hoping to find that one particular characteristic in an IEM cable.

I had one of their previous cables 3 years back and its was indeed stiffer than what they have now. I've got their signature Cadmus cables and its very soft and ergonomic now, no issues at all

Between eros, and cadmus. Eros s proves to be the more softer and supple, better fit too (albiet a bit too loose in the braid). My issue with cadmus lies in its earguide shape. I (along with a friend) have the same issue where the cable often gets undone and gets removed from the ear of which i find funny since ive never had this issue with their previous releases. Ares, thor, even rowan all had a very agreeable earguide shape. Same with lionheart, leonidas and janus d (janus d having the best shape despite how thick the cable is). Other than that, i dont have any gripes with the new line ups! By far the best price to performance ratio that ive ever owned from effect.

Great looking cable UM been on a roll producing some excellent cables this year. Curious what this cable is and where it fit in the lineup.

Edit meant to say EA not UM opps.

 

[Mangodango369]

Woah exciting stuff, must be something to do with the secret santa stuff going on

Very interested by the sound differences, if they exists, between these two versions of the same cable.

And more important : it really scales or not (no just different) ?

Myself at this moment I am thinking about that... Because of some recent experiences... but with cables of different brands and composition...

So, very interested.
