I'd also like to remind everyone of the NiceHCK HK6 hype collapse. Hypes are getting pricier with every season.

Not to mention in a subjective hobby like this; one mans hype could very well be another man's (Or Ladies lest I forget) dud:thinking::wink:

Apparently, I'm too new to this thread to have any memory of this, so the reminder isn't ringing a bell. :p

What's the TL;DR? :D

What is a TL;DR? As to the HK6...hyped and then only @HungryPanda liked them in the end.

First everybody is in denial as they have spent so much money in the hype train's dining car - and when they finally wake up they realize that the train has left the station without them.

First thing - particularly when much money is at stake - is a frequency response curve. Without it, I don't go any further. High rollers likely know which signature they like and which not. Some run away from a flat graph and others from a V-shape. But no graph is not enough information. A graph is also objective (although not sufficient), listening impressions are not. In the end, both are needed to complete the puzzle.

Sorry, it's lazy-write for "too long; didn't read" as in, what's the general summary of what happened around this HK6 that caused the hype to collapse? QC issues or something...?

As to your acronyms: don't forget, many people here are old. In the HK6 case...some listeners changed their mind...can't remember the details. Or some ordered it after reading reviews and then didn't like them...

I missed the dm6 hype-train derailment [caution: I may as well have cited somebody wrong and the good dm6 is still running full steam ahead].

DM6. As in, BGVP DM6? That train derailed? If so, I bet that would make for a juicy read.

Are we mixing up the 6's and G's again:rolling_eyes: Inquiring minds want to know if there current orders have derailed before even making it stateside:scream::cry:

So you think it derailed in Hawaii:smiling_imp:

I better stop my train now and go to a Christmas party :).

Depending on your current speed and number of cars you may have a while before you can exit the train:beerchug:

Did I misread that note on the dm6 derailment? I personally have not heard details of such a derailment.

I highlighted the specific statement I was replying to in my quote.

"I missed the dm6 hype-train derailment."

I guess that was a typo and you meant to say HK6. This is why proper model names instead of a flurry of numbers and letters are welcome, haha. Oh well :)

I was just thinking how many pissed off buyers there were going to be since my seller says he's only getting 20 pieces a day from the builder and by my current wait and calculations he sold 300 pair out of his store alone! I know when I started surfing AliEx again every store I stopped at said sold out:fearful:

My apologies, I am notorious for mixing up such random number and letter arrangements. That's why I don't drive a Lexus...I better fix that claim of mine in order not to get a sharp letter from Gary at BMW...what was that earphone brand called again?

The World needs more Garys.
