Thanks Jant71 for your quick and deep impressions of the Elecom 1010. Sounds like more an allrounder than the GB1000, which
is a bass monster.....glad you are enjoying them and find them worthy of the best of the mid tier current iems!
Im still waiting on the Master and PM6 so holding up judgement on the Trinity products till new engineering break throughs come about.
I still really like the double dynamic Trinity drivers(Sabres).
My Elecom GB1000 are super when driven from Calyx M and RSA Emmaline (they like high output into them very much), but
still struggling with good fit and bass isolation in ear canal. any tip tips?? hell, its almost st Patrick's day and gotta
get tipsy soon too!
I'll quote this here post as I really have had a nice GB1000 renaissance here. Obviously a solid earphone but not quite working for me back then esp. as a quick grab and go with just a player w/o an amp. Now though I have had some other earphones since and always good to try things so now the GB1000 with large UiiSii CM5 tips(wide bore, not butterfly) along with my Sidy/BGVP "B" tuning cable which is the mids cable making the likeable GB1000 mids more apparent/forward. Of course sounding like a ASG model means some good mids but just a bit more help from BGVP makes them pretty sweet. Then I finish it off on my Cowon using the Feel The Wind preset which is airy and thins them out from big and bassy towards a preferred balance and helps the clarity being airy and brighter sound. Of course they still have the semi-open big stage which is still the best I have for in-ears atm. Plus, the bass reach is excellent and those sweet mids. Just sold my CH9T but not missing them outside of needing a clip since they are straight down style. Actually like the Elecom house sound more. GB1000 tweaked is bigger and lower reach than the Pioneer and like the sig better; CC1000 is not as good as the Pioneer but still like the signature a little better, and always said the CH1010 edged out the CH9T though that one is much like the Pioneer sig with a little bass and treble reduced.
Indeed how Trinity have fallen out so bad. I see they have a new upgraded dual phase that they were selling for $32 pre-sale(not that anyone will ever see them lol). So, the $72 pre-sale they had for the Sabre was still big profit for them if they can sell the upgraded Beryllium version for much cheaper. They were set to make big $$$ but f'd it up as we know the profit on these things. Like DM5 with cables and four drivers for $65 including the sellers profit so how much to make them? I was one of the few get over, relatively speaking, on Trinity as the Sabre I paid for turned into the PM4 w/o having to pay the balance of $42 to upgrade. TBH, the PM4 was only really worth that price anyhow.
