Hello, Ken? I would like to know about Andromeda's impedance plot. The reason is that I need to select proper amp/player with low enough output impedance. Andromeda has impedance of 12.8 ohms at 1 kHz. How low does it go down?

numbers are just a guideline but what you hear will be totally different. synergy is important and it is nt based on numbers hehe

The 2.5mm cable with the Jupiter is pretty much a give away with the Jupiter, we are planning to phase this out. Many people do not use it honestly so in many cases its not needed. We will continue to support the 2.5mm balanced cables and carry them. However the 2.5mm balanced cable will not be included with the IEMs.

Thank you

ken

Ah I see, thanks for the reply Ken. Just wondering what output you would recommend with the CDM for best sound quality then with the Andromeda? You guys have nice cables so if necessary I'll just pick up a custom 2.5mm one

Impedance spread on the Andromeda is 10ohm - 32ohm
 
Cheers

How does it compare to the Shure 846? Would anybody be able to comment? Thanks in advance!

You my ear?

Better in every way. Then again, I never much cared too much for how they sounded

Sorry guys, I've never been to summit-fi, and I've noticed that wording gets a bit different from mid-fi so please bear with me. The Andromeda has equal parts bass as mids which both are excellently produced. However, while not veiled, attention is focused onto the upper mids and treble which aren't harsh or sibilant at all. Being only from mid-fi, I've never encountered high treble energy iems that weren't harsh and sibilant, so descriptions of the Jupiter seem alien to me. All the sentences, besides the one before this, were referring to the Andromeda.

You really have to listen to it in order to feel it. The way how Andromeda handles treble is what amazed me the most. I hate hash treble period, but I also don't like flat or dull treble either. Andromeda really found a perfect point to make it sparkle but not piercing, extended but not harsh, open but not bright.

Do you feel that bass is not to par in terms of quantity, or there is enough of it?

Bass is definitely enough and feels balanced with the treble. The sound is not tilting towards either end, just more of everything.

Btw, the green looks very good in person. The finish is Apple like.

You know what, SE846 has impedance of 9 at 1 kHz. But it goes down to as low as 5. That means you need an amplifier with output impedance of 0.5 and below in order to keep the interaction between the amp and driver below an audible level. Most smarphones' output impedances are higher than 1. They surely will change the frequency response of SE846s.

I think from what Ken said, it seems like it would, just that the 2.5 cable would be the old tinsel cable instead of the new litz cable

my understanding of what Ken said is that there will not be 2.5mm balanced cable bundled anymore. Moving forward (Andromeda and Nova included), the IEMs would only come with a single Litz 3.5mm single-ended cable.

Somebody needs to reply to the several inquiries about what the Nova sounds like. There is absolutely no info or talk about the Nova. Need some sound bytes.
 
Also if Ken could confirm if the housing is smaller on the Nova than the Andromeda or the Jupiter. Is it the same size as the Orion?

They are all of the same size from the orion up to the andromeda

Give it a few more weeks. The first few owners and reviewers should be able to provide first impressions by then.
