@midgetguy @jellofund thanks y'all! First impressions: top notch. I'll be a bit more detailed in upcoming review

Well Trinity Audio is based in the U.K. and I presume the time it takes to send IEMs to New Zealand to be reviewed then and back to the UK was too long. I'm sure Brooko will correct me if I'm wrong. The last ones that I believe he tested were the Hunters, which he said needed some tweaking before release and I believe that was implemented.

I can't remember who at the moment, but someone closer to home has taken over that task of testing and giving feedback to Trinity Audio.

As you can imagine, after 15,000 posts, it's easy to miss some information. But I think I'm correct in what I've written.

I think the core of some of the misunderstanding with your original comment just has to do with the wording. @Brooko won't get any pre-production samples to listen to and provide feedback on in all likelihood, but whether or not he reviews any Trinity IEMs from here on out is totally up to him. Yes, his location may restrict review samples (if they need to be returned) but there's nothing to say that he can't get sent a production model to review and keep or that he can't buy any particular IEM for review. Those latter options are completely up to him. But I believe it's true that he's no longer involved in the testing and tweaking parts of the design phase which is understandable. To sum up, no longer reviewing Trinity IEMs and no longer providing design support (lending his ears in a sense) are two very different things; he's probably not doing design support, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can't review a set by buying or borrowing from another Head-Fi'er.

No prob! My post on page 1020 outlines briefly what I feel are the basic differences between the filter sounds when using a Vyrus V2. @harpo1 agrees that those impressions seem to generally apply to the Master as well so feel free take a look at that post.

@Midgetguy Point taken. I was just answering in relation to his graphs which he used to do with the pre-production models that he would receive from Bob.

Arctic monkeys - stop the world master with red filters fed through cayin c5.... nuff' said, hypnotic

Incidentally, my cayin c5 just died with battery, these masters love power, sound is far different directly from phone

Understand about the balanced cables being sent out later.  What about cases, either Kombi or SpinFits, and a 90* adapter?   No case received with my Masters.  Anyone else not get one?  I'm using the 90* adapter from my "spare" Techne kit.  
 
Still hoping for a filter guide to be published.  Just started listening with the installed filters.  Yup needs more juice than either my Master 4s or Technes.  But the sound is quite pleasing thusfar.

Case was in the shipping box, no room in the Master box.  Came with a sample baggy of Kombi but no SpinFits and no 90* adapter.

Some of the accessory items seem to be a little bit in disarray. I got a case and Spinfits (outside of the box, but in the mailing package) with my Vyrus V2, but I've read numerous reports of people not getting those items with their Master. I didn't get a right-angle adapter with my Vyrus either.
 
I would very much like to see an official guide to the filters, but until then, I think I'm the only one that's posted a brief round-up of what all the filters do. I wrote those impressions with regards to the Vyrus V2, but @harpo1 posted that the filters seem to do similar things on the Master as well. Head over to page 1020 if you wanna check out my short thoughts.

No case was included with my Masters. No Kombi or SpinFits. Only accessories were 6.3mm adapter, shirt clip, red & blue faceplates, faceplate/torx tool & faceplate screws. To be fair, no where is it mentioned on the website/product decription that a case, extra tips or right-angle adapter are included. I don't remember if these were specifically stated as included with the Master 4, but they all were. I did assume a case would be though.

Not in my box   Nor I now see were the torq screws and mini-screwdriver that others did get.

Okay, thanks.  Looks like I'm not alone then in having numerous items missing from the shipment.

No Kombi, no spinfit, no 90, no case here. Really bummed about the case.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your predicament. Whether or not you have had to wait a year, or I have had to wait a few days, a few days is still a lot for me. You are used to waiting a year, I have not yet had to wait a year. So I still feel anticipation for when the thing will arrive. No different really, no need to be upset. 

I gotta say, I am eager for those hunters to get here. 

 

such spam much wow

That's interesting... Did you pay for express shipping as well?
