no more hybrids for me after that coherent sweet little earphone
Never say never, but I get your point. For me it's back to single DDs and two driver hybrids IF they're up to snuff with their coherency/cohesiveness (clean transient responses).

PS: just ordered a second set of the BL-03 for 25€ ... letmusicburn, baby ...

Personally I'd have to go insane first before spending my money on anything from a company related to Trinity Audio :wink:
Well, personally Ive had nothing but an amazing personal experience with Bob. He has gone above and beyond for me many times and the Zenith R1 is a superb IEM. Magical in fact
I can't speak for anyone who has a bad experience with Trinity of course, but I do very much sympathise with anyone who has and understand the unforgiving sentiment.
I can well understand someone not buying this IEM out of their personal sentiments but it is a shame as the R1 is very god indeed :/

For the record, I did not buy the Zenith... mine is the repaired defective one that "someone else" bought... gifted to me after replacements were sent for the out of phase first batch. Sadly many of those are probably being sold without being repaired... by people who did not realize what the problem was and just did not like them..

Amen! And yet I intend to dabble with DB3. I'd still probably be interested in sub-50 hybrids because that's where real experimentation is. But DD iems will still be my preferred daily, leisure and everything drivers.

Just add coal to the hype train, I have ordered the Blon BL-03. Not really necessary, but at $23.42 I could not resist.

With T800, V90, CNT1, BL-03, Spring1, Hi7 coming, and LZ A6, MH755, IE 40 Pro, NX7 current, I think I'm pretty much on Chi-Fi heaven.
I will give my impression and comparison in the coming days.
I guess I'm done with the 2019 shopping spree.

Unfortunately 11/11 and black friday is round the corner, I don't think 2019 shopping is done for any of us LOL.
That's a lot of nice IEMs coming in, look forward to your reviews. U can be a (hype) train conductor LOL.

Where did u get Blon BL-03 at $23? That's an excellent price!

I think I have depleted my future children's college fund :D
The BL-03 I bought via an online retailer called Shopee, with a 15% cash back from Citibank credit card.

Hopefully, you'll show us a list of your favourites from 1, to 2, to 3, etc.

Funnily enough, I had connected your white cable to them first, and then the copper cable...both identical to yours. As to sound signature: they are deeply V-shaped according to my graph, but this does not show in sound...they sound rather flat "bright neutral".

I also prefer them over the Moondrop Kanas Pro and even the less resolving Moondrop Crescent, not only sonically. One reason is their comfort. The only criticism I have is a lift in the upper midrange which can be borderline fatiguing to some or to me in some moods.

And here's the kicker: I A/B-ed them with the $600 Sennheiser IE 500 PRO: ok, the Senns have a tighter low end, but they are congested in the mids so that the Blon win the soundstage competition hands down. The Blons were an overall much more enticing listen, the Senns were muted and dull.
