New Head-Fier
First of all thanks for letting me get in, I've already read some articles and its seams like a fun and engaging community without too much animosity to one another.
As said in the title I am trying to get in to the Hifi listening expiring but am hitting brick wall after brick wall.
I started of with the Fiio FD5, great bass but not really as precise as I wished for since I compared them with the campire IO (still in my Hifi infancy, I thought that was amazing resolution lol). So...I started looking for a mix between Fiio FD5 and IO so I bought the Campfire Andromeda Andromeda. I Fell in love with the imaging, detail, and sound stage but was missing the bass response. Next I tried my luck with the popular choice, the Blessing 2 Dusk. One problem...it wouldn't fit without me enlarging my ear with a drill bit so that was a no go. My last attempt were the XENNS UP, great resolution and bass though the later a bit to strong, but I was still craving the imaging and the resolution of the Andromeda...I swear I wish I could just take the Andromeda and squish in a DD.
Any how, I'm now looking at he Monarch MKII or the UM MEST MKII (custom to get the best out of the BC driver) but Im not sure which would be best and I really what to be done and have the IEM with which to waist away the day with all the best tracks. What do you suggest, monarch or MEST? dose the Mest justify the 700.- difference or rather not? is there anything better in that price range you have you're eye on or have you've given your hart to?
Best Josh
