FS: Campfire Audio Solaris (original)

Hi everyone, I'm selling a pair of b-stock Campfire Solaris, which I bought here in October 2021. They've had very little use as I no longer commute to work on public transport. I'm selling them for $420 inc. PayPal fees and fully insured UPS ground shipping within the US (I'll cover the first $20 of international shipping).

They were in blemish-free condition when I got them; I think the original seller, @Clemmaster perhaps, mentioned that he couldn't see what made them qualify as b-stock. In any case, both gold faceplates now have a very faint scratch on each now; the scratches are very faint, can only be seen in the right light, and are impossible to photograph. Here are some photos, I can send more pics if you want: https://imgur.com/a/4YbfZHK

Two other things to note. 1) The leather case has a small dark red/brown mark on it (visible in the photo), and 2) I no longer have the stock cable, having replaced it with one from Luna Shops (via aliexpress), which @rhythmdevils recommended for helping to lift the mids: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/headphone-cables.10675/page-6#post-363049. Fwiw, I preferred it to the stock cable.

Also included are some tips I've not used; they came with the IEMs.

 

Still easily one of the best IEMs out there-- the portable audio space is all the poorer for its "newer is always better" mindset. This is a screaming deal, almost makes me want to get my pair repaired again (lmao no I'm done chasing it).

 

Tax day bump - you know you want to spend your refund on these!

Man I know you're not the biggest dynamic driver fan but it's the ADLC driver responsible for a lot in the low bass through the low mids!

Not so fun, but here's the difference in response between a good unit and one where the dynamic driver is (presumably) non-functional. Rather critical to the voicing, I'd say.

Ok. Non ortho iems

 

The Solaris is now sold. Please close, @ChaChaRealSmooth or @shotgunshane - thanks for everything you guys do as mods!
