Do you mean an iDSD vs Polaris comparison?

A nice surprise today

Hey HP, are you reviewing the R1's or is that an acquisition for your stable?

 

[OldDude04]

Those R1's are beautiful.

 

[HungryPanda]

I bought them for myself, listening to them now with black filters (they were on them), using RHA tips. Have listened to the new Snowy White & The Flames and Eat Static albums. Sounding very good indeed. I don't notice much difference in open or closed modes (yet)

Pretty sure Bob said that feature was predominantly for when, glad to know in a peaceful setting you are not hearing a major difference it that is his intention How's the cable?

Mine arrived today too - not another review pair, I liked then so much I ended up buying a position pair off Bob for my permanent collection.

No idea what the filter colours mean yet, but the cable is actually pretty nice - thick, rubber and minimal memory/cable noise, plus a right angle connector.

@HungryPanda - will be interested to hear your thoughts on the sound once you've got used to them (and which filter is your favourite).

Nice, THX for the cable impression Looking forward to both your takes on them, the one review I've read kinda has them being compared to the Hunter which was at the same price point but radically different tuning wise!

My review is already up over on Audio Primate - had a review pair a little while back.

Nice review Jackpot, saw you got a little feedback from Shoot and for those that got caught in the middle of the new business plan I feel for them but I'm only out my $10 Icarus I and not the PM6/Hunter debacle. I can't put all the blame on Bob and between putting up with BS and not being able to control anything once the plan was in place I feel he had no choice but to remove himself from that company. He never in 4 years ever did anything to give me cause to believe he was nothing but honest and above board. With that said I have no doubt he will recover and most assuredly has learned a lot about the business end of this hobby.

The difference between an amateur and a professional lies in how they learn and recover from their mistakes. I feel like Bob has definitely learned what not to do and will recover and go on to bring more goodness to the audio world. I'm still a huge fan of my Icarus III, even if they do say Trinity on them, lol.

Yeah, Bob is tenacious and I too feel with a little time recover from this. Still a fan would be putting it mildly for Pod as I love all my (Bob) Trinity iem's from my Hyperion, Techne's, Delta's V1/V2, Sabre's, Even found a couple rigs that make the PM4 sound rather good, Vyrus's V1/V2, Master's and of course the Icarus III

Even thought Bob is reverting to single driver configs I thought he was really hitting the mark with those last to Hybrids Might also be just a wee bit of heart in the Amie and Pro as well

I just got a text from the wife that UPS brought me a package. I checked my DAC's tracking number and sure enough, it came a day early. I know what I'll be doing tonight!
