I would but the Astrolith derailed my wants

For $1600 you could buy and use for a bit and flip it. I am sure the Tri is worth more than 1600 in mint condition. I would do it if I had the cash but that is tied up with the damn Fourte I have to pay off but at least I got something I wanted in trade. I wonder what the CA buy-back offer would be too? Offer him $1550. Worst he can say is no.

CA is going to low ball you. Also the fact that the seller is willing to go as low as $1600 means not a lot of people want the trifecta.

Hahaha yeah if you're going to sell that dx320 better do it now while you can

I like the DX320 sound wise. I have to see how I like the Sony. Nothing wrong with it just a home use DAP for me. Sony will be more portable and have longer battery life. Yes I have to figure out what I am going to do fast. I don't need 3 DAPs haha

The seller really wants to buy another IEM badly so he is fire selling it and says the Tri does not fit his ears well. Its a $3k+ IEM. The damn Fourte cost me 1700 shipped and that has been out since 2016. Lives 2.5 hours from me too.

Trifecta seems to not fit a lot of people's ears

With the default tips ( foams ) I did not get a good fit. The Trifecta is lighter than a number of other CFA's I have, but the shell is larger and did not seat very well.
With the Tang Sancai I have no complaints

Hi all,

I have been a CFA listener for awhile now. I have both the Andromeda OG and the Ara. I prefer the Ara. I was thinking of upgrading to the astrolith and wondered what people thought given my preference for the Ara. I had electrostatic headphones for a while and enjoyed those as well. I don’t need a lot of slam from my headphones. I would probably wait until thanksgiving to see if any special editions drop.

How long do they last? They are expensive too. Doesn't brass corrode/tarnish? I live in FL where it gets hot and humid. You are lucky to live in So Cal. Lived in OC and SD for over 20 years.

Coreir has a Al alloy (tin/aluminum) version that cost a bit less less, does not corrode and does not enhance highs compared to the brass version

from my personal perspective Velvets wide bore are such an improvement vs. the classic tips version

On this forum in the recent past, I've criticised the floppy leather magnetic folding wallet that came with my Fathoms. It's pretty user-hostile IMO and - while it's undeniably great quality - whoever came up with it as a form factor for protecting £1000 IEMs wants shooting. I asked the forum for recommended alternatives and got a bunch of useful pointers to third party options. While searching, I came across Campfire Market, where for the princely sum of USD37 I found the dark leather faux-sheepskin-lined clamshell case you see here. It's awesome and cost a fraction of some other options I was considering. Given it's not on the main CA website as an accessory for sale, I can only assume it's been discontinued. If I were you, CA, I'd bring it back pronto. PS - any suggestions as to what a spare floppy leather magnetic wallet could be used for?

Personally I prefer pelican cases but hey whatever works for you.
