I've received the tour kit from @seamon. Not crazy about the NT6 pro or non-pro but do quite like the Viento.

I didn't get to do a lot of direct a/b comparisons due to other life issues going on but here are some quick thoughts:
- I preferred signature C as Barra has it laid out on the first page. This gave some fullness to the midrange that I find missing in the Hidition house sound.
- Signature C is very tasteful and sounds a more even in FR to me than without the midrange boost. However it does sound a little soft and compressed in dynamics.
- PP8 sounds more dynamic both in macro and micro dynamics; It also simultaneously sounds more reference and natural
- Andromeda sounds U shaped next to the Viento in this configuration but also sounds overall much larger in particularly width but height and depth as well.
- Signature D, with the deep bass boost, helps a little in expanding the staging, as well as sounding a little more macro dynamic.
- Both signature C and D are very appealing. It's polite, musical and really easy to relax and enjoy.

Announcement - Beat Audio US Premium Upgrade IEM Cable Tour

Because it keeps getting asked, what upgrade cable should I get for my new Hidition, I thought it would be good to kick off a series of upgrade cable tours starting today with Beat Audio. Here is a link if you are interested:
