Thanks! Sounds like a nice complimentary set to MEST!
It really is, and ill have the VE Elysium and V8 arriving shortly from the tour, hopefully, I don't fall in love (one of my kidneys may be on the line)!

Nice! That would be an amazing four way! I know my little brain won't be able to handle so many at once, lol Please come back and tell us more when you form some impressions!
Hi all so I just got the original Andromeda, IMR Semper, Aether ears R essential, and and UM mest. The Andromedas are the best I've ever heard in my 40 iem collection. The IMR is great and adds some bass heft. The Lime Ears are anemic. What I'm shocked by is that everyone loves the Mest. I don't get it. I'm a soundstage head and these were supposed to be the best. They are unbearably bright and weak in the mid bass. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else feel ripped off by the hype? The andromeda is light years better. Looking for some tips if I'm just crazy. I replaced the regular cable with a standard 2 pin. I put dekoni bullets on. Is the um marked side the right or left? Probably going to sell unless there are tricks or burn in required because this is not what I expected. Please help peeps!
I use silicone ear tips the most, but with the MEST, using foam tips serves multiple purposes. 1st, it tames the upper treble a little, so it doesn’t sound as splashy to me. 2nd, I can insert the IEM deep. 3rd, it prevents any driver flex. A full foam tip attenuates the treble too much for me, and makes the MEST lose a lot of its special qualities, so I trim it, to about 2/3 length, with no foam overhang. I like Tenmak foam tips by far the best, plus they’re inexpensive. They are available on AliEx and Amazon.Well what do you feel about foam vs silicone. I have demonic bullets and spin fit? I just find silicone makes my ears itchy
Woooooah, easily the best review I've ever seen of an iem. I absolutely love the comparisons to other iems as well.

Just a thought but it might be that MEST is not your preferred signature. I have Andro v2 and it's a very different tuning. Andro and Solaris that I have tried have lifted 2k-5k mid-range compared to MEST. Looking up IMR Semper frequency response (I have not heard this FYI), this also has an elevated 2k-5k range. I tend to stay away from such tunings (just my preference) as they tend to sound too forward and wonky for me. IMO, MEST is more of a W-tuning with tamed 2k-5k range. So if you got a tight seal and still not working out, maybe it's not a tuning for you? Did you try a warmer all copper cable?
I'm always silicone tips, Azla SednaEarfit Light or Xelastic. The only time I use foam is when I fly, which I haven't done with MEST. How about wide bore vs narrow bore? I also remember stock tip with teal core has wider expansive stage.
