I always wanted CIEM with Andromeda's sound. Now that dream has come true
I took the memory wire out of my ALO Audio SXC-8 cable (thanks lookout57 for instructions)
Now it sits across my ears very well with the Andromeda.
SXC 8 is even better as it improves the bass and details.
I'd assume it helps reduce wear and tear - like an added strain relief.
What are the advantages of memory wire?
+1!I 100% prefer the shrink memory sleeve from my Effect Audio cable over any memory wire cable
You mean that the 2pin connector is bulky? Fortunately, it's a perfect match with CA IEMs though.

I absolutely hate them and manufacturers across all price points seem to like to add them.
Nope, it is the sharp edges near the connector. With the U4SE, the connector sits near my ear and sometimes the sharp edge presses onto it.
Those Andromedas look very beautiful. I have tried CA's BA IEMs but the design (edges) looks uncomfortable. I tried the Nova and Polaris a couple of weeks ago and recently Jupiter. In the end I picked the CA's DD line up because they are relatively smaller and more comfortable.
Jae, nice to see you again, here’s a picture of mine and they are about a year old now. Aluminium can be polished and it will look very much like polished stainless steel. Read somewhere hear the newer models are using stainless. Nice looking guitar you have there, looks like a Taylor
Does this look like aluminum or stainless steel?
I don't have any older models to compare to. This is the 2018 Orion model I received in Janurary. The cerakote is kind of wearing off from taking it through outdoors environment in multiple climates.
