Can not resist for one more time.. I will not comment on whether Bob tunes his IEM's or just throws something inside the shell. I suppose everyone can make up their mind on the topic. However, the drivers inside the Radius models I was earlier pointing out (and seemed to be the originators of...

Already promised to myself that I will leave this thread alone, but... I'm not quite sure how many IEM companies are NOT producing either their parts or the whole IEM's in China. Also referring to chi-fi as something susceptible and then ending the post by pointing out FLC as an example of a...

I believe that there is quite strong evidence that what ever is said about something will have strong impact not just on me, but roughly also on every other person in the world. Even when we are aware of the possible bias. I would guess that community like head fi would magnify such effect. So...

I tried to point out that I don't believe Bob is just re-branding chi-fi as is claimed in this thread. I'm not interested on discussing morality or business understanding of Bob, but I think it is still incorrect to mix these questions with the quality of his iems. In particular when Bob has...

I think the diver model is quite promising and I think it was made clear in IMR webpage that Bob does not produce the drivers (as it was stated in TAE as well). Overall I find it little strange that people complain that some driver model is used(maybe version made specifically for the IEM...

The first instance (in recent years) I have seen this driver appear is from japanese Radius. I suppose this was far before this Chinese manufacturer. I searched for this thing when Bob told about IMR driver. I would guess that there are now quite many manufacturers who can produce similar...

That is ridiculous.. So apparently they actually did have an OK solution for a truly wireless IEM and seem to be that it is not even highly complex design. Yet they were not able to produce them in decent numbers..

Not exactly what I had in mind.. I'm not really that familiar with the North Korean situation, but it really makes one wonder that if all the countries that are currently benefiting of North Korea, would stop what ever they doing, would it be enough to collapse the system.

Now we only need some person from Siberia to make us all look like sissies.

-40 in Celsius is really cold indeed. Have only once been in such weather. Something like -20 C is a great swimming weather. Assuming, there is no bad wind.

I'm using Icarus 3 almost everyday. I'm currently most happy with the blue filters and some of basic tips that came with the package.. I have to say that I'm extremely happy with this IEM and sad to see what has happened with the company.

As far as I understand Bob's office in the Mill has been there even before Trinity's office, which according to the quoted post is a separate location in huge mill, with lot of businesses.. It is for sure not an accident that Trinity is located in same place and close by, but I don't think...

I'm using exactly the same combo at the moment an for the same reason.

Damn, must be reserved only for us Finns. In fact it seem to be difficult to find good recordings from Apocalypticas early years from youtube. One more try: If that did not work, then here is some Cash for comfort. I suppose this only gets better when you grow older.

Thanks from my part as well.. Some really really cool music and good recordings as well.

I don't think any of the guys in Steve'n'Seagulls are trained as classical musicians, but at least few of them have a degree in music. The drummer has even university one (although finally specialising in music pedagogy). However, they are not fake in a sense that all of them seem to be from...

Search Twitter for imracoustics . Logo is designed for imr by some other company.Come on now guys..Bob might want ask for redesign.

I think the bass of Icarus 3 already had quite a bass. At least on paper the new driver sounds even better (size +Be).

Don't know about the value of Icarus iii, but to me it is doing some things it really extremely well. Well recorded drums and bass and their fast interplay is super good and it does really sound like being live. Have feeling that the detail is not extreme, but when really testing I'm not...

It seem to be that this thread has way too many speculations and way too few old dudes.

I agree..In fact I'm going to begin the round of congratulations from myself and getting some nice beer for tonight. And now, I can not help but to torture you with one more Finnish cover (which I prefer to the original): P.S. Don't worry my vacation is soon over and this Finnish invasion...

BTW Great thanks indeed for @OldDude04 creating this thread. Really pleasure to read. One of the nicest atmospheres, not just in head fi, but in the internet overall. Nice dynamics with people from different countries and age groups.

This is all very interesting, but I heard that you have a very interesting open/closed IEM at your possession.. My Sunday would be greatly enhanced hearing some quick comments on it :).

No problem.. I think the version played here is little modified version of the classical concert kantele.

Thanks for that. I had forgotten Korpiklaani.. For people not familiar with this type of music, Jonne is the head of Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani.
