IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
I have also messaged them and will post and update with you folks when I can. It is interesting to say the least that Bob and staff have chosen to close off communication via FB messenger service. There exists multiple prebuild projects that have yet to be delivered. Ever since his news on...- bestbacon

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
Regarding the Seraph, I myself am using Moondrop springtips after trying Spinfits and preferring the wider bore on the Moondrop. They are also a fair bit grippier similar to Azlas so are great gym companions. I've experienced major slippage with the old Rah's when things get sweaty but this...- bestbacon

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
Yes, and by different shell he means just asthetic changes. Both the size and shape will remain the same. Glad you got a set leaf, I also bought the ebay set on a discounted price compared to new (members price) . I've never spent 4 digit territory on any IEM for that matter, but there's a first...- bestbacon

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
Thank you concept, guess I'll find out and report my findings when my set arrives. Interesting to note as well that Penon audio also seems to have sets of Seraph up for grabs too like the Elan+. Makes one wonder if only 50 sets were actually made. Then again it matters little since Seraphina...- bestbacon

Can anyone who has the old Rah and new Seraph speak to the sound comparisons between the two? I'm still using the old Rah while waiting for the Na Le but am interested in seeing what double the price would achieve in terms of sound fidelity. Much appreciated!- bestbacon

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
From the exact description they are "apposing" each other so two drivers that are placed closely together in contrasting fashion/effect likely to be in a push-pull configuration as mentioned by another member somewhere earlier in this thread. I would definitely give Bob a shout out to get a...- bestbacon

https://imracoustics.com/collections/instock/products/imr-zion-balanced-drive?variant=40228175511633 Bob has finally updated the Zion page for anyone looking for the dual opposing DD setup. From the description of it, looks like a winner for anyone who enjoyed the bass of the DMs. It looks to...- bestbacon

Dear IMR aficionados, I've been out of the IMR space for around 3 years now after finding the IMR Rah. Having followed Bob since the Trinity Audio days and buying his last titanium in-ear before he created IMR, I have purchased the R1 Zenith, R2 Aten, and finally stopped at the Rah which I...- bestbacon

ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone
Have to agree here, the stereo imaging in these headphones are ridiculously good, instrument seperation is on point. I can't comment on the bass besides the fact that it sounds well appropriated for a balanced sound. It doesn't sound anything as exaggerated as any Beats headphones that I've...- bestbacon

IMR RAH - Discussion / Impressions Thread
You know it's a dream come true when your Rahs arrive in Canada one day before Christmas! Thank you Bob and Merry Christmas to all! Edit: Having my first look at the differences between the Rah and Aten and it is instantly apparent that the Rah is much taller a unit. Additionally the cable...- bestbacon

IMR RAH - Discussion / Impressions Thread
I believe the Halcyon is Bob's answer to try to cater to a different niche that prefers a inverted V shape type frequency response. He is trying, just that it takes longer to implement when your ears hear a slight v frequency response to be best (most people prefer slight V's).- bestbacon

IMR RAH - Discussion / Impressions Thread
I paid around $420 Canadian for the Rah and hearing this makes me extremely glad I ordered one. £400 (total including shipping) is around $720 Canadian after currency conversion. This means that we effectively have a side grade with more tuning options (open/closed) for another whopping $300 cad...- bestbacon

IMR RAH - Discussion / Impressions Thread
A little easier to decide granted the Rah is still much cheaper than the Halcyon. Personally I enjoy bass too much so wouldnt consider it and just wait for the Semper myself- bestbacon

IMR RAH - Discussion / Impressions Thread
From what I've been told the Halcyon is supposed to be a side grade of the Rah rather than a revolution. It was apparently designed to be more mid and treble focused. Also interesting to note is that only 500 gbp will be applicable for the loyalty bonus. As the deposit of 100 can not be...- bestbacon

[FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread
Just picked up my Btr5, have heard reports that the es100 sounds better in balanced mode in a youtube video made in Chinese. I will disclose my report in 2 days time. I was lucky to get one of the 60 units that arrived into Canada. Supposedly 180 units were expected to come but a fewer than...- bestbacon
