Is it just me or does the Andromeda V3 have a slightly darker shade of green for its shells?

I've never had an OG Andro on hand but that's my impression from pictures.

Not that easy for me—I don’t really like balanced output—which is something you really get nowhere else aside the audiophile community—and from my limited experience (Campfire Audio Cascade & Empire Ears Bravado): I prefer SE.

The extra separation and too much detail frankly piss me off and ruins my listening experience, it isn’t my music.

A well designed ear/headphone should work as intended regardless of the termination one uses. The baseline should be SE and if one fancies balanced output and what it brings—by all means.

So in that sense, getting a balanced cable for the Andromeda SEG in order to pair well with the ZX300 isn’t for what balanced can bring but just in order to overcome the ZX300 technical limitations in SE while taking the risk to add layers I not only don’t care for but genuinely don’t like (again, only based on the aforementioned, limited, experiences).

For the record, gotta admit, I just got a balanced cable for my Andromeda Special Edition: Gold and they're even better.

I switched from the ZX300 to A&K SR25 since then but the difference is noticeably appreciable and I like it. It isn't "in your face" as I feared it might be.

These are fakes, for sure!

Campfire is aware of this issue. They posted a warning against buying such items.

I dont know if you are stupid enough to think those are the real deal. You deserve a very well made knock off. Hope it sounds good. Lol.

Despite listening to pretty much all of Crin's S-tier list (just missing PP8 and Monarch), still think Andros are still one of the best.

Which ones of Crinacle's Ss would you recommend other than the Andros?

What are you looking for? Something similar or different?
