Request: CAMPFIRE AUDIO - ANDROMEDA SPECIAL EDITION: GOLD
I don't know if this is the right place to make a request but here it goes. This is a limited edition version of the Campfire Audio Andromeda IEM which adds two balanced drivers to deliver even more punch to the low end. I'm looking for a great set of IEMs to listen to and some reviews of the Andromeda have put the SHURE 846 to some kind of shame (which I have had my eyes on for a little while). These are currently sold out at $1299. Who knows if more will be produced, so I ask if we can get some motion on this request. Anyone interested?
Here is a review:

If you haven't made a decision yet, I just received mine and I wouldn't call these bass heavy at all. I'm not even a bass head and often find myself bumping the eq up a little to give a little more thump.

jiggastafarianSurprised, when I listened to the normal Andromedas I felt the bass was almost sufficient, didn't blow me away but it's presence was noticed.

jiggastafarianI agree they aren't bass heavy (say, compared to the Atlas). But it's a nice increase over the bass of the standard/normal Andromeda.

Not gonna happen, the Andromedas or Solaris never got a drop and the Andromeda Gold are limited to 1000 pairs. If they did a drop then the exclusivity of them is gone.

Hmmm...that's always a hard question to answer. =) If you don't have the original Andromeda and are tight on money, it's a strong option. You can often get B-stock for around $875. The original has a bit more crispness on the highs to my ears than the SE, but the bass, while present and accurate, is weaker than I prefer.
But if you would rather have the extra bass, the SE is the way to go. I also have the CA Atlas, which is a single 10mm DD, and I actually like the BA bass of the Andro SE better than that of the Atlas. The Atlas is nice for in-your-face thumping but not as clean-sounding as the Andro SE.
If I could have only one Andro, I'd personally go for the SE.
Hope that helps. Check out the posts in the Head-Fi thread on the Andromedas since about 08/31/19 for some more owner perspective...

Good luck with the decision!

journeyman63 I listen to lots of bass heavy, detailed low end music. Think Trentemøller - Chameleon, James Holden, etc.. The good news is that if I don't absolutely love the Andro SE I can return them. Thanks so much for the insight, it's well appreciatred!

I don't think they are sold out yet...they are listed as in stock on CA's website:

I have a pair of these and the standard Andromedas. Both are great, but the SE has a nice bump in the amount of bass, which I enjoy.

journeyman63Yeah I just realized they are still in stock (who knows for how long though, there's only 1000). I don't know how I feel about spending $1300 on IEMs right now, do you think it's worth it? My pockets aren't as deep as they used to be and I just bought the sony sennheiser bundle :)

Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica
I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own. In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!
