The Ode to Laura cable enhances all details. Laura gave everyone in the scene more space to walk through, more air around each instrument and better highlighting of each note. At first it felt like I was closer to the music and looking at the performers with a clearer vision. With Laura in the chain the room stretched noticeably in all dimensions while adding more details and space to it. The very first thing that sprung at me when I hooked up my OtL and listened was the expansive 3D-soundstage. I have been test-running it with my FIR Radon 6, Krypton 5, my 64 Audio A18s, U4s and Tia Fourté Noir as well as some other monitors at my disposal. I have been playing with my Ode to Laura for the better part of three months now, and during that time I have gotten to know her rather well. Of course there’s a lot more options for your different needs. Mine is a standard 2-pin to 4.4mm balanced cable. You can customize the Ode to Laura to your needs. Other than that coin you’ll also get a Pentaconn x Eletech slider, a cable binder, a leather box and some promotional material. Personally, I think the coin is a fun addition to the experience.

It doesn’t have any use and won’t get you access to anything other than a supremely elitist club of owners who could potentially trade their goodies with each other. In each Laura box you’ll find a collector’s metal coin.

It feels a bit of an overkill for “just a cable”, but I guess, this isn’t what Laura is to Eletech and its many customers. Ode to Laura comes in a very solid and special box. The higher the conducting area, the better. But in the end it’s also the size that matters. And with that in mind, it is also less flexible than any 26 AWG cable out there. The 22 AWG size of the cables itself can definitely be felt, as the cable is thicker than most. I really like their design and feel, which is premium, as it should be at that price point. The plug, split and connector housing are all made of black brushed aluminum and to me give a very noble look. When I first saw them, it was clear to me, that Eric and his team must’ve driven the CNC company crazy untill they finally got it right. The amount of detail in the Y-split is just sick. It uses a triple bespoke premium OCC copper blend in a quadruple stranding design.Īll of Eletech’s hardware is custom built to their specs, and when you look at the plug ad splitter, you’ll immediately know, that their specs are insanely high. As previously mentioned, it’s an all copper cable. Ode to Laura is a hefty 22 AWG design in a four-wire configuration. Eletech did just that, which might have raised a few eyebrows at first, but since its launch it has convinced many customers with its distinct sound. There’s only a hand-full of manufacturers that go all the way with copper cables and design their flagships as such. The Ode to Laura is Eletech’s co-flagship cable. Whenever you’re after one of their cases, better be quick!

Their leather cases are so sought after, that they are pretty much sold out within hours of their release. For headphone users there’s the Dante series, which right now has two products in it.Īpart from cables, Eletech also offers leather accessories and interconnects and newly also Eartips. Then there’s the Paranassus series, which goes all the way for audiophiles with big pockets, in which we can find today’s guest of honor – the Ode to Laura, as well as the new Sonnet of Adam (review incoming). Their School of Athens Series is their mid-range cable series for customers who have a bit more to spend and are looking for unique signatures. The Azrael, Cassiel and Raphael can be found in this series. The Virtues Series holds their entry-level products, which cater to first-time users as well and customers looking for bang for buck offers. I have been handling their new products for a few weeks now, and the plugs, connectors and splitter are really good and well made.Įletech’s porftolio of cables is discerned into four different series. Their goal is to offer high performance cables at a reasonable price and provide hardware that meets their own (quite high) standards. Eletech has been co-founded by Eric Chong (previously with Effect Audio) who is very well known around our corners. EletechĮlement Technology (aka Eletech) is a Singaporean boutique cable manufacturer that we have featured on Headfonia a couple of times already. We thank Eric and the team of Eletech for their support and trust. This is Eletech’s all copper co-flagship cable going for $2,799 USD.ĭisclaimer: Eletech supplied the Ode to Laura for this review and our honest opinion. In this review we check out the Eletech Ode to Laura.
