I looked at making up those tips and if I recall correctly you put the foam from the S into a M spiral dot? When I looked at the Symbios I felt like I was going to tear the foam trying to remove it. Any advice on that? Thanks.
Where is the best place to get the Spiral dots? I am still waiting on my Symbio tips and final E type and want to get spirals to see which gives me the right or also to try taking symbio foam and put into spirals like suggested.
I can only find a 6 pack (all of 1 size) for $15 but I sometimes use small or medium and spirals come in Medium smalls(MS) that is 3 different sizes that could work so I don’t want to buy $45 in spirals to get 6 pairs of those 3 sizes seems like a waste.
I already ruined a couple complys trying to take off the tips by trying mediums and smalls since it is a tight fit on Andromedas nozzle
I purchased some off eBay for a little over $12 per pack that were shipped out pretty quickly from Japan. Should have them in hand in the next couple of weeks. Maybe wait for one of the eBay site wide discounts that have been popping up and order from there?
I only have a pack of mediums at the moment, think I need a larger tip in one ear :/. There should be a spiral dot group purchase and where buyers can combine sizes into variety packs haha.
BUT when overpowered (playing out of the 380cu+amp balanced and the wm1A balanced) the Andros seem to (these are general observations common to both setups)
(1) carry too much brat in the lower trebles
(2) the wonderfully balanced bass become somewhat less balanced, with more mid-bass flooding out
(3) the mids on the contrary become a bit too focused and more energized being overtaken by the lower trebles, the beautiful airiness in the hi-mids lessens
Cables used (only balanced listed - almost exclusively used stock Litz for SE output):
Ref 8 (for 380 combo)
Venturecraft-Furutech PCOCC-A (for 380 combo)
Plussound Tri-metal X6 (for 380 combo)
Sony-Kimber cable (for WM1A)
Labkable Samurai iii (for WM1A)
Silver cables are biased towards attenuating the high frequencies and increasing details. BA drivers are already very detailed and revealing so unless you are really into that it's not a good fit.
I like copper or a copper & silver hybrid for BA IEMs to increase the low end without making the highs too hot. For dynamic driver IEMs I prefer silver or silver plated copper to open up the details in the high end.
