Somehow I've ended up with 4 (including the EDP Ace) in just a month

Grey nozzle and blue filter are now my final combination. Details are at maximum with this setting.

Still, without EQ I prefer the 7Hz Timeless. I will use my Timeless for mobile audio purposes now. One day I will move to an endgame IMR device.

Sign me up! Two pairs in the house, Ace on order, and I have a pair of the headphones in my cart that I'm really trying to talk myself out of.

count me also in, but I don't wanna be healed.
The latest events already healed me from my chi-fi-addiction, but I don't wann be healed from my IEM and Headphone-addiction.

Haha My Secretary will contact you with appointment details lol

The Zenith sounds like a better match honestly! @holsen put it very well that the Ace will probably not be a bass monster.

I asked Bob about the bass of the ACE - He said in Open Back it will have greater texture (more so than simply more quantity!) He seemed to shy away from saying that the ACE would have a lot of bass - I don't think the ACE will the 'best' buy necessarily if you are looking for a deep and rich low end

@holsen - Did you recently buy the new Shouer S12 - 14.8 planar ?

there's no imr that dissapoints on the bass department, even the original EDP (which im listening right now to) has an adecuate bass with its titanium driver, of course against 14 mm CNT... who knows what will happen

apogee groove and OG edp sounds so analogue, im listening rockabilly/ 60's 70's surf today and man... those guitars, and those drums...

Received this in the mail today together with letter of apology about the Avalon delay.

I was just relieved and happy when the Avalon finally arrived.

Getting this in the mail put a nice grin to my face. A nice touch from IMR.

Not sure if there is a name for it. Calling it Thumper for now.

Just picked up mine from the post office as well. Unlike @dakchi, however, I only had to pay a couple of euros in handling charges.

Early sound impressions are really good. Warm-ish, natural tuning and quite wide headstage. Sufficiently competent as far as detail retrieval is concerned. It'll be great for outdoor use.

Anyone heard any news if the EDP ACE production will be starting on time or delayed?

The Ace and Zenith are on time so far. The shells are being machined at Bob's workshop as we speak. Do check the "Special Build Updates" hyperlink for periodic updates

Moreover, I spoke to Bob about the upcoming Seraph and Seraph+ According to Bob, the MEMs driver provides a planar-like, analogue warmth with the resolving nature of an electrostat. However, the MEMS transducer requires the in-line amp (which plugs to any source, I'm guessing a 3.5mm in). Consequently, the MEMs driver will not function without the in-line amplifier. But, you may choose to plug it straight into your source and just use the CNT ADLC driver on its own.

The prices of the Seraph are TBC (still getting quotes from multiple sources), but it won't come cheap. Hope this helps!

Where to find the "Special Build Updates" hyperlink?

Just under the quick links section at the bottom of the IMR page https://imracoustics.com/pages/special-build-updates-1

Very interesting. Another that I won't be able to resist

Thanks for the updates Kevin! Much appreciated!

One day I will listen to an IRM set with maximum possible resolution. The new MEMS driver sounds soo good.

Do IRM electrostatic drivers hold up to stax headphones? I prefer IEMs but I want to listen to an electrostatic once.
