....Maybe too early for me to call it... but the Andromeda seems to be in the running for the best all-BA IEM I've heard.
No kidding.

So far, I've been able to resist joining the Massdrop Two Hundred despite the Nova's beauty and apparent euphony. I'm trying my hardest not to succumb to YMBFEBOPSS (Yak Mesmerized by Faceted Ear Bauble on Pearlescent String Syndrome).
I like the Orion, but for those who already tried both Orion and Nova, will I notice a performance upgrade in Nova? There are tracks I wish Orion has more lows though..
..I'm really tempted with the Massdrop offer
Is that the same yak in both pics? He must have a great agent!

Sorry for a potentially stupid question, but...
Are the Novas leaps and bounds ahead of IEMs such as the Westone UM Pro 30s, PSB M4U-4s and RHA T20s? The normal price is quite a bit higher but if I got the Novas through the Massdrop offer then they'd be about the same. I love the design and philosophy surrounding Campfire Audio but there's very limited impressions of the Novas (obviously) and I don't want to buy just on blind faith.
Again, sorry if this question seems ignorant.
I can't say there's more low end, but Nova did sound punchier than Orion during my quick test drive.
You gave quite the glowing review of the FLC8S. Would you care to comment about how the Nova (or even Andromeda) might compare? (At the Massdrop price, the FLC8S and Nova price is similar).
Hmm... Not sure I can adequately answer that question. I'd loaned the HEM lineup to a buddy (shh... it's our secret )and hadn't heard them for a couple weeks at the time I auditioned the CFA lineup.. As such, I'm not going to trust my auditory memory on this one. Sorry. At least I'm honest about it, right?
