lol definitely

Indeed. The jump will be large and unmistakable.

So after 256 pages of reading head-fi I figured I better make an account so I can actually ask a question. Do you guys think that I would hear a very clear audible difference between vegas and my Shure 215ltds. Made a bit of a post in the help section but I figured I should ask here cuz it is the CA vega thread

Most definitely. I don't have the Vegas but I came from a pair of Shure se535 to Lyra II and the difference is quite noticeable. So in your case, I am confident it will be an even bigger jump! The only thing you might not like as much in comparison is the fit/seal. I own several Shure IEMs and they have some of the best sound isolation I've tried to date.

Headphonebar in Vancouver sells them, and ships to Canada only.

I've asked them through email and they said they carry it in-store but never replied to me on whether they could ship it through mail. At this point I'm thinking of paying the premium and buying directly from CA. They have been very responsive and customer friendly so far, so I'd rather deal with them even if it's for an additional cost.

Crap. My wallets going to die

Why

Why

Was holding off on the Vegas until I was sure that it'd definitely be a large difference

Got it. Oh well it will easier to carry since it's lighter

Hi, Anyone have any experience with Vega pairing with AK240? Its the only DAP I use and I wonder if it deliver Vega's potential.

 

[KhunChang]

I don't have AK240 but I have AK240SS and Vega pair well with it. I prefer the pairing over Vega with Hugo concerning more transparency and better airy soundstage.

I want help ...

I'm serious about buying a Vega.
I'm mainly listening to classical, jazz and ambient music.
My earphones: JH Audio Angie, Layla and Audene Isine20.

Layla is my earliest sound signature, and the isine20 is instrumental and vocal unbeatable, but it's open, so I use it exclusively at home.
I'm looking for a similarly large soundstage IEM because Layla is much narrower in this area.

Does Vega meet these needs?
Do not I feel excessive bass overweight?

I'm looking for a dynamic driver, I have experienced the limits of the armature's sound signature.

Thanks for help!

Layla is known for having one of the largest soundstages around. You can't expect true full-size headphone sound from an IEM.

Maybe the Tia Fourté will come close, but I think your expectations are a bit skewed on this. There are limits to what an IEM can do.

 

[Asspirin]

@Tulku1967 Layla's sound stage is much broader than Vega's. Don't know of any IEM that has a bigger stage.

Vega's bass has more impact, but I don't think it's excessive. In general, Vega's sound signature is more weighty and more fun than Layla's. A nice sidegrade for sure.

I'm going to purchase the Vega soon in the next few days after a return of an IEM goes through... Vega is worth a trial since, IMO it does something very unique... But I'm sure you read what it is like and have done your research to see if it suits your preferences...

One thing I have read and experienced from my own demoing of the Vega is that it does have a soundstage on the more intimate side.

^ IMO

Vega with the right tips and right source can hold against multi-BA CIEMs, but you have to have the right combo. Wish Vega wasn't too picky with source and ear tips.
