Which model did Bob lose and won't be able to remake?

My order was for an Enigma + Dual Electrostatic

Enigma....
NaLe, Zion and EH were lost way back. He even completed the rebuilds of all lost Nale, Zion and EH and already shipped them. All of it is about to be gulped by Royalmail again.

My Dear Poor Bob!!

So seems that seraph and titan are the last IEMs from the defunct company IMR. Those with one should keep them as a testimony of what IMR was. RIP

I have an update
I am happy things turned out this way

Damn how many emails did that take? I'm on email #6 asking for a refund on the Zion and not a single one has been replied to yet.

If IMR were a US-based company, there could be some options ... journalistic exposé, Better Business Bureau, attorneys general. Maybe given the small, boutique nature of Bob's operation, journalists wouldn't think there's a big story here ... but perhaps there's some outfit that would be eager to dig into it.

@rawrj not many

Guys, I have a question for all of you, before starting my own research:

- Which IEM up to £2500 is equal to IMR Titan?

Thank you

I wonder if this is these are the final notes in IMR's swan song. The mere fact that they've resorted to flipping Chinese OEM products at ridiculously inflated prices speaks volumes to what their financial situation must be.

What just happened here ?
Did Bob just say that your Enigma is lost in transit and you won't be getting one ?
Or was he talking about an older Zion/ Na Le order that you had ?
Does this then clearly indicate that no one is getting their Enigmas ?

But how the heck did he get into this situation ?
Selling a 3 usd iem at 255 GBP is robbery, plain and simple.

I haven't received any email about my enigma order yet.
No responses other than one response from Brandon from the ebay account, who said I would get a tracking number soon.
2nd payment was made in Sept End
I will send another email today and update here their response.

Thank you for sharing. Bob's reply is right on as expected. Item is lost and refund is issued.
I guess Bob should apply in Guniess Book of world records for lies. I am sure no product company can beat his record

What on earth did imr do with all the enigma cash , if he isn't giving us the iem at all ?

 

[Zeppmeister]

That is the grand question. Too optimistic timelines (and with EH, maybe too optimistic goals), which eventually led to cancelled orders and refunds, which led to a shortage of cash, which led to inability to pay suppliers, which lead to shortage of raw components, which led to inability to complete builds and fulfill orders, which lead to making up stories about why orders weren't going out ... or were (wink) going out, but were somehow always getting lost.

Something like that maybe.

I love it ...this thread has the most drama on headfi.....but where else would i go ...I only own imr iems ....and I'm down 1400 GBP...dammit...

 

[Bioibon]

Or was he talking about an older Zion/ Na Le order that you had ?

It's an Enigma.

Does this then clearly indicate that no one is getting their Enigmas ?

This indicate that Bob has choose the same way as in EH, NaLe and Zion, again blaming the postal company for the loss of their deliveries. Same situation, different IEMs

Also ... I remember some time back someone here shared that Bob told them the plan to buy the machine shop didn't work out, but only after Bob had already put money into that plan. Something like that.

I'd be shocked if it just doesn't come down to poor cashflow/poor cash reserves.
