Did some cable rollin' today...

Cable Rollin'.jpg


Ares S on the Onyx, Cadmus on the Axiom & I moved the EVO 10 to the good ol' (10BA) Solar
Great synergy in all 3 cases => it seems you just can't go wrong (synergy wise) with these imo fantastic cables :)

Just curious if there's any comment on EVO 10?
What would you like to know exactly? I think there's a lot of useful information in this Tw6 review.

Hey everyone, long term lurker of head-fi here, but this may be my very first post. I was wondering whether any of you have experience ordering a refurbished cable from EA? The refurbished Horus/Leonidas ii and Horus/Cleopatra seem like good deals, and they are both listed as "grade A" whereas some of their other listings of refurbished cables, like the 4w Horus, include a Grade B. Should a Grade A refurb be effectively the same as a new cable? Thanks.

I'd assume so, though it should really be spelled out on the site what the grading means. Also FYI you can find cheaper deals via the classifieds.

The cable in the picture is a refurbished cable of a used Mars 4-wire, bespoke with new Cadmus 4-wire. The entire cable looks like new and the braiding is tight with new Y split and 2-pin termination and new plastic sleeves for the ear hook. When EA saids it is grade A. It is as good as new. Really high quality.

Cool! Thanks for the link!

Just thought the name interesting as it's the same as Mitsubishi EVO X haha

I'm actually curious about the mids improvement of this cable, as indicated in product intro., it seems the Evo X is based on gold plated copper, would it makes vocals sweet and warm?

Killer Combo, it inspires me to create more interesting matching among SS series, has been exploring the possibilities of Ares S + ??? lately, lets see if magic happens:)

Copper cable tends to sounds warmer, with the addition of Gold Plated makes EVO mids much more engaging(sweet vocal), at the same time makes bass more punchier and treble smoother compare to the pure copper material.

From my understanding the ConX 2 pin will sit higher than the PW 2 pin that the mest mk2 came with? Just want to know about robustness if that makes sense?
This is a pic my mest mkii with Cadmus cable. The fit is secure, the pins are a little thicker and longer than stock cable but overall it's a good fit.

Ares S has finally landed, really nice and smooth and very detail for a copper cable. It could be a really good all rounder cable.
Wow such a nice looking cable, I ordered mine on the 12th cant wait to get it, Roughly how long did it take for your to order -> receive your cable roughly?

I purchased mine directly from local dealer. EA should be sending them out in no time as the lead times should be really quick.

Guess many of you has been enjoying the #GreatnessofSS for quite sometime, sorry for those who ordered in the first batch that has been waiting for long time!!!

Signature Series has finally came to the stage that have stable supply and so I have some time to explore something crazy based on current design.

We will be releasing a very limited run for a Crazy project on Monday, please save the date and hopefully you will love what I have created for you!!!
