    Campfire Audio Trifecta

    I totally follow what you are putting down. If by 'speed' we're also pulling in decay +separation......than I don't disagree that Tricfecta isn't at its best reproducing layered+fast transient upper-mid/treble-dwelling passages. My intonation of 'speed' is a bit more caveman than that.....I...

    Campfire Audio Trifecta

    Checking back in...some great impressions (both ways) that were a nifty read. Rockwell75....glad you love these/got your hands on them! Thanks for the shout-out in your impressions/review thread. Most gear should have a mix of +/- takes.....and the feedback will get increasingly divergent...

    Here is a rainy AM cross-share on my Trifecta impressions. It was bought by me with my monies at full MSRP from the fine folks at Audio46 (awesome quick ship on this), from a long-ago pre-order wherest I believe I was high and enthralled with Trifecta's golden glitter... Further stuff n'...

    Campfire Audio Trifecta

    Thank you sir, I'll take the compliment for my humble and sometime sober rambles :upside_down: I'll post over in the WC to share an impression-point on a rare IEM....no where near the experienced IEM opinion-giver many are there.

    Campfire Audio Trifecta

    Further stuff n' things..... 25-30 hours in..... Source: N8ii Tips: CA Marshmallow (I like CA foam tips, don't usually swap in others early unless something sounds off/struggle for seal) Fit: Easy like Sunday morning. Medium-ish depth insert that goes in without much fuss.....very light and...

    Campfire Audio Trifecta

    I'm listening to some big-venue multi-synth Tangerine Dream 70's live roller and I couldn't imagine a more magic sound outside of being on all the best drugs at once. Agree on the above....and I want to be sure I'm highlighting in big neon caveats I'm sharing super-early impressions and more...

    Campfire Audio Trifecta

    Got em' a few hours ago. 180 minutes-in ultra-superficial early thoughts: The impressions shared from the show demo's broke down to basically: "I hate this"...."It's doing the thing but odd"......"I loooooove this". 5 minutes in-ear I understand. No one was wrong as defined by what's right...

    Ha, I wasn't exclusively thinking on the Trifecta.....but was glad to see you give a big thumbs up. Like the Storm it's got a lot of polar-opposite takes.....but I couldn't see Campfire/Ken Ball releasing a true dud. Over-priced comparatively ....yeah, I think that is the table stakes for...

    A big hat-tip to Can Jam travelers sharing their impressions. With a busy Quarter here at the day job I haven't had as much time to keep up with the latest audio drama......great to catch up on some of the latest/greatest. A lot of varied impressions on individual IEM's from experienced...

    It hasn't, got bumped to September a few weeks ago. Impressions have been very mixed for sure.....and very contradictory (great bass...muddy bass...W shaped...U shaped...V shaped...etc.). Kind of wet-blankety....but still looking forward to it. On the other hand the Storm also has gotten...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    For what it's worth, a couple of my ACE filters....including the black....were stuck together pretty good. Being so small, it can both look and feel like one piece.....for a second I wondered the same thing. I ended up gripping the base very gently with a small, cloth covered pair of...

    Schiit Folkvangr - Impressions Thread

    This is simply a few follow-up Folkvangr thoughts, maybe as a data-point for newbies. Just one person's take as a data-point....not an argument or counter to any prior impressions: For what's it's worth, for tube newbies who picked up Folkvangr, I would make a humble plea that this is not a...

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    Thanks gents. I'm able to pop the top and swap the hardware cards no issue. I actually re-poped the top off so I could visually confirm the SD card was seated fully in the little reader slot. No dice when turning on (in terms of getting the BF2 to pick up the firmware). Ordered a cheap card...

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    So.....I'm very sad to be this guy......but does the card Schiit sends have the firmware loaded, or is it just a blank card you need to load? I assumed the firmware was pre-loaded, but cannot get my BF2 to interact with that card at all. Swapped back the old AD internal and worked...

    I laughed at that as I had the same reaction. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Supermoon seemed to be perceived in a couple places...and then read CFA's stead-fast "CIEM only" reaction. As you say....at the least that is a pretty authentic CFA kinda' deal.
