The nozzle definitely looks like solaris. No more 3 tubes.

also it sticks out a lot more so the fit won't be the same. I find the Andro fits nicely within the shape of my ears while this one will sit a couple mm out.
Andromeda fan here
Untill now i’m not dissaponted by any Andromeda...
But this thing of all new Cross-Over-less design it worries me...
Some explanation about that?
What about the coherence in this design?

The black Andro is:
- 3 dB more sensitive than the Green
- 6 Ohm lower impedance
Depending also on the impedance curve, good luck finding a good player to match it with. sss-sss-sss
Aesthetically, I would've preferred they keep the spout shinny steel, without the black PVD.
I'm about to put my Andro S up for sale, so it's in my best interest to focus on the negatives and slow down the hype train for this new one.

All my DAPs are A&K, so i have no worries about hiss...
But some graphs would’t hurt...
just direct to my s10plus, the andro is dead silent beating M11, ES100, xCAN, so farThe black Andro is:

116dB @ 7 Ohms! Has there been other IEMs with such specs?
that makes it even harder to find a good synergy since any OI difference will change the sound...
With the specs, hopefully we get a perfect damping factor for the bass tuning of this with <1 ohm OI source. Hopefully those two extra BA are tuned in line more with Solaris to provide that DD subbass body/reverb like from Solaris out of BA drivers rather than boost the whole bass response up without compromising coherency

Maybe because CA’s recent track record with new IEMs isn’t great, and because Andromeda has the least tarnished reputation of their existing models.
Also, they have a proven track record with modified Andromedas in the Andromeda S, and marketing-wise, calling this IEM “Andro with bass”, if it’s actually the case and not just a Solaris redux, would fall in line with what a lot of consumers have asked for.
That's actually a really good question as with two extra drivers it isn't really the same IEM anymore.

I guess it’s technically the Andromeda SE? Lime Ears did a similar thing going from their Aether to Aether R (added an extra bass BA).
Andromeda has strong name recognition. It will sell better calling it an Andromeda.
Argh, I'm still holding out hope that @KB is working on a custom version of Solaris, since I loved its sound, but had to sell it due to fit issues; I know many others agree. But this new SE Gold Andromeda is just so tempting....
