I don't get it.  (Probably because I haven't been avidly following all the minute changes.)

 

EDIT:  Oh, it's a whole second campaign.  Never mind.

What's interesting is the last update email I got essentially said "people asked us how to pay for extra shipping costs that they forgot to pay for, so we're doing a second campaign for that purpose", but this new campaign is essentially a duplicate campaign except "we're not going to be actively engaged during this campaign".

Maybe if you double fund it will sound twice as good?

Seems that way. You need to send them moar money. Now. Do it. They need it.

I'm glad I got my refund processed, that's all I can say

For those wondering, some of the prices remained the same and have some jumped. Fortunately, the USB cable held steady at $699.

$699 for 0.8m, $979 for 1.6m, or $1,399 for 3.8m. MSRP starts at $999.

What a bargain!

That got a ton of coverage in this month's Stereophile. Of course the lead time means it was all written before much happened. They sort of edged up to the real issues without really going there. Sort of props for that. It's more than most services magazines do.

 

The good news about the 2nd campaign is that we still can earn freebies by sharing the campaign. It's the same rules with the 1st one.

So the good news is that people can shill for them even more? How fantastic.

I've removed the shill and his posts, but left that response so that people can know the vendor is encouraging shilling, and factor that into any decisions made.

is that some kind of referral link?

The whole business model encourages shilling; it's disgusting.  

 

Justin, I do believe that it is a referral link.  The share URL is "http://igg.me/at/geekpulseaudio2" and the "x/number" at the end is probably his account.

Removed the shill's referral link as well...didn't think of that, oops.

i find this product annoying

We agree on that.  It's perfect for HF though, crappy product shilled by idiots... 

i thought its a $50k DAC for a few hundred bucks with everything you could ever want and endorsed by the wall street journal?

Are you sure that endorsement was not by The Ball Street Journal? Yo!

It looks good on the paper (provided they don't fuxxxor up the ES9018), but their discourse reeks of bullshit. Sure the DAC might sound great, but there are 5 others that do and don't take me for a sheep.

They reached their first stretch goals, and it will be officially come with a nice audiophile grade usb cable.

Does this link look familiar?  Hmmm, alpha215 and this dipshit... same guy?  Could the mods change this post so Mr. Two Accounts does not get any hits back to his IndieGoGo account?

surprise, surprise. if not computer generated my guess is that they hired an overseas company to do their "marketing". the referral links may be to gauge the success of each shill poster, rather than rack up some kind of rewards for an actual buyer.

Link and post removed.  Account banned.

 

 

Light Harmonic becomes ambitious and overwhelmed. They expand into new areas so quick. I both have good and bad feeling about this.

Good marketing strategy though.

 

China shill post.

Thanks, Nate.

 

Not surprised in the slightest, Justin.  He did not get very far in the Rig-Talk forum
