Well its up to interpretation again.

I dont think there's an active agenda against u, but u really need to relook at how u convey ur messages. Dont follow the current gahmen leaders, citing misunderstanding and stuff :vijayadmin:

I tried to be civil initially, whereas some people just tried to put me down for whatever reasons. To me, I am a highly competitive person, therefore I rarely back down from arguments unless I really screwed up somewhere. I treat people how they treat me, simple logic. However for those who cross the line, then I don't see the need to hold back any aggressive statements.

To be honest, relook and read it aloud

Sound matters more, listen gao gao first and don't go for the cheaper one later you don't like.

The first part seems fine, then u made a reference not to go for cheaper one lest he doesnt like. Maybe removing 'and' and rephrasing it to pricing doesnt necssarily reflect the performance/preference..

Idk man, my language sarks big time but i thought ur line made certain items absolute :s22:

Ok for this part, you pointed out that my message could be unclear to others, I do agree with you on this part. Thats why I clarified it in my later post that a cheaper IEM does not necessarily warrant a purchase.

Usually people have the mentality to lean towards the cheaper item, I didn't imply that cheaper means lousier, or being expensive means better.

TBH, 8A and 8C isnt considered cheap since their RRP is at least $1.8k. Its just that the discounts make one model looks cheaper than the other. And both are supposedly sound similar with some minor differences, to those that had heard it.

Comparing 8a and 8c.
If you prefer a more gao and lush sounding mids the 8a is better. But after wizard left heir, i am not sure if the 8a still sounds the same.

If you prefer something less gao and more air in the music. Go for 8c.

Shall see whether i will like the new 8A or not... Treoo's set is from 2014 de, so it should be after Wizard left.

But both bass are good?
