Does anyone know a true upgrade of BGVP DM6 with even more linear tuning?

I think you will be interested in the Etymotic ER4SR but the comfort depends on the user.

Most sellers were long sold out of the original T2 last year. I’d be willing to bet that every one you’d find now is the new one. Maybe a really obscure seller might still have an old pair in their inventory, but it would be 100:1.
Why is the older T2 better then the newer T2?

And yet some people treat those like gospel. My question is, if twisting it breaks it like shown, how do you know if a wire was partially torn loose previously and thus impacting measurements.

Most of the time the first batch of a product is relatively small to test the market, once a company knows it has ample orders to build a bigger run, they start sourcing parts for that larger run. These parts may have minor variations from the original lot. That is the reason we see some products with 3 or 4 different sound signatures in the same product model based on where in the production sequence they were made.

Hmmm...so much for measurements: the Dayton IMM-6 calibrated microphone is obviously not very sturdy when moving the coupler...here the literal "ripoff".
That's happened to me more than once, thank goodness for Amazon returns. Honestly the easiest thing to do is just to cut the vinyl coupler off.

Sorry that happened bud. My 1st one did the exact same thing.

I tried warning people about the problem 6 months ago:

I bought a 2nd one, and came up with a mod to reinforce it permanently. The reinforcement has to be done before it falls apart :frowning2:

It’s not.

The old one (ie original T2 b1) has the blue goo, and has zero bass.

The newer one is the better one (ie v2, not to be confused with the new T2 Pro). That’s the best one by far.

Tin Audio quietly retuned the v1, giving the v2 more bass and no blue goo.

There’s a FR graph floating around that shows the difference between the 2 bass tunings. It’s a significant difference.
