Bob said.. "Lots of people have asked us about the difference between the new Master, and the Icarus..Because they sell at a very similar price..(emphasized-)-They are very different sounding IEMs. The Icarus is not the most technical IEM, it's got a very rich sound, not to say that it's bassy as such, just a more rich experience. And it's got instrument separation and soundstage like nothing(than anything?) we've ever done. The new Master is more technical, more analytical, where the Icarus gives a more emotional kind of sound (maybe experience) just plug in and listen for hours"
Not verbatim, no I don't have a copy of the video, but I have a form of eidetic memory so I think you will find that it's close to what he said.
Edited: silly typo.

Wow! Could you take my history exams for me? I'd really appreciate it!
In all seriousness, this is what I remember from the video as well. The only physical difference between the two AFAIK is that the Icarus has an 11mm dynamic and the Master has 2 7mm DD in a push/pull configuration. I could be mistaken though.

I wish it worked like that, I would be rich, But my memory is sound based, I can't memorise written stuff- it's highly irritating actually.. But is great for testing sound, I visualise and remember a lot. I could describe the video in scary detail, lol, the cars that passed, the weather, it's an odd thing, and it's about 2 weeks + since I watched it.
He didn't mention the drivers in the video at all, only the sound signature and his opinion of the differences. But you are correct on the websites description, 11mm assumed single dynamic and 2nd Gen BA for the Icarus.

Well, I just popped for the Icarus III to go along with my Master order.  Perhaps I'll be able to offer my impressions when they arrive and I've spent some time with them. 

Cheers and Broke!

So on Friday, I messaged Bob regarding my Master's order, I was told by Jake a week or two back that I would definitely have them before the 30th as I'm leaving for a trip then. When I checked if that was still the case a few days back Jake didn't sound so sure. Bob told me he would sort it out for me the next morning as it was 9 PM in London and he still had the time to help me out. So the next day I get a message back saying he's given my package to the courier to get them shipped that night for me because I have express shipping. Fingers crossed they get here on time, but the moral of what I'm saying is, Bob hasn't let me down or broken my trust, I don't feel unfairly treated as a customer, nor do I feel like I've gotten anything I didn't expect. So I really can't relate to those who feel like TAE has cheated them, sure complaints regarding communication are sometimes valid but they don't warrant claims of being ripped off, lied to or cheated. I have been given assistance and responses to any issue that I have had, promptly at that. Even if they don't arrive on time, Bob has done what he can to get them to me and it's now out of his hands and a matter of what happens in shipping. Thanks, @Bobtrinity.

So I caved for a 50% off hunter. I'll have the entire phantom line. I'm terrible.

I'm close to being in your shoes. Although I'm not sure what to expect in terms of technical capabilities from the Master 6 vs Hunter. Decisions, decisions....

Yeah, I thought I'd just pawn off the PM6 at a low price after listening to them to recover some of the cost. Or keep both if there is a noticeable difference.

 

[datranz]

What's the code the hunter discount? Pm me please.
It's either this or ibasso it03

[Rhythmy]

I'm still not sure about the difference between PM6 and Hunter except design.. Seemingly only DD is not the same?

 

[fpessolano]

Well I already have pm6 and hunter on order. I will keep the code for the sagaris ii or iv or something else later.
Anybody already took the sagaris i offer up?
