What does disagreement have to do with anonymity? You drew false equivalencies and now are in nothing to see here mode. No idea of changes as stated in the last post yet called it a completely different model in others. What response did you expect? Buy at a greatly reduced price before anyone has heard it and are then critical of a difference in sound that you also don't know exists or have heard. Then expect a free rebuild of something that is already considered VG and a great value, is not defective and could represent a negative on their balance sheet. It's more like paying for a slice of pie, getting 1/2 a pie but insisting on which 1/2 they give you.
I'm absolutely not in 'nothing to see here' mode. I'm in 'shall we get on with life because this is boring and you wont let up because you're determined to shove subjectivity down my throat and this is actually a thread on a forum for discussing sound quality, not to mention I don't have time to string together a coherent debate right now' mode. Don't be presumptive like that, it's patronising, unnecessary and needlessly argumentative. I didn't realise I was facing none other than the champion of 64 Audio; perhaps we should have a duel.
The rest of your response is also presumptive, especially as you have no idea how I was trying to intone any of it. I've already said I was ALSO speaking in general terms. Every response here seemed to be a massively defensive rebuttal based on interpretations of what I wrote, and assuming I was talking VERY specifically about 64 Audio.
Also, why on earth would you carry on a debate like this when I tried to leave it behind? If you'd like to open another thread dedicated to this now stupid debate, please feel free.
Also, anonymity has EVERYTHING to do with how you respond. There have been multiple studies done on interactions of this kind, and it's also obvious (observe and 'comment is free' section of any newspaper). If you were speaking to me in person, one - you may have a better idea at what I was trying to get at rather than getting high and mighty about something I didn't really put much effort into articulating anyway, and two you'd probably be a bit more polite and less presumptive.
Now kindly, whether I'm in the right or wrong, do not accuse me in such a directly personal way again unless you have a personal stake in the debate at hand. This is a bloody forum about headphones, not me suggesting you go and urinate on a family member. If the only purpose of your response is to antagonise and continue a point you've already made, what IS the point? If I'm
this wrong (which I must be given how you've harped on), I'm not worth your time: maybe I would be if I was actually trying.
Now, everyone else, please can we carry on discussing these
marvellous iems?
