The one thing I received from Gavin, well besides an amazing iem that I love, is honesty. He turned me away from two of his products, which he could have easily sold to me. Uber and an Uber IC. The Uber due to my listening habits, the IC because I was already running a fully balanced Rwak120b, he told me the setup I had would have been better. Gavin is a honest individual, and I have nothing but respect for him. I'm sure he would have given an honest answer.

Pete, as far as him not responding... I personally can't answer that, other than he did overlook one of my PM'S, but did get back to me and apologized. I'm not sure if pm's are the best method to communicate with Gavin.

I have received the same honesty from Gavin, too. If he likes the products, he would recommend them even if those are from other earphones or cable makers. It's how I got to purchase Fitear C435 and Earsonics Velvet.

By the way, I have also heard the new Uber cable that gives a substantial refinement upgrade to the Ref 1. Too bad I cant afford it yet and also the fact that I have glued my Ref 1 to the stock silver/gold cable.

I haven't glued my Ref 1 yet, but I'm getting ready to... Perhaps I should wait... Probably not a good idea, waiting that is.

CHG, can you share how you glued your Ref 1? What type of glue? I never really paid attention as I never had any issues with the cable popping in and out, however, with my new cable I am experiencing it, quite frustrating.

Hmmmm....I'm going to have to -speculate- how he would think but (& not to be rude) that would be hard for him to answer, wouldn't it? It's a question of how he feels of another manufacturer's cable vs his stock on his IEM?

hey, dunno if i entirely agree with you, ironically what your saying is that hes flat out ignoring me based on that my question has no relevance?  Speculation ofcourse, but if so that is actually quite rude of him! Even a simple reply with 'No, sorry i dont have any experience with Whiplash cables' would more then suffice. Anyway i dont know him personally, im sure he is a stand up guy face to face.

 Rich, I heard the glue dots are good to use (was mentioned here some pages back)

Thanks Pete, I'll check into them.

Thanks Pete, I'll check into them.

Warrior1975, any sort of water soluble glue will pretty much do the trick. As long as it's the sort which can be detached, if the need arises. Art and craft glue that is used in schools does the trick.

 

[warrior1975]

Ok. How do I do it exactly? I don't want to mess this up.

I recall there was a post by Gavin or someone on how to apply the glue. At this stage, I recall clearly Gavin's warning to be careful not to get the glue into the sockets for the pins.

 

[warrior1975]

I'll have to try and find that, I could easily see myself screwing this up... Thanks Kiats!

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

Warrior, I think I may have overdone it and no longer have the luxury to roll cables... LoL

 

[warrior1975]

LMAO... I'm afraid I may do the same. I might be better off leaving as is... Or just using my old cable, I had less issues with it.

I'll take this offline with you as it's OT to this thread.

Garvin replied my PM twice last week in regards of products been sent back for service, his replies are slow, but he replies.

 

[warrior1975]

I've never had an issue with Gavin either...But I know Monoboy and he is a good bro, what he says is definitely true... But back on topic, who is going to help me glue a come to my very expensive IEM???
