That would mean that some used gen 1 Polaris and Andromeda up for sales soon at a heavily discounted price?

Should I go for the IO or wait for a used Polaris for $300?

If it were me, I would wait for a Polaris in good condition if you like that kind of signature. I haven’t tried it myself but since most characterize it as v shaped and that is what I would expect from the Io with its tweeter & oversized BA driver configuration. I guess maybe wait and see some impressions of the Io but if I could pay the same price for either (assuming similar v shaped sigs) I would go with the discounted Polaris over a new Io.

The new Andro is identical sonically to the "old" one. Only difference is packaging afaik. I doubt anybody who wasn't planning on selling a green Andro would now sell at a loss for minimal differences.

The new packaging looks amazing, especially the new case; and I have to say the IO look so much more beautiful in these photos than those from the CA website! I may buy these just for the look.

And very happy that CA finally replaced the memory wire with molded ear-hook; hope CA do this for upgrade cables as well.

If these sound decent I'm definitely getting some

 

[ExpatinJapan]

But wait theres more! Bonus DX220 and IO rig

 

[gazzington]

Let me know what it sounds like. I'm getting a dx220 but will also get the campfire if it sounds good

Is it just me, or does the nozzles look longer as compared to the Andromedas?

Yeah, iirc one of the more common complaints about older CA designs is the short nozzle. They've changed it up for the newer models- see https://campfireaudio.com/shop/polaris-2/ for another example of the newer nozzle design.

Not sure if that says anything though. The old Polaris also had longer nozzles.
