    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    Bumping this thread for a few positive comments about a non-Andromeda Andromeda, the Andromeda S, which I purchased direct from Campfire Audio-their second hand market site-perhaps about three years ago. I love it and have an emotional connection to it-a sad family loss that I cannot ever...

    Campfire Audio IO

    I understand the IO is not an "all rounder" for most standards. I just like all sorts of stuff-as a violinist, know what "natural" sounds like, and love my HD600s, but I have allowed myself to enjoy many "unnatural" frequency responses as well! Sorry for missing out the part you came to hate the...

    Campfire Audio IO

    I have and love the Atlas. Both very different and viable. They both do treble well, but very differently. Atlas, IMHO, should have never gone out of retail production (I think Drop still sells them), it is too good at its specialty, and I'm not certain it has been properly replaced from what I...

    Campfire Audio IO

    I find them fun to listen to, even if do not use them all the time-but that can be said as well of *many* "better tuned" headphones and earphones I have. I do use them more than some that I possess that are more "normal." It honestly doesn't matter how others hear stuff-worry about your own...

    A little about the Campfire Audio Jupiter

    I still love them! Nothing in my collection has their sound-which "purists" may criticize, as the pulled-back upper mids is noticeable-and love the treble extension. Cable story-I have tried the Effect Audio Grandioso, Ares II, and Cadmus with these. For a long time used Grandioso, but the...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    For some reason, some audiophiles believe that musicians have poor headphone/earphones taste. Others also seem to think they know the instruments we play better than ourselves. Fact is that we all like what we like, and that is fine. I know which headphones sound life-like (indeed the HD600 has...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Mr. Jason, I cannot find the Astell&Kern link regarding their battery replacement process. I may have read it before. Perhaps Google is supplying me with the wrong links, "enhanced" by poor AI implementation. I do think that at least what appears to be the official website leaves much to be...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    How much is the out of warranty battery replacement? Unbeknownst to me-as I rarely took it out of its leather case-my OG SR25 was developing a battery bulge, and last time I did take the case off, it was fine. Only realized the issue when it shut off. Was able to turn it on after a while, and...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    Atlas: still sound amazing, and still no "driver flex"-whatever that means. I am no noob to IEMs, and still do not get that. AZLA Crystal and Spiral Dot++ are my choice for tips for these exciting IEMs (relatively shallow insertion depth-though always an individual choice, to be sure.) Highly...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    It is impossible to find the results for my question due to too many false results, so if this has been asked, my apologies. Where are the APK files downloaded by the "Download" option to update apps? They cannot be read, if found on the Download folder of the Service folder. Indeed I cannot...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    Definitely nothing to dislike about them. They are not even super bassy to the point it overwhelms everything. It is "exciting" and "fun" without altering the original song/piece much. Just enhances it, if anything. Yes it is a "big" sound, but very tastefully done. And again, the treble is...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    These Atlas are such excellent IEMs. Discovered them last Saturday-purchased because the price was so good, new. The treble extension is truly special, combined with everything else. I do not seem to know what driver flex is after many, many years using headphones and earphones. Never seems to...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Have been enjoying my F7200 since acquiring them late June. Indeed even more so than my first time with them years ago! Find their unique yet also familiar signature quite refreshing. Crystal tips "MS" size, deep to medium deep insertion, all sounds awesome. Using none of the included filters...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Mr. Fawkes, My apologies, didn't notice your question until today. With my first pair (the ones I lost), indeed I had trouble, and had to be careful cleaning them. My first model did not have the filters, and I used their sticky sticks solution they included in the box (which are finite-it's...
