Guys - just to clarify on the IMR thing: I'm the Head-Fi'er being sent their demo model for a week. This came about as I am one of the few thread members who currently has a Hunter in their possession, so I wanted to hear the difference between the models, and to be able to post comparisons between this new model and the other higher end IEMs I currently have, to try and give an impartial opinion for anyone who is currently looking at this, as this has already started being discussed on another thread.
For the record, I'm in no way connected to Trinity (or IMR/Bob, apart from having the Master to listen to for a few weeks around Christmas last year). I'm just as unimpressed as most people here with the Trinity delivery sagas and constant lies about timeframes, and had to chase my Hunter repeatedly, bringing to an end my purchasing with them once they were sent.
I've believe there is more to the story than most of us will ever find out, and if it turns out that this is Trinity in another guise, that will be hugely disappointing. I wasn't one of the members who received an email from them unsolicited, so can't comment on that either. However, all I intend to do is give an honest appraisal of what I think the new model sounds like, good or bad. Whether people choose to read it or not, out or choose to do business with the new firm, that's entirely down to them - personally, I'm taking Bob at face value, and these will be going back to him in a week with an honest appraisal. I can fully understand why some members will choose not to, and that is entirely as it should be - a personal choice based on how they see things and what they feel comfortable with. Hopefully this will help take some of the hype out of any train that is building, and give people at least one point of reference for sound if they are considering them, prior to putting any commitment down. As can hopefully be seen from my previous reviews (including impressions of the Master in early Jan on here), I didn't declare the Master as the greatest thing ever, and just put them where I thought they were in comparison to the IT03 and LZ-A4. That's all I'll be doing with the new model.
Sorry if this has come across a little defensive, but I take my integrity very seriously (both on here and in the real world), so just wanted to weigh in on my reasons for getting the demo model.
To put this back on track, there will be comparisons Vs the Hunter going up at some point on this thread (unless people really aren't happy with that, in which case I won't), but everything else will be kept for the other thread where this all originated.
