IMR is NOT part of Trinity based on conversations in another thread. It's just Bob. Putting the past aside, it does look like a great project/something to look out for.

And GREAT price.
I can throw 500 GBP on retail market for some well-known headphones, but this...... Oh......
I just can't believe Bob starts his new career with whole new company, employee and supplier then produce his dreaming IEM in 4 months.
Only Morgan Freeman can do that!

What other thread, what contact, what proof?

I'll tell you what I see -
  • Same address
  • Same website design
  • Seemingly similar business model
  • This bit I found very interesting -
    Review sample on the way to Head-Fi reviewer
    I believe that the R1 is the best thing I have ever made but every customer needs some honest and independent impressions/review.
    Today I have shipped a pre production unit to a well respected head-fi member to get you that review!
    I will update more as the impressions come in.
    I'd like to know who that person is. It for sure isn't me, and even if I was offered, I would turn it down. Why - because of all the people Trinity burnt. I just wonder who the poor sucker is that they picked to review these. The "well respected" Head-Fi member. I'm sorry - but as soon as that person's name becomes clear, any respect for them that I may have had goes straight out the door.
  • Then take a look at their marketing blurb for the new IEM:
    Tuned to perfection using IMR's custom 13mm Ceramic hybrid driver unit. With its specialist hi-res ceramic driver combined with a beryllium 13mm dynamic driver with powerful neodymium motors for a huge soundstage and precise instrument placement and with a FR from 14-40000Hz to cover the whole audible range of audio.
    Pretty sure the Neodymium motors are magnets, and the audible frequency is 20Hz-20kHz. And when people talk about huge soundstage with an IEM ......
    I like the guys who simply tell it as it is - and are creating confidence through actually releasing quality products and service.
I would not touch these guys with a 20 foot barge pole. If you've got 500 quid and want a world class IEM - go have a look at Campfire, or LZ's Big Dipper, or something from Earsonics, or the many other companies who look after their clients.

My 2c

In regards to the address portion: domain whois gives very little info, as it's simply godaddy's default information, which doesn't say much. Is there any other place that an address is detailed?

**Edit**

Oh and Jackpot77 will apparently be getting a sample device next week from Bob. So I don't know if that is who he meant, but that is at least one person.

Oh my goodness @Brooko thank you so much for this. Coming from a moderator, I hope this opens the eyes for everyone reading this and all of Trinity's threads. Knowing that their addresses are the same and oddly similar business model, only backs up my theory of Bob being the mastermind of all this. He starts a new pseudo company in hopes to sway all the angry customers from Trinity. People who are angry at Trinity are quick to jump ship due to said anger and voila, limit the loss of customers. I wouldn't be surprised if that update email saying Bob leaving the company was written by Bob himself. *** even the logos are the same just flipped around.

Guys, WHERE do you see the same business address, on the registrar? That is not the company's address. It's godaddy's address. Imr acoustics is not registered in the UK business database either, so hard to say where this head office is even located.

Overall, it's shady. But let's not work ourselves up on alternative facts. ;)

Didn't spot that. Indeed, if you are so keen to distance yourself from your past company, why use a logo that is eerily similar?

Shoot, I would've at least used a square. I'm surprised the first line of products weren't called the Ghost series and all new Ghost Wind wireless buds. Ghost Expert 4 (GE4) and Ghost Expert 6 (GE6).

Huh??? Godaddy is located in Arizona?

Just want to be clear - I'm not saying this is a scam or in any way illegal. And I'm not saying this as a Moderator but as a member. I'm simply saying that I wouldn't trust them again - unless there were grounds for trust. And at the moment all I see is more of the same. For 500 quid there are better options out there.

Understood. I'm not saying it's a scam either. Just reinforcing the trust issue and questioning what is really going on.
