mozartfan  Can't be 100% sure unless you audition them obviously, which I can't.  But, as I've intimated, I would trust Srajan's recommendation.

Jon is estimating turn around time.  I don't think he's done an upgrade yet.  He's a very straight up person/distributor, so I think once he knows what the turn around will be, he'll be transparent in letting us know.  Will obviously have a lot to do with volume.

As for Judge Judy, not sure what you're alluding to.  That I do the upgrade and am so unhappy I sue distributor/manufacturer and end up on Judge Judy to get my $1500 back plus original drivers?  Absolutely, she would be my first choice for resolution... 

As for Judge Judy, not sure what you’re alluding to

I’m sure Cube will be straight and honest/fair with its Neu owners in the manner they handle the upgrade. Its just that if you watch some of these petty court cases, folks trust the other party to the point of blind faith. Just saying.... You definetly do not want to be w/o music for more than what the agreements states. 14 days should mean 14 days OR LESS. Not 14 days + a few extra. If Cube was straight,, they could say, IF we can’t get the driver back to you in 14 days or less, its a 50% discount off upgrade,,Or something like that. This is my point.

 

That 14 days might just be a hopeful guess. Cna you imagine if it extended beyond 3,4, 5 weeks. Thats my reference to *Judge Judy*. Welcome to the real world which harbors a few surprises.

Stephen, interested to know your thoughts on iFi Pro iDSD Signature. Other reasonably priced dacs that seem interesting are Lab12 Reference and MHDT Orchid. I might be getting my hands on these? Would make an interesting separate thread I think.

toetapaudio  Yes, I will post impressions in a separate thread.  Have about 6 hours on it right now.  There are so many filters and combinations that I've hardly scratched the surface.  First raw impression:  GIANT KILLER, beware.

Here's how I see things as they stand

OK so you ship the driver off in the ~~hopes~~ of improvement in overall sound. 

Got it

A bit risky if you  ask me.

Lets say there si something(s) you like about the **new impvoed* cone,,but then, perhaps you find after some time, you miss the **old style* sound.

Now what?

REship back to have **old style* cone RE-intstalled??

I don't think so. 

Now ya got a  fly in the soup.

If DavidLouis told me, ship your VC8 and VX6 back for FREE reconing, and WE pay ship boths ways.

Our ~~New ~~ cone is so much better in bass.mids, highs.

I'd say, 

**Why? For what? *

I like the speakers exactly the way they voice now.

Just saying...

 

Cube is going to have to figure another option for its owners. 

Persoanlly if it were me, I wouldnt do it. 

1st off, they dont even tell us whats so special about the new cone materail.

have they gone to wood fiber composite now?

If yes, then yes I would ship back. I love wood composite

But if the  new looks darn close to the old, no I would not take the chance.
