Reply to review by 'nehcrow' on item 'Campfire Audio Andromeda'
First off great review mate! Have you tried the Andromeda out of an iPhone? Output impedance significantly affects the tonal balance of these in-ears. With DAPs closer to zero output impedance, this IEM sounds darker/rolled off whilst DAPs with 2-3 ohms OI (iPhone) will even out the Andromeda...- nehcrow

Fender IEM (Aurisonics) Impressions, Reviews & Discussions Thread
I've sent my Rockets in for repair about 2 months ago, emailed Andy about a month ago now and still haven't heard back from him. A little disappointing :( I could use some IEMs right about now haha- nehcrow

Focal Elear and Utopia Review / Preview With Measurements - Head-Fi TV
Definitely not justifying it's $4k price. Beryllium is found in cheaper Xiaomi models, so any claims of 'rare metal' used in drivers is twisting the truth. Obviously it's rarer + pricier than common materials used but in this day and age, it's not difficult to acquire R&D is a cost every audio...- nehcrow

Music sounds *a lot* better from my internal hard drive than my external hard drive array!
Didn't mean to offend, but how much of a difference can a different HDD make? We are talking about digital copies of a file, literally 1s and 0s - there's no conversion from digital to analog signals it's just a matter of transposing the bits in the right order. Also if it was a...- nehcrow

This is the placebo effect or otherwise a noisy HDD/bad USB cable/low power flow. Most likely the placebo effect. You are definitely not going to hear such minute differences in audio (even if there was a diff) with your setup either. You'll also be surprised how powerful the placebo effect is...- nehcrow

Fender IEM (Aurisonics) Impressions, Reviews & Discussions Thread
Owned them for under a month previously, had a great time with them and they far and away one of the best IEM's I've heard (this is coming from demoing TOTL IEMs like W60, SE846, ASG-2, ASG-2.5, K3003...) at that price they are ridiculously good value. In summary, based off memory: Near...- nehcrow

Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread
If you click 62 sold, you'll see that most bought at around $36 USD A few poor people bought them at $89 USD :( No one will ever buy it at $888 USD, it's a placeholder price so he won't lose his listing position on eBay- nehcrow
