Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova
Oct 2, 2016 at 1:54 PM Post #2,971 of 9,829
If @WayneWoondirts is talking about what I think he's talking about, then yes it would be a new model but a headphone and not an IEM. It was over a year ago that I got a listen so I'm sure there's been a lot of development since then. As I'm sure you're all aware, Ken & Co. don't just release quickly for the sake of getting sales. They take their time and get things right.

Or maybe @WayneWoondirts is talking about something else entirely, and I just opened up a whole new can of worms...

 
well... I know that there will be some new IEMs too. Actually know a little more than just that. but it is not in my power to disclose that.
 
HFN knows too

  Sure.
 

 
Hey Guys,
 
We are working very hard on our CFA headphones, I want them to be awesome so have been fine tuning all aspects. I can say that sound wise we are very happy with the performance of the headphone and I think its going to go over very well. We also made some improvements on the comfort, cosmetic details and re made the headband. We are close! so stay tuned.
 
FYI Campfire and ALO will be skipping RMFA this year, sorry! We are very busy with the headphone, trying to catch up on orders and some other exciting stuff

 So in order to take care of these things and try and get orders out the door I felt it more important to take care of my existing customers and dealers than to go to another show. I apologize for not being at this years RMAF. However I will be in full force at the CanJam NYC show.
 
Me and the team here are so excited to release the CFA headphones, please stand by for further news soon.
 
Thanks
 
Ken

Ken, you are working hard on more than just headphones

For some who missed the announcement, ALO Audio collaborated with Westone on their new release of W80 model enhanced with Ken's new Reference 8 hybrid (SPC + pure copper) cable.  8-conductor premium material design which is thinner than some of the other 4-conductor cables, and with a BIG sound (that bass!!!).  I really hope this hybrid cable will be available for sale standalone, many people going to enjoy it!
 
Also, glad to hear you are gearing up for CanJam NYC, can't wait to meet you in person and also looking forward to check out other CA goodies!
 
Here is an eye-candy shots of Reference 8:

I'm sure Ken's new Reference 8 hybrid (SPC + pure copper) cable sounds/pairs well with his iem line. I hope that if it is released as a standalone purchase option that it has aluminum and not black plastic pieces in it.

Indeed, it does.  Excellent pair up synergy both in sound quality and connector mating (nice tight connection).  Andromeda already has a holographic soundstage, but wait till you try it with Ref 8

* as a disclaimer: yes, I removed memory wire, and no, it wasn't as easy -
if you decide to diy that with any ALO cables, you will void the warranty.

We are thrilled to be working with Westone on this, the ALO Ref 8 IEM cable is a perfect match with the new W80! Congratulation to the Westone team in the release of the W80 and for somehow cramming all the drivers into a ridiculously small envelop.
 
Yes we (ALO) will indeed be releasing the Ref 8 IEM cable as a stand alone cable and will come in MMCX as well as 2 pin (JH audio), then also terminated in 2.5mm balanced as well as 3.5mm SE versions. The ALO version will use a all clear over mold and a aluminum (silver) "Y" split part. I will post a thread with glam shots later this month.

Wow! Very impressed with the ALO/CAhappenings! Thank you for the updates, Ken.

I still use my Nova's daily. They are simply put, superb!

Ooh, I crave a Ref 8 2.5mm MMCX balanced cable for my Campfire Audio IEMs to use with the Opus#1 dap and my Mini-M8 (with adapter).

It's an awesome cable! Have been testing one with my K10's for a while now and it's great. Well done Ken. Cheers
