Oooh.  My bad. So you're supposed to end with "n'est pas".


Phonetically correct, though it's written more like "n'est-ce pas?". Nope. Not a grammar police officer... I too get the yellow flag when I "jaywalk" my french!

I always thought that adding the "-ce" was the formal way of writing it.  N'est pas is like a shortened version? 

Actually, "ce" translates in "it".
N'est pas sounds like "nehpa" and translates (in incorrect French) as "is not"; N'est-ce pas sounds like "nesspah" and means "isn't it". Normally, there is no actual "formal" written French like there is in English (he is becoming he's, do not becoming don't, ...) as one should write correctly. There are, however, differences in the level of formality due to the vocabulary used or the sentences construction.

A little off topic, but you are correct. :wink: Far from an AverageDude! Haha

So I went to Canjam LA where I met Bob (very nice gentleman) and his team ar the Trinity booth. I was able to audition the Icarus iii on my pono player and also check out the new modular cable system. I would describe the sound as full bodied with a wide soundstage that's quite 3D. I would say, the soundstage is great for an IEM and the resolution is good too. Considering the fact that I heard it just after hearing the Senn HD800S with the $2000 HDVD800 amp, the Icarus iii held on pretty well. I am now excited about the Icarus series. I think Bob has done something really different here that sounds more like headphones than earphones.

I'm definitely looking forward to getting my set of Icarus III's.  I have been surprisingly wowed by the Phantom Sabre's sound (with my FiiO X5iii/A5 combo), so can only imagine what the Master and Icarus III will sound like!

And interestingly enough, I really don't consider myself an "IEM" fan, tending to prefer headphones but the Sabres are so comfortable (even more than the Delta/Delta 2's) that I don't even think twice about grabbing them for a listen!  If the Icarus III's are as comfortable AND sound like headphones, that's just Bonus!

Thanks for the post! Did you get an explanation as to why they didn't bring the higher end Phantom line?

Hi Karendar,
I think Bob explained it at one point, they are only displaying products at Canjam that will be available for buying. The phantoms are out of stock and not purchasable.
