Cadenza —vs— Alba

Alba
Comparison Notes
Kiwi Ears Cadenza and Meze Audio Alba solve the same IEM buying question from different hardware starting points. Cadenza uses 10mm Beryllium Dynamic, while Alba uses 10.8mm Dynamic, so the comparison should start with architecture before moving to price or brand preference.
The sensitivity figures use the same broad reference, but frequency, tolerance and fixture may differ. Treat them as nominal specifications, not a guarantee of equal loudness at one volume setting.
