ROTFL
I've been thinking about separation a lot lately, trying to figure out at what point it starts to whittle away at engagement, or realism, or something. I believe there's a point where it makes you focus on the separation itself rather than the music. This obviously has its advantages depending on your purposes, but i'm beginning to feel like it hurts transparency, oddly enough, after a certain point.
Yep.
We seem to be talking about price in regard to perceived sound quality only. HiFiMAN appears to be a smaller company than most would think and the materials, labor and build quality of the RE-600 may have something to do with that price jump as well. And everything is designed and built in-house, driver and housing. No one really complains when say Aurisonics charges $300 for a faceplate because it's seen as an add-on cosmetic option. Here the "cosmetic option" is already built in.
Just trying to look at it from another angle. Whether that was a good move on their part will be seen.
Well, a lot of us don't know what this perceived sound quality is yet. So how can we make judgements on it. Wait until someone gets their hands on both and can use it for an extended period of time. Then we'll know.
What is the housing of the RE-600 made of? InnerFidelity measured its isolation and it's vastly different from the RE-400...
I was hoping for angel skin at the very least.
Clear their name?! I don't think snipes from Inks quite constitute a loss of face, lol.
Don't revert my point back on the argument lol.
It's a classy gloss black. A lacquer of some sort. I couldn't say if it was ceramic or a coating but it was confirmed on the other thread that it is lighter in weight.
I believe the casing on both RE-400 and RE-600 is aluminum. No idea why the isolation would be different. I will inquire and come back to you.

Dear hifiman, I requested a demo sample as Rin Choi long time ago but I havnt heard from you ever since. Maybe I can help clear your name if you think the arising doubt of over-pricing among users unjust.

There is nothing wrong with their name, I am simply saying it is something I can offer as a reviewer. I don't honestly think hifiman wants the degree of suspicion amplied any further.
