    Campfire audio is releasing two new IEM's, the Andromeda which will become the new flagship and Nova which sits between Lyra and Orion.

    Andromeda: 5 BA drivers per side, comes with new dark case and "litz" cable. Same CNC body but with a green finish. $1099

    Nova: 2 BA drivers per side, come with new litz cable and I'm presuming the same case of Orion. CNC Body with gunmetal finish. $499
    Both built in the U.S cause MURICA!

    I know quite a few of you guys loved the Jupiter so this may pique your interest. They're going to have the at a couple upcoming events so some impressions from both of these would be great!

    Couldn't find any other source for this. It's not even on the campfire website:

    ooooh ahhh, the andromeda peaks my interest, I wonder what would be better to go for the UERR or it? Hopefully someone reliable can get a review out soon!

    The Andromeda should be interesting.

    I'm sorry that dynamic drivers are only considered for the low-end for their line.

    Their Lyra is a dynamic and it goes for $799. It has mixed reviews but you might want to check it out.

    Interesting 3k scoop on the Jupiter. I think the anti-Ety sound is growing on me.

    I'm suspecting some slightly dry vocal I've been noticing might be the result of this scoop?

    Can somebody explain what the 1k - 4k range differences in Jupiter vs Andromeda should sound like?

    Also what the confused smiley on the Nova graph is in reference to...?

    I'm going to be traveling for work for the next couple of weeks, and these came just in time! I'll post some impressions once I get a bit more acclimated to them.

    I'm trying to find an amp/source combo that is quiet enough for them and a tip preference. They don't sound like my UERM. They lean more towards my Pinnacle P1 and JH13 in signature.

    I've only listened to them out of my phone so far, but the first thing that I noticed was that they were picking up some noise/interference in the right channel that I never noticed with the UERM. They seem extremely sensitive, so it'll be interesting to see how they sound with the Leckerton.

    It will be cool to hear your impressions compared to the Jupiter / UERM. There is quite a bit going on with the Andromeda and it is going to take some time for my brain to get a wrap on them.

    There's certainly a lot to take in, they're a pretty big departure from the UERM sound that I'm used to but they seem extremely resolving even out of my cell phone. I wonder if that has to do with those 6.5k & 9k peaks?

    I'm actually terrible at writing impressions, I might have to let @sphinxvc & @SteelCannon borrow them to do them more justice hahaha.
