TRINITY - PHANTOM Series - New thread + WORLDS FIRST PUSH PULL HYBRID IEM!*

[JaeYoon]

Yeah jaeoon your one of the good guys, hope your happy with your pm6.

Yeah Everyday I look at my Delta V-II and use it as motivation as well that I know Trinity can deliver their products.

No personal attacks from me, and you don't need our/my permission to do anything? Who said you did?
Anyway, before you got my knickers in a twist I was going to post about how I've been going back through the original trinity lineup and putting my PM4s back in the drawer in favour of the Hyperion and original Atlas.
I wish they could have got the PM4 tuning slightly closer to a the atlas with the additional detail the PM4 brought to the table but with the relatively controlled highs of the atlas, not sure which I like more at this point? The form factor of the atlas is so much nicer, a lot easier for extended sessions.
I'm hoping my PM6 arrive early next week (UK) but know they are going to be more towards the PM4 spectrum than the atlas; not a bad thing as long as the fit is right.
Maybe I should have given the more musical Icarus lineup a chance but even with the great offers, given the current climate I just couldn't do it.

I've gotta wonder if the Icarus is going to sort of do what the Atlas did, but at a higher level. There's a very distinct separation going with their lineups. The Vyrus and Hyperion are what's left of the original Trinity sound we know (since few outside of CanJam got a listen to the Icarus III), then the comparatively cold/analytical tuning of the Phantom line, and then the wildcard (at the moment) that is the Icarus line. I'd like to think that the Icarus line is supposed to shoe in where something like the Delta and Atlas were, but the current pricing structure doesn't seem to indicate the existence of such a product. Could be in their future? Would be a good product and I feel like it would sell well. They don't have anything in that price bracket since discontinuing the Delta V2 and Atlas.

awww thanks
I'm definitely considering pulling the trigger on Vyrus 2 in their full price. I really enjoy Vyrus 1 and wondering what Vyrus 2 is like.

I think someone here has both...pipe up whoever you may be! Though at one point, it was said that the Vyrus 1 and Vyrus 2 are identical in tuning, it was just a change in the physic ergonomics (cabling) and additional filters. Vyrus 2 is great, though I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish it also came in the gunmetal color that the first one came in.

That would be great if Icarus III/IV was like a upgraded Atlas but much higher!

Yes! Whoever has both, do pipe up! Don't worry! We won't interrogate you, tie you up in a chair and use electroshock therapy or waterboarding tactics to get these impressions and comparisons

We'll only tie you up and either waterboard or electroshock; we won't do both because that would likely kill you. We're not savages, we just want information!

Am having major issues with my Master and PM6, have had both for some time but due to repeated hospital admissions they've been gathering dust. Anyway, I cannot get a good seal on either, meaning heavily reduced bass. Any tips? Have tried different tips with no joy. I don't have the issue with the PM4 or either

I do have some Kombi tips, cannot get them on though... and have arthritic fingers...

JVC Spiral Dots did the trick for me, made them sound better too.

I do have both Vyrus I&II. But probably asking me for the differences is similar to getting a review by Elmer Fudd. I do find the Vyrus II to have a much bigger and cleaner sound though.

Just got my Hunter back from being repaired earlier this afternoon. Except that those I received are a completely different pair. I can easily tell because of the heat treating compared to my original pair. Not a problem. All I can say is WOW what a dramatic differance from my original pair. Every single bit of distortion is completely eliminated. The sound is so much more clearer. I am so happy I sent the originals in now as I was debating wether to. Really loving my Hunter now!

Glad to know that!! They fixed the drivers.
+1 point to Trinity customer service.
Also the JVC spiraldots are awesome.

I 'm just blown away by how much better the Hunter sounds. I am using Spiral Dots too. They alone have made my other IEM's sound improve.

Sure hope shipping for the PM6 and Hunter pick up next week as I would really like to hear many more reviews.

Yeah I would love to join you all as well!
i have a pair of spiral dots waiting!

 

[bjaardker]

Where do you folks pick up your spiral dots at? I can't seem to find them at any sort of reasonable price.

With any luck, next week for you. It's really about time to finish shipping out the Phantom series.

No matter what I have thrown at the Hunter so far, it just seems to get better! And I am trying to stress them. It does prove that my Master has the exact same problem, but I don't foresee using any other of my IEM's I have now. Like the idea of sticking with one pair all the time.

 

[Remiam7]

I went to Amazon, but was stated I had to purchase from the Japanese purveyor. I did pay the $22 for expedited shipping as otherwise it would have taken up to 4 weeks to receive them. Well worth it to me. I might suggest to get the M/L as I have read others state the M/S are to small.

Amazon for me!!! Same day delivery cause I live near a warehouse.

The following is a quote from Jake when I asked him to compare the Hunter and Icarus line.

" The Hunter overpowers by a small fraction the Icarus III although the Icarus has a tougher cable design. The Icarus IV will be the powerful IEM. "

If the above statement is true it may be that the entire phantom lineup was heavily mispriced in terms of MSRP. Considering that the Icarus III was selling for only something like 60-70 GBP (can't remember exact discount price), this could be the wild card that you spoke of that offers considerable bang for buck like the Atlas Delta that many came to grow and love.

One thing remains to be answered. Just how "powerful" will the Icarus IV be considering it is the first IEM that goes against previous Trinity philosophy that it is unnecessary? Will it be better than the TOTL Hunter? "The Icarus IV will be the powerful IEM" seems to allude to fact that it will be superior to the current Hunter.

I really look forward to getting them all the IEM's from Trinity so I can do a full scale comparison between Hyperion, PM4, Master, Icarus III & IV, and Hunter that I still have coming.
