Positive Feedback
- Many people have been waiting for something international from you, looking good as always.
- Very nice work Geon!
- This looks so good!
- The design is nice, the mounting system is something I'd like to try and the pricing is solid.
- Cant wait to see this. 65 is too small for me but hopefully you release the F1 8x for international buyers in the future.
- This work is amazing. Really well done.
- The internals look innovative, will look forward to seeing the samples!
- This is such an interesting design, and I feel like the price point makes it a no brainer.
Negative Feedback
- I'm not gonna lie, I was disappointed to read that this was a tray mount.
- I'd be concerned that Kaihl sockets would interfere with the mounting posts.
- Cons of tray mount: tends to be stiff and inconsistent in both sound and feel.
- I can't tell if the flex toward the center is as much as the flex at the angles.
Suggestions
- Hot-swap options would be really nice.
- Add damping factor by leaving room for some foam/silicone padding.
- Include ISO support.
- ETA on few sound tests?
Common Questions
- Will the bottom of the PCB brackets collide with the case during normal use?
- Will the PCB support split-backspace?
- Will the PCB work with VIA?
- Can you add Alps compatibility to the PCB?
