Not really, i prefer coherency, i will stick to an iems longer than any other device like phone etc so i want my iems sound good on any device. Like audio64 did with tia driver. Consistency.

Tia driver is a roofless BA driver.

The crossover-less design makes me leery. Adding the additional bass drivers and tweaking the treble driver would likely be safe - but removing the crossover, who knows how it will sound compared to the Andromeda.

Only making 1000 makes it more of a gamble for consumers; by the time any professional reviews start rolling in, they'll likely be sold out. But it seems like a good strategy for CA; they'll probably sell out before the hype train leaves the station, with little risk of bad reviews of impacting sales by then.

The FR looks like an Andro tuned to be closer to Harman in overall tonal balance. Big difference is the warmer mids. It doesn't look like there will be coherency issues like in the Tia Fourte.

I have both the Andromeda v3 and Andromeda S at the moment. The Andromeda S was a demo set with reduced price from the local vendor so I bit the bullet. To me, the Andro S was exceptional in vocal music as the vocals are much more forward. However, I was looking for a set as the Jack of All trades type.... The new Andromeda Gold seems to be able to fill that niche.....

Looking forward to trying it out. I also have the Audiosense T800 which was very close to the Harman curve and I find those very capable and pleasing to the extend that I use the T800 much more than both of my Andro........ Maybe I should sell both my Andro v.3 and Andro S, buy the Andro Gold and call it a day.......

Are you sure about the recessed vocals?

I have the v3, and if anything, the mids sounds a tad lifted and vocals are quite present and not recessed at all. If anything, the bass sits a bit further back.

The recessed mids depends on the source, directly from an Iphone or an AK380 i feel the mids a bit recessed, this doesn’t happened with the sources i mention before, and of course it’s no a problem with the Andromeda S

I’d like to to see IER M9 vs Andro Gold

The 64 Audio technology that allows the same sound signature of an IEM coming from any source is the LID technology (tia Trio and U12t are the universal exponents of this tech).
The TIA technology only allows better reproduction of the high frecuencies

Here, I fixed the matching on the comparison graph for the Andromeda SE/Andro.



Rougher treble and sucked out middle midrange. Less high treble.

Calling these measurements an improvement would be a pretty big stretch imo.

don’t touch that midrange.

I need to see graphs from other rigs. Jude's graphs look odd to me. It's like he's purposefully smoothing it out.

The measurement setups we have here have been posted about in detail many times. You can find out more by clicking here, including a short video showing how we measure (though the process is a little different now, so we may do another short video about the updated steps, and also to mention the addition of another headphone measurement amplifier custom-built for us by the team at THX).

We generally use 1/12-octave smoothing, but here's the frequency response smoothed and without smoothing, respectively:

FR looks like Andromeda and IER-Z1R got together one night and had a little too much wine.

It would be really interesting to see an overly with these 3 IEMs.

I clicked.

I have checked it out before briefly.

It looks like an excellent be all and end all comprehensive testing rig.

*it would be good to see an overlay of the Andro Gold, Vega, Atlas and Solaris.

So, does that no crossover helps saperate the frequencies even better? So no more upper bass low mids bleeds anymore?

 

[leaky74]

So here you are, the Andromeda Gold Special Edition in Hong Kong. Impression: retain the sweetness I like with the vocals of the original but add a lot of hard-slamming bass.

Is it still a fast decay on the bass? That’s the one very minor gripe I had with the Andros.
