Is it worth waiting to see if they are releasing another special edition with CK finish or just jump right in now? I know they also extended the nozzle for the CK Pacific Blue so...

They extended the nozzle on the Andromeda Blue? I didn't realize that.
Yup, hence why I'm waiting for another special edition and I think it's also hand polished.

That is cool. How did you find that out about the extended nozzle?

The standard green andromedas also have the extended nozzles too. I just bought a pair last week.
I've here the LG V30 which I compared to my iPhone X with the Campfire Audio Andromeda (+ cable Reference 8).
I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed about the sound quality of the LG V30: it sounds almost the same as – or just a (very) little bit better than the iPhone!?
I would say that maybe I prefer the iPhone because (because of the IEM?) it seems to sound with more "air". Is this… possible?!

If that’s the case I might just order a pair sooner!

What's the advantage of the extended nozzles? Is it comfort or SQ?

I got mine a while ago. Really wished mine had the extended nozzle. However the nozzle from the Polaris is my favourite.
So I assume it's version 1 rather than version 2?

What do you mean by Version 2. Other than the special editions. I believe the changes to the original Andromeda was the addition of some facets to the shell to make it more comfortable for some and new screws quite a while ago as well as the longer nozzle recently.
If anyone has both an Ear Buddy/iEMatch and a 20 ohm impedance adapter, could you try using them together?
The UE Buffer Jack narrows the soundstage and makes the audio sound dry to me when used alone, but I've noticed that when I add the 20 ohm adapter between my sources and the Buffer Jack, it restores the treble air. I'm unsure whether this is because the Buffer Jack is meant to be used with higher-impedance sources or because the adapter happens to interact with the Buffer Jack in a way that sounds pleasing to my ears, and I'd llke to know how the adapter interacts with other voltage splitters.

iphone x doesn't have a headphone jack. do you mean you're using the dongle?
i'm using an iphone x and have tried the dongle, chord mojo, and dragonfly red and found that i like the dongle the most.
