Sorry for the lack of updates, but I'm struggling for months with Spanish customs and I'm still waiting for Bellas to arrive... It's a shame how some privatized old public services work here.

Still kept by the customs?

Spoiler

Yes... After sending required documentation 3 times and obtain the ok to go on, now they say that address is bad (where NC5v2 were first sent, so no way it is invalid). Ashamed of Spanish national mail service, man)

 

[thomaskr]

Just a heads up and warning to everyone if you see the bellav2 attached in pic sold by anyone, its considered a stolen product and will not be available for any after service or future upgrades. It was loan to badboy (known as BGGA and hosts of what other names he might call himself) It was a loaner product and he'e been hoading for the last 6months and is giving all kinds of various excuses to the point of blocking me on facebook and not replying to my emails when i've asked him multiple times to ship them to another reviewer in line, i've asked another head-fier to talk some sense into him and was replied with same old lame excuses. Do kindly advise me if you see the picture of the following bellav2 floating around in earphone sellers zone in another assumed name.

Oh, I just saw Thomas post. I was actually one of the people who were supposed to receive the loaner unit after BBGA (because I was thinking of upgrading to Bella and wanted to try it out) and can confirm what Thomas wrote about the unit never been sent out by him. I got once told by BBGA it is going to be sent out to me but then never heard anything again. All of my following friendly messages to ask for it got completely ignored by him. I have no clue why and was quite sad I could not listen to Bella V2. Anyway I decided to upgrade to V1 now.

 

[Hanesu]

Terrible news. 6 months is far beyond a reasonable timeline for a review.

If it was just the timeline. I think that would have been fine if he just wrote to Thomas, me or other people who were supposed to receive it after him.
But after saying several times he will send it he seems to have consciously ignored and blocked all communication about it and simply kept a 1000 Dollar earphone without a word! If it really stays like this I find that unbelievable!
Hope he proves everybody wrong - but after six months it doesn’t look like it anymore.

 

[thomaskr]

I didn't want to do this, but i think i need to let the community know and not misunderstand. That there wasn't anything in the slightest that i did in the past in getting the bellav2 loaner back, that offended BGGAR gf or her family in anyway. please see attached the images, the red colored are my own words, the black box are timelines of the conversation from start to finish,. Every image is marked from numbers 1-26 so you follow the corresponding conversation i had with him from last year till today. I don't like doing this, and i hope this will be the last time i need to be calling out someone for trying to twist my words ot what happened.

 

[thomaskr]

and Finally the last one.

@thomaskr We're sorry to hear about the situation, and it's good to learn that some progress has been made. We hope you're able to reach a resolution quickly.

@Everyone
Due to the way the discussion evolved, we've gone through the thread and removed most of the recent posts because a number of them didn't meet Head-Fi's guidelines and it took the thread off course. If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me so we don't derail the thread further. Let's please keep the discussion here focused on the gear, music, and pairings. Thank you everyone, we appreciate it.

I wonder in the case of Bella, does the dynamic and only the dynamic driver handle all bass related and BAs do the other ranges. Mostly curious because this may be the highest driver count I've seen with a dynamic on it.

 

[duaned]

How about a Bella limited edition with some awesome bass output down to 10hz? I want to vibrate my skull and the Bella V2 is to tame in the bass dept. for my tastes:

I'm kinda tired to further elaborate, so hopefully suffices for now to say that the most fascinating thing I found on the NCM website is the reshell service. Never seen anything like this before.

No, there are other makers with similar numbers i believe , AAW, Jomo, EE ?

V1 bass should suffice?

Hmm? what do you mean?

I was asked to review this thread, as there were several post deletions related to @thomaskr's posts about Hawaiibadboy. While I agreed with most of the moderator's post deletions (which I'll explain momentarily), I restored posts by thomaskr detailing his communications with Hawaiibadboy. I also restored a couple of @Hanesu's posts. Both thomaskr and Hanesu were in direct communications with Hawaiibadboy regarding this issue.

Again, though, I do agree with the rest of the moderator's post deletions. Why? Because posts like the following...

It is a well known fact that HBB is a dick

​

This bloke ( BGGA) is most certainly a moron! I have also had a run in with that idiot in the past.

​

Dude should consider changing his name into Degenerate Guy Nothing-audio-related-will-just-talk-horseshit-about-myself Review

...aren't particularly helpful, and do nothing to help resolve the situation. Also, Hawaiibadboy is not able to respond here, as I banned him from Head-Fi last November due to an issue unrelated to this one (another ugly issue that some of you who also browse Head-Fi.org's Facebook Group may be familiar with).

If thomaskr wants further discussion specifically about this issue on Head-Fi, he can post a new thread in the Members' Lounge forum (as opposed to this thread in the Equipment Forums). That said, any posts like those I quoted above would also be deleted.

Thanks Jude for the understanding and clarification, you are right, this is probably much more appropriate on the Lounge forum and i'll do as you've requested.

ok done.,
