As all of the IMRs, the Fan 3 needs burn in to open up.

They are a lovely set. This is my first Penon. Quite impressed

A good day for me. My Dark matter finished a 125 hour long burn-in. It has developed a lot so far and it is now a much better in ear monitor. Then i decided to adjust my eq setting for the dark matter. I noticed that my eartips were not fitting well and so i put H570 tips on it. Now it stays in place. It became super obvious that the dark matter is cable sensitive. It literally sounds like a different IEM just because I have put a new cable on it. It opened up to my ears as soon as I connected my Effect Audio Griffin to the Dark Matter. Suddenly an explosion of clarity, micro-details and deep bass enveloped me. Next thing I notice is that my amplifier was set to low gain. Gain settings matter a lot for this in ear. Switching to high gain sounded like I just bought a new amplifier for my dark matter. It is just perfect now. Should I buy an ARES 2 cable in the future?

With a half heart I sold my DM. It is one special IEM this one I agree. So much potential for a two driver set. I am sure my fellow Italian head-fier will appreciate them when they go to him!

Today I received a Penon Fan 3 I recently ordered. A lovely set really, great for the price.
I was meditating a bit about this set's bass and IMR bass. Fan 3 has plenty of well balanced bass, reaching very low but having a good amount of mid-bass punch also.
IMR bass is not the same. I wouldn't even say it is more that Penon's ( It depends on which IMR set of course).Its experience is just more 'embodied', more first personal in a bodily manner.
While Penon bass is big but also more of a 'representational' than an embodied type. Penon bass is more like 'in front of you to hear'. IMR bass is more of a 'lived in your skull' bass. I think there is some bone conduction happening to make this possible. But that's only guessing from what I know.

I snagged a pair of the Penon Fan 2 from someone on ebay and they were my first Penon pair I've ever had. Must admit, my experience is pretty much the same as you. Very impressed with the pair and probably the closest I've heard to the IMR sound in another set.

The only problem for me with them is the deep insertion that's needed. They are nowhere near as comfortable as the Engima or Elan+ that I rotate them with.

With Spinfits it is quite comfortable.
I would say, Fan 3's treble is a bit more crisp than most IMR sets I've listened to, with a BA type harshness at times. IMR treble is usually smoother even if less detailed.
Different flavours, both great really.

Fable, is the spinfits the best fit after tip rolling on the fan 3? How about the relatively deep insertion divinus wide bores?

Ouff, BA type harshness doesnt sound too pleasant. How do you find the fan 3 when driven by the wireless bluetooth adapter as per your picture? I heard the fan 3 is quite a bit more holographic when cable rolling. How is the soundstage when compared to to the Seraph?

Its interesting that we have both bought our first ever set of penons around the same time as well. Waiting for a custom GS Audio SC9 to arrive in around 10 days as well.

 

[fablestruck]

I haven't done any significant tip rolling. The Spinfits were the second tips I tried and since they felt comfortable they stayed on for now. Since the Fan 3 nozzle is quite elongated I feel that wide bore tips might not be the best choice since with deeper insertion the housing is better in touch with the ear and this the BC works best.
Fan 3 sounds wide enough and has 3D and pinpoint imaging properties. But is not as wide staged as IMR Titan eg. I don't have Seraph.
The BT cable is a Null Audio Nyx+ BT cable capable of LDAC codec playback. Fan 3 sounds amazing with that, but I haven't yet given it much wired listening time to draw comparisons.

So I've returned to this thread for the last time. What I can gather is that Bob clearly has a criminal mind and is playing a scam game. Sad, but personally I think he is having a mental breakdown. I keep getting emails begging for money although it's a long time since I've been on this thread. I have no idea how this thread can maintain itself barring that so many have been cheated by his criminal mind. A sad story that many of us saw coming.

Hard to imagine IMR being able to afford pursuing legal action, especially outside of the UK.

He's doing this to try and show his creditors he is owed money and trying to avoid liability. It's a total scam by a fraud. Forward your received emails to the police is the best thing you can do.

Well, in a bizarre way, he IS owed money. I think we can agree that's true, even though it's weird.

Not sure if you saw the comments from the end of July, but somehow a slew of erroneous refunds went out to people, and now they are trying to get them back.

 

[Ryokan]

It seems the payments made in error are wanted paid back to tide to pay those who sent iems in? I've been advised not to pay tide. What a way to treat customers.

So he conned and robbed customers through Trinity and it comes full circle. It's good to live a moral and ethical life. I had no idea of this, but "what goes around comes around". Sad .

I received a legit payment for my Elan+ ... and an erroneous refund as well. I paid back via Tide using Apple Pay, connected to my bank account. I was reluctant, but it worked out fine.

You shouldn't have to pay another account, it's a heck of a cheek, all that's needed is to reverse payment. emails are getting threatening now, my bank has told me to keep all emails.
