I’m still here :)

Having listened to all the tunings (you can read my impressions if you search in this thread, I did a side by side comparison), I would say just stick with the MW10. Probably the best tuning, and ppl who have heard all of them such as @ExpatinJapan @audio123 and @KuroKitsu might agree :)

CFA stuff generally sound pretty good with the stock cable.

You probably won’t be disappointed. Comparing to v3, they cleaned up the lower mids a bit, a raised a bit of the mid/upper range, kept the sparkle and actually has more sub-bass. Compared to 2020, they have the added sparkle and more sub-bass.

:laughing:

Once you listen, you won’t let go. I’ve listened to quite a bit in my Top 10 list and it’s easily a keeper for enjoyment, SQ and fit. Just a really solid tuning.

Excited @Rockwell75 will be joining the MW10 gang :)

Actually already heard this combo quite a few months back. Full impressions comparing each tuning posted somewhere in this thread :D

Nice ;)

Similar to my observations and I've heard quite a bit to date (check my Top 10 link). The sub-bass has a lot of authority without bleeding or overshadowing the midrange, which as you mentioned, as an ever slight upper midrange tilt for a bit of zing. Typical Andromeda sparkle w/ the mid-treble...

@Damz87 any impression updates?

Wore the VE8 for hours without any discomfort despite the lack of “APEX” system. Amazing IEM.

Welcome to the club! Having tried all Andromeda sound tuning variants, MW10 is probably my favourite. Just has amazing sub-bass, the famous Andro sparkle and very forward and lifted mids which sound particularly amazing with female vocals. Extremely dynamic and great separation and detail too...

Still have yet to find a sound signature that’s similar.

I think the Andromedas are pretty much the best value buy in its price bracket, let's say USD1000-1500. If you're willing to shell almost double the price (USD2000 vs. USD1100), I find the U12T a suitable improvement with more extended and defined treble and a more DD sounding bass with good...

Having the ZX2 for quite sometime now, and comparing to the 1A, 1Z, ZX300 and some other DAPs I've tried before (SP2000, LP6K, SR15, Kann Cube, etc.)... I truly think the ZX2 can hold its own despite being five years old. The sound is highly detailed, captivating and pretty addicting. It gives...

MW10 / U12T.

Same conclusion I have, imo, Trio is not very far behind.

Also their customer service was top notch as I remember it back then. My ER4XR was DOA and they fixed the issue and shipped back in a week...to Canada.

Got mine like 3 yrs before the acquisition and Made in USA.

Honestly, I just pair wy Trio w/ a warm source (ex: ZX300) and a SPC cable and they sound fine.

Timbre...probably Hidition Viento by far for vocals. I like VE8 as well. Sony M9 mentioned above is good too.

Having listened to LX and Trio: LX - wider stage Trio - more depth, extended highs, less muddy bass (especially mid-bass). APEX. I think Trio is overall better than the LX. It has hyper clarity combined with a very engaging sound signature, which is a rare combination. But LX is no slouch...

Either of OG v2 or v3. v3 has slightly more forward vocals though (making it slight W shape ish) vs. v2 is more V-shaped.

Still the widest soundstage I've heard in any IEM, width wise. Depth, maybe Odin and VE8. Height...probably LCDi4.
