Can you comment something about the mids? That would be awesome!Solaris has more sparkle and refine bass compared to lx and that all I have to say about that

Yes I guess thats my question is how do the signatures differ? I am going to be buying a new iem and have been looking at the phantom. I'm a big fan of cfa and have owned many in the past. Based in the impressions so far I'm about to jump on the train.

Since receiving the Solaris last Saturday I have went back to lx, will give it a shot and back for more
You're in Paris as well?
It's Mollière not Molière like the famous author but I get that a lot
Ahah indeed
Yeah I'm in Paris too. Avid vinyl collector here, which is also a very time consuming and expensive hobby when you like to dig the rarities !I've gathered some really nice gems in the abstract-ambient-drone-experimental genres on Spotify. Would you do me the honor to try your babies out on a few tracks of this playlist ?
A few superb albums that I can recommend :
Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Glass (or Vrioon, a masterpiece by the same two)
Alva Noto - Xerrox Vol. 3 (minimalistic, beautiful, hypnotic.)
Dedekind Cut - Tahoe
B/B/S - Palace
Deaf Center - Pale Ravine
Well, so far so good, lets add a little Skee Mask - Compro (beautiful electronica - glitchy - DnB LP by the natural heir of Aphex Twin. beautifully produced and mixed)
Rave on !

I ordered my Solaris on Sunday and they've already shipped, arriving tomorrow. Thanks for the upgraded shipping, Ken!
I'm looking forward to trying them out tomorrow night. My current favorite IEMs are the Andromeda (BA) and EX1000 (DD), thus I was very interested in the Solaris since it's a hybrid.

Yes they are SUPER FAST, I order my on Friday and pick free shipping, but they overnite for FREE
Can we talk about insertion/fit? I'm used to deep insertion on my ER4XR's using the triple-flange tips. I LOVE the fit and isolation (they sound pretty great too). I haven't found any triple-flange tips that will work with the CA wide bores. Best I've seen are the double-flange spinfits (thanks bvng3540!) but I'm a little concerned that I won't have time to figure out if the fit is right for me within the 15-day window to return them if they don't work out. So I'm interested in others' experience with this issue with Andros or Solaris. Thanks!

Before the arrival of the Solaris, CA in the progress of making custom tip, I know there one member got one from them, you might want to contact CA, I myself would like a pair of custom tips as well
Worst case, there's always Snugs, which would be around $250 with the templates. But I'd rather not spend that if I'm already splurging on IEMs.

I didn't know about Snugs, nice
I'd have to enquire about Solaris, as it's not listed yet (neither is Atlas by the way)
Edit : I sent them a request, we'll see!

True. But they do Andro, so I'd be surprised if they wouldn't do it.

Sure, I'll ping them but I guess they need to have a Solaris at hand to build the template so that might take a bit of time (or maybe the Atlas since nozzle are apparently identical)

the widest bore triple flange is the one for mee pinnacle, it's slightly wider than the double flange spinfits, i use them with the andros when i am out and about and need a little more bass than usual.
