  • The Campfire Audio Ara promises better bass and more vibrant mids, but with some sources it's too much of a good thing.

    Tysm for providing comparisons with the Andromeda S. I’ve been searching high and low for comparisons with it against ANY of the 2020 lineup.

    Hey I’ve just ordered the wp900 afd can’t wait for them. They look beautiful. Just wondering what headphones, iems and daps do you personally use these days? By the way I miss your Lachlan UA-cam channel. I discovered the Sophie album through it

    @minisic Hi Lachlan, not sure if there's a chance you'll reply, but if you do, may I ask how is the mojo 2 paring with the Ara? I'm planning on upgrading my portable dongle to Mojo 2, but I'm afraid Ara will not be the right IEMs.

    • @MinidiscAu
      @MinidiscAu  Рік тому +1

      Ara will sound a bit warmer on Chord Mojo, so the balance will be nice, but it will also noticeably pick the noise floor from Mojo. For Ara, I would probably recommend a dongle like the iBasso DC04 Pro. This will give you a similarly smooth tone but with a much lower noise floor (and price).

      I think Lachlan never really left, as long as they are happy that's what matters most. I won't lie I really miss Lachlan's channel format but life goes on.

    What about pairing the Ara with SP1000M using the balanced output?

    Just wondering pairing with either Sony's ZX300 & NW-WM1A. What do you think? Right now I wouldn't be able to travel to Sydney to try it out. Currently using andromeda 2019. Cheers

    • @MinidiscAu
      @MinidiscAu  4 роки тому +3

      The ZX300 will give the Andromeda a brighter sound and is quite a nice pairing with low noise floor. The WM1A will have a more noticeable noise floor with the Andro. With the Ara, the ZX300 will be quite a bit brighter - too bright for me.

      @@MinidiscAu Just the answer I am looking for. Thank you. One more question for the Ara, have you guys tried the balance cable on the sony? The Andromeda using the 4.4mm went a bit darker - which is just right for me. So I was wondering will the Ara have similar effect.

    Does it have the same soundstage as the original Andromeda classic?

    • @MinidiscAu
      @MinidiscAu  2 роки тому

      It has been a long time since I have heard the original Andromeda, but I would say the soundstage is on a similar footing with current generation Andromedas and my own Andro SS.
