Safer to assume 20%?

It got killed due to "unauthorized group buys" as per their TOS, which is pretty fascist even if you just skim read it. Essentially, HeadFi has no interest in helping the community unless it makes $$ out of it.

Rather disappointing as I think it's ridiculous that forumers can't get together to make a group buy using the site to coordinate, but apparently that is the nature of Head-Fi. Will make a post redirecting interested buyers here and see if that gets deleted as well.

I'm actually visiting London next week over Thanksgiving for pleasure David! Actually checked online maps to see if I could pick up my C4s directly while I'm in the UK, but apparently Glasgow is a 6 hr+ drive away from the airport. :)p18

Suppose I'll have to wait for it to ship like the typical American.

I know this is a group buy, but I wonder if orders can be made before Jan 15th... Currently am headphoneless because I sold off them all to fund this. And also interested in receiving this before my birthday. Ah...the wait....

Yes the link on head-fi has been removed, its no surprise even though the terms havn't been broken (only not allowed to not post external links to banned members) . nwavguys blog goes into some detail of what they can be like.

As someone in the UK, I've had my share of the highs and lows of ordering from China and from the USA, so it's nice to see someone producing high-end acrylic CIEMs in the UK, David!

As far as the nonsense you've just experienced on H-F, it comes as no surprise to me. I've long said that the owner of that site is an out-and-out narcissist, who seems to surround himself with 'YES-men' to collectively ride roughshod over the rest of us mere mortals. Ironic, because he appears to lack the intelligence to grasp the fact that without the mere mortals who use his site, there wouldn't BE any site, no sponsors, no advertisers, no income, no ivory tower...

No matter.

If the C4 performs well, you may be certain that plenty of us will mention the C4 all over that forum, so you'll have the last laugh  ;-)

Is there a minimum number of people needed for this group buy to go through

I think the min is 10. And we probably have more than 10.

I'm not going to lie it's tempting. I'm just paranoid if I do the leap of faith on these my ear impressions will be garbage and my CIEM  won't fit. That's why I haven't gotten myself a pair yet. Yeah I know I'm chicken :(

Correct! Just over 10.

However, a lot of people are on the fence. The bigger the group, the better.

Mr. Lefuf, may I ask, do these have user replaceable cables? For the act-of-god prone among us.
