A BIG thank you to Meze Audio for providing the Alba for review, much appreciated. The Meze Audio Alba is the epitome of how a single dynamic IEM should sound in my opinion. The Alba is like the early morning sun shining through your window. How does the Meze Alba compare to the Moondrop Kato and the Meze Advar?

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
