Keep a look out for when these are back in stock. Bought for use with my CH9T and the Dark Grey Large is perfect for me with the Lyra II.

Wonderful organic sound and perfect timbre spoiled by glue. Now I have to send them back, re-incur importation fees etc.

Yes, Cascade is very Vega-esque with a touch of Andromeda.

Have been on vacation for a few days. Got to visit Campfire Audio headquarters in Portland and give their entire line-up a try! It was awesome. Also, the cascade may have restored my faith in full-sized headphones.

Perhaps contact Campfire directly to find out what glue they use and repair them yourself? It is not supposed to work like that but overall perhaps a better solution than waiting for international mail and paying duty twice.

Hi all.. just got a set of Lyra II to try out CA. Coming from and still use my Shure SE535.
After reading all the reviews I could find, I was expecting V shaped signature but for me, am finding them very well rounded. I was expecting to be wow'd but found myself listening to more and more songs per session and just not wanting to stop :) Best compliment to a headphone or IEM that I can think of. My source is an AK300.

Anyway, need some recommendations on large deep silicone tips. I'm not getting a good seal with any of the tips that shipped and I hate foam tips. Currently using the SpinFits. As a reference, I'm using the large Westone Star tips on my Shure SE535. Would appreciate some recommendations.

I get by far the best sound out of my Lyra II's with the Symbio W's. If you usually use a large silicone, try the medium size Symbio. To me, SpinFits sound downright congested in comparison.

I am very happy with my spiral dots. I find they open the sound and enhance the upper frequencies with excellent low-end response.i get an excellent seal with large tip sometimes too much with mild pressure sensation, so I often use a ML

I also have Symbio W and like them as well.

I’m not sure I have a preference but I do believe the higher frequencies are still a little better with the spiral dots

Yeah Symbio I get too much driver flex and with Spiral Dots I get that weird pressure shifting as I walk around. I happen to have no issues with the Tennmaks

I'm a big fan of the RHA Dual Density tips:

Great price, too.
