Wow!
I am once again gobsmacked and don't know what to say except, thank you. Thank you very much.
When I read the PM I was totally dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.. I still don't think it has sunk in yet. I'm still in shock.
I'm seriously starting to think ortho people are a different breed and I'm deeply humbled by the generosity show,

are you getting the HE5LE? or the HE6? I think it will be more helpful if they let you tune the HE6 to near perfection, as part of that flagship model's developement (instead of tuning the LE which is already a production model, that will drive all existing LE owners crazy... Like releasing another version of HE-5.)post #112 of 87955/24/10 at 10:02pm- Nankai

I don't understand why you talk like this. We will not let customer tune any product.post #113 of 87955/24/10 at 10:04pm- Ypoknons

This is a weird thread, full of drama, rival personalities, misunderstandings, a memorable ride full of ups and downs and come final, a heartwarming ending that shows us the good inside people... or has it?
post #114 of 87955/24/10 at 11:56pmtreatment against headphone infection on the way...........................probable healing when HE-6 is released, side effects of infection are surrealistic hallucinations of monster planar headphones so we probably understand that people are afraid

Yeah, it would be nice at some point to see some of the supposed "trickle-down" effect of all the new driver technologies that have been debuted in the last year or so (including by dynamic companies). So far only Beyer has achieved this
