Meanwhile, back at the ranch, some interesting predictions and indications coming in response to my speculations regarding the M4 and M6 sounds!
Still wishing I could stretch to the M6, more so than ever now
As mentioned in my post (somewhat lengthy, so I can excuse the oversight lol), I am in fact British and happily esconced in the bosom of the sprawling metropolis of London.
So any swings in the currency are extremely unlikely to make any significant difference to my (in)ability to purchase the marvellous, soon-to-undergo-apotheosis M6
Just a few impressions from my Sabre experience so far:
Nice packaging with a host of included tips, including some Spinfits. Sabre is smaller than I had expected and fits easily in my ear. Sound is weightier than my Delta V2, but I miss the damped filters as I find the higher mids and treble to be rather strident at certain frequencies and I have not found a filter/tip configuration to reduce bring the sound more to my personal preferences.
My biggest complaint is that the cable connectors are very hard to seat and are very easily disturbed by movement resulting in the sound cutting out. I MUCH prefer the MMCX connectors used in the Atlas. I found those to be very secure with never a polarity issue. I certainly hope that the Hunter has a more refined connector system as it deserves much better than that of the Sabre.
While the addition of the longer filters is a welcome addition, IMO, as mentioned above, including damped filters would allow much better customization of the sound.
As of now, I am not sure if my Sabre will be a keeper or not. So far, I am preferring my Delta V2 even though the Sabre is a better fit.
I'm still waiting also, and the end of the month as the final date for the preorder sale prices is already imminent. Having bought for me or my people two delta's and three hyperions it's obvious that i trust in the holy Trinity's abilities for doing miracles, but i just can't spend all that money (for the m4 or even the m6 if i turn crazy) without knowing a word (with basis on experience with it) about the products. I understand and appreciate that this is a prize for the loyalty of the ones who trust, but my poor economy doesn't let me afford this faithful gestures even though i believe, i promise it, i believe in Bob, please, lord i beg your pardon.... It's just that faith sometimes requires an expensive attitude!!

Your having a polarity issue? The connectors have notches so you can only align them one way, and with the length of the male and femal connector you should not get any drop in connection. Are the groves present on your connectors?

Yes notches match OK. Just seems as though the pins are a bit short. As posted by another individual, there is still a small gap between the body and connector when fully fully seated.

Your cables do seem to have a smaller gap than mine however I cannot get mine in any further and I seem to not be suffering any performance issues. My guess is just some minute manufacturing tolerances with the pin lengths on the cables. To be honest I hadn't even noticed this tiny issue until HiFlight mentioned it. For me anyway the cable is still very secure and I don't see any real issue. If you are having polarity issues then maybe your cable is defective.
