They are very technical monitors with great soundstage and natural sound.Appreciate your comparison with Solaris.Too bad i can't demo them but the difference in performance doesn't justify blowing another $1650 and probably investing on a good aftermarket cable on them once new dap arrives.

Very nice Impression....

Unfortunately for me the Solaris Demo is postponed in local dealer... but I somehow get the idea where solaris will be

but regarding Andro OG and SS, as I recall from my memory, OG have more bass than SS...
SS with ref8 is different beast, everything seems more thicker, but also the Hiss... so very source dependent... Sub Mid is excel on SS

I prefer OG because is sufficient in my available source, and not planning to upgrade it...
As I remember using Ref8 on OG also create noticeable Hiss on Note 8.... but not really using the regular silver Litz.... that's why I prefer OG....
Just to comment; I am listening to Gary Numan Exile which is a bassy album with AndroSS and 1000M, and the bass is pretty slamming; I find it surprising for you to say the andro og is more bass. I never heard the og, but the ss bass is rather strong to me (and great).

Candle, where do you post your pictures before you link to this site?

This website is pretty cool so I don't have to post them anywhere. There is a button next to "Post Reply" called "Upload a File". :wink:

We need more gear photos, btw, guys (eye candy).

Hah, looks like I picked a good day to do this! Wanted to take a picture of my Andromeda S to use as my (first ever!) avatar pic, but turns out they're pretty hard to photograph because of how reflective they are. Anyway, here's my clearly amateurish attempt:

IMG_3259.jpg

Not perfect, but it made the cut!

Bonus content: Quick impressions of Radsone Earstudio ES100 paired with the Andromeda S. Picked the ES100 up on a whim when it was on sale a week or so ago. It's honestly not a bad match with the Andro as a usb dac/amp - no hiss and clean background, definitely beats out my laptop's headphone jack in terms of detail and stage size. Output impedance is a little low (0.5 - 1ohm I believe, I'm using the SE output) but I can always add the iEMatch to that chain to hit that OI sweet spot. It's very small and light, making it pretty good for office use.

Bluetooth performance with my iPhone (16bit/44.1kHz AAC) was also pretty good - obviously sounds more compressed with some loss of detail and space, but still no hiss and perfectly acceptable performance (at least to me) for on-the-go use. Solid device for its price, given what I've heard so far!

Pic is fine, but I would put it through Google photos and add some effects!

In my ear, OG Bass hit harder, based on my memory...

but doesn't mean SS bass is not punchy...
Again, S Mid is a point out that OG...

For me, Polaris dynamic Low is suit my ear....

Which comply tips ? type ?
have to admit, the tip I am using daily is from my Silicon TFZ IEM.. Big Bore, not making my ear canal itchy... no coloring in SQ, IMO...
