Hello everybody, Fairly new to the hobby and have figured out that so far, out of the IEMs I own, I like the sound signature of my Andromeda 2020 over my other IEMs that are more praised by the public. For reference, I turn to the Andromedas more often over Anole VX, IER-Z1R, and Monarch mkii...- ciscokid96
