It is time to upgrade my In-Ear Monitors (IEM) from the old Shure SE 425. To my surprise, none of the local stores stocks the models I wanted to try and purchase; ALO Audio's Campfire Atlas, Vega or Andromeda.
I rang a few stores in Sydney to be told they have demo units for a demonstration. What am I supposed to do? A return air ticket is very cheap on Qantas (~$250) but how about the time? The air ticket is cheap but the time to do the roundtrip is a huge dealbreaker.
In the end, I changed my mind. Scheduled a weekend to fly to Sydney to test a few IEMs. However, ahead of that, I decided to post on a forum seeking opinion on models I was intended to purchase. Thankfully, a couple of blokes stepped in near my suburb, inviting me to demo the units they own. (Thank you, Craig and Rory) Craig got two of them Rory has purchased a Campfire Atlas. After listening to them for some time, I decided to pick the Andromeda.
To be continued......
