Has anyone seen the new Solaris? Haven't caught up with this in a while, are there any new features to it? Don't think the nozzle changed, so I 't think comfort will be the same compared to the original Solaris.

Well I just impulsively bought those Solaris, will report soon!
That was a quick decision!
Please do give us your thoughts soon. I love my Solaris but the fit sometimes bugs me. If there's not a massively noticeable difference between the two then I might not drop 2000 on these...

Yeah, just saw that! Curious to get the scoop on any sonic differences between "artist fit" (deeper insertion) and "audiophile fit" (shallow insertion; previously the only option for Equinox).
I asked Campfire about stem length @ CanJam SoCal--I have Noble K10 customs with a deep stem and love the isolation and secure fit, and I was concerned about fit and isolation of Equinox. They said the shorter stem length is better for preserving high frequencies. But that was re: Equinox, and it was before I had my own Campfires + familiarity with their sound signatures. Not sure if BAs make a difference or if they might do any in-house tuning to compensate for stem-length (they are custom, after all).
Anyway, that's not much to go on, but it's as much as I (think I) know for now. They've got my attention--now which fit to choose?

I missed the Andromeda Gold and I really liked them, I also hated the fit of the Solaris, but we’ll see. I mean they look so cool! I’ll let everyone know how they stack up.

just spoke with Campfire, the Solaris Special Edition has the same fit as the og Solaris which is a bummer

Does anyone know if Andromeda MW10 will be sold in the USA? It wasn’t announced today, so maybe not...

Balanced 3.5 mm isn't a good choice and is very risky. If anyone plugs an unbalanced 3.5mm cable into a balanced 3.5mm output (which is extremely likely) they can destroy one or both devices.

I suspect he meant balanced *or* 3.5 (single-ended).
I wonder the same. I have balanced DAPs, but haven't run such a sensitive IEM balanced. I wonder about the hiss...

I have the an AK380 that I only listen to the Golds through the balanced 2.5 connection - it is dead silent.
