Wow, finally an announcement ! Well, I am from Asia and more or less I do understand about how and what Asians and China culture is about. However, to states that in Asia, official winner is not announced is only under one circumstances, and let me keep it to myself as we know what I am talking about.Hello all. I can confirm Edwood was the winner, a bunch of liked answers were printed then a member of staff picked the one they liked, with no names showing. It was his. So I get that people were unhappy it wasnt announced, sorry but it seems to have been one of the, things are done slightly differently in China issues. So, we are sorry if anyone was upset by there not being an official announcement about it.

With all due respect that is complete and total utter nonsense... China (East Asia) in fact DOES NOT work this way at all. Actually, quite the opposite when it comes to business and easy marketing! You made an official announcement and forgot to conclude it as accordingly...so you and your company professionally messed up... simple as that. Shame on you for trying to disparage Asian business culture as such. Very sad....things are done slightly differently in China issues.
Yes, he might have been page 42 but he was the very first one to "like" the initial announcement post! I believe that was the ultimate deciding factor and probably a fair one.Not that I am sour, bitter, or the likes, but IF Edwood is in fact the winner it doesn't sit well with me. He personally talked to the folks at HiFiMAN at the LA CanJam (before the contest), and in my books that is highly suspicious, especially given his not so great reason (actually it was pretty poor) and late(ish) entry on page 42 as to why he deserves to win. I smell a something fishy.....
I am going to hold off any congratulations until I officially read it from HiFiMAN. Like many of you, it would be a slap in the face if Edwood announced his own winnings, and if that is indeed the case shows what type of campany HiFiMAN actually is (especially given my above comment).
Then again, who knows... my 2 cents.
This cheerleader contest has been over for 24 hours. Only one lady knows that. That's the way it's done.
Eeeeh, the very first one? When you're on top of the likes list, that means that you're the last one. But I guess you were just kidding and 'Naive' is my middle nameYes, he might have been page 42 but he was the very first one to "like" the initial announcement post!

Yes, I was playing a little there but I do imagine that any names linked to the first post would certainly aid in being selected in the end as I have to admit it is such a huge thread to deal with.Eeeeh, the very first one?

Although I have my own thoughts/feeling about how this content ended: congrats (and happy listening) to the winner!
