I am okay with keeping my pair in it's current state as the control set...

...so long as they are fixed to actual tuning if it is decided that something is wrong before they are returned to me.

I'm up for this. Seems to be the most fair way to go about it.

I for one am more than willing to give Dan the benefit of the doubt. Shit happens. We all know murphy's law strikes often with many of our favorite vendors. The Internet tends to amplify things too.

P.S. BTW, I'm glad you guys are keeping things civil. Let's not get mean spirited about this - not that we would.

I have a different suggestion, that I feel will be fairest for everyone. Marv, come down to our shop after hours with your rig and the phone in question. We can not only test it, but pull a couple from inventory. You can pick them at random.

You can also see part of our "DIY" operation.

EDIT: You will also be able to see the performance on our systems.

Don't forget to take backup with you, Marv. You never know with the Audio Industry.

Dan,

What's the problem with judging based on the current pair? You fixed it, so it should be fine.

Unless A-Dogs really can't be upgraded to A-Prime. Sometimes things just don't work even when you do your best.

The whole problem is that it appears I did NOT fix it. :-)

But when charging $400 for the upgrade, I am sure they can afford to just put in a different driver if the upgrade just won't work with the existing driver of the Alpha Dog being upgraded.

If the headphone still has issues it will be replaced. I have a "lemon law" that anything that has two problems gets replaced. It doesn't get used much, so that's easy for us to do.

EDIT: That said, I really want to know what went wrong.

What makes you think there's something wrong with this pair?

Because everyone who heard it said it sucks eggs.

So I guess the answer is polite shift to "no". Hmmm.

That's a polite shift to "I think this is more fair."

Testing will be done with Marv and I present and the test systems will be accessible to both of us, as will the headphones in questions, and we can directly compare results.

EDIT: I appreciated your suggestion, but I think open, fair and transparent testing is best for everyone.
