And he announced his patreon winners for Christmas, I believe one of them maybe a member of this forum. Unfortunately not me.

Also, looking forward to his review.
Never joined his patreon tho. Only watches his videos since I just joined this community few months ago hahaha.

So just got my A6 Mini and a NiceHCK DB3.

A6 Mini sounds good out of the box though I'm struggling to get a good enough seal. Sadly the 2 pin connector on mine is crap so I won't be using an aftermarket cable. Stock one works well but balanced would have been nice. I've only used the blue filter thus far which actually suits as most of my stuff is fairly dark (or too savage in the highs). I'll probably change to black at some point. Won't even bother with the red as I don't like recessed mids. Certainly it seems like it belongs at or near the top of my pile of IEMs. Just a shame the build is poor. If that stock cable dies I may be totally stuck.

should i be worried?

Don't worry. I speak as a satisfied customer. There s a long story from a long time ago that has to do with upsetting the headfi administrators. Who knows if the same people are even involved with the company now. If you want to read about it, @Slater has links in his signature.

How is the 2 pin crap? Is it loose? I got the mmcx version and the right side spins and wiggles really easily with my cable 175 but not on the stock cable

One of the terminals has no visible metal on the IEM connector. It must be in but pushed deep. My aftermarket balanced cable struggles to make a connection but stock thankfully works fine.

Whats wrong with the pins? Im completely cornfused as to why you cant use a different cable?
I got MMCX as I loathe and despise dual pin and I would say that the build is top notch. Something I would expect of a $200 IEM. Stock cable is great also. Measures low resistance(0.370) and is super beefy.

Yea there are variances between all cables. Usually if loose you can splay the middle pin a bit to get a better connection. if you go to far and cant even connect them a needle nose plier can help you squish them back together again.
