Well, channel matching has never been an issue with CA IEMs. I don’t know if that graph is super appealing to me however...

Seems like Campfire forgot to compensate for the pinnae once again.

Well, I see no point of "upgrading". If you want more best bass slam then the standard Andromeda, just use the Focal Stellia.

By the way, I had no idea there were so many versions of the Andromeda out there until I started reading this thread?

There’s the V1, V2, V3 (and a V1.5?), along with the differently tuned S and SE versions.

Color wise... I think there’s the green, pacific blue, snow white, iceberg, nickel, and brass for the original Andromeda.

How does the andromeda gold compare to the andromeda S limited run?

Clearly Campfire wants to capitalize on the success of the original.

Personally I don’t think the original Andromeda can be improved upon. But as always, taste may vary.

Graph-wise, it looks like Campfire’s taking the Andromeda in the opposite direction. More V-shaped, less mids.

Just like headphones..... IEM's are just a preference thing depending on your mood.

My Andromeda V1 are 14mths old and there's how many versions????? LOL!! My Solaris fits me perfectly so I'm pleased with the two Campfire's I own.

I'll be honest and say I prefer my Solaris by a large margin. But like anything it's a matter of preference. However so far I'm extremely pleased in the bump in sonic performance testing the Andromeda's with the A&K Cube. Instead of selling my Andromeda's and taking a 600+ dollar CDN hit/ loss selling my pre owned andromeda's I'll renew it's life by spending more money on a "better" dap. After listening to the Cube with Andromeda's I cannot use my green buds on my A&K Norma. The balanced cable with Andromeda really does sound much better with the Cube. However my Solaris/Norma combo still sounds much better than my Andromeda's on the Cube.

Thankfully my IEM sickness is the cheaper of my hobbies

The have zero interest in the "new" anodized Limited edition Andromeda's. I'll wait for the next flagship after the Solaris......

I won't be buying the Andromeda gold that is for sure. It has the typical Ken Ball Tax of $300 (approx. here in this country) over the standard Andros for only a tiny lift in the bass that my eq can do for free! I was expecting better sub-bass but I guess its just a BA design afterall.

Well the nice thing w/ CA is they offer a 2 week full refund period so you can always find out for yourself. Most companies have a restock fee.

I do my fair bit of CA bashing (which I believe to be justified), but complaining about price is not part of it. CA is still one of the most reasonably priced up-and-coming western brands.

Yeah, their high-end pricing, build quality, customer service, and return policy are all pretty top-notch.

+1, come on guys. Especially the B-stock stuff.

 

[kdphan]

Can't complain about CA prices when there are a few other companies offering $3500 IEMs

I don't agree with calling this an andromeda, it should have it's own name, because it has a different sound. I feel like this was done to maximise on the andromedas popularity.
