    Safe and sound. :D

    Fantastic packing job by @daytripper!

    Immediate impression? Out of an iPhone, it sounds like a freakishly synergistic HD 600 combo. For an IEM, that is frankly astonishing.

    Mobile kit. Andromeda sounds excellent from this setup, albeit tonally somewhat different from the iPhone.

    jeezo, based on that DAC+Amp size and not balanced-
    has anyone run Andro balanced into a GOV2+ ? i mean, mobile should at least be a single device no?

    Heh, couldn't agree more @jexby. In this context, "mobile" means seated with my laptop in front of me. Using the term rather loosely, I'll admit. :p When I'm up, out and about, it's strictly iPhone.

    I'm pretty satisfied with the SE output of the Mojo for use with IEMs, but I throw the pico Power into the mix to change up the sound a little. It's bit more forward and energetic than the Mojo, which is sometimes desired.

    So far, I like the Andromeda best out of the iPhone. @Marvey was right about that pairing being complimentary.

    Last but certainly not least, the Andromeda has been dispatched to @Merrick. |\/|

    I thoroughly enjoyed my audition, and gained a new appreciation for what a finely tuned BA IEM is capable of. Andromeda is the proverbial "Real Deal." :cool: Just wish it wasn't so pricey at MSRP! :oops:

    The price wasn't really a deal breaker for me. If I could get this in a CIEM, it would be a done deal! I had trouble with the shallow fit.

    @Marvey - I should have tagged you, this is home safe, right?

    If so, this one can be closed up and archived.
