Official EK statement - Nickel Plating Issues

[NaeKuh]

I would give Eddy a chance to make good on this.

Let him chase a supplier for a bit. My research didn't look like intentional cheaping out-it looked like a supplier that gives C110 electrolytic one week and reclaimed phosphor/copper alloy the next. It was the oddest thing ever.

You know what tho, this would answer a lot of the corrosion we were seeing in some of the pictures.

If the plating failed, and the copper wasnt pure, then yeah, i can see the results happening..
Also some of the blocks that werent performing correctly... yeah, if the copper was tainted, i can also see that happening.

oh man... this will shatter EK.

Because instead of voiding just his nickle blocks... we cant use ANY of his blocks...

Oh man... i wont say anymore on this..

OK...

If EK looks into the supplier side, and does find shenanigans going on from the supplier, I think we all owe each other an apology.

no..

not this time sparky...
If it comes out bad copper then it is going to be BAD for EK.

Why?

Because they spent all that money on "expensive and through" testing... and it didnt show the copper base plate itself was tainted.

Im sorry, isnt it included in every test to make sure your source is solid and pure?
Instead of picking several blocks at random, did they pick there best samples and send it over?
Is that really a test?


So if the copper is bad... no... this is going to be a VERY BAD SCREW UP on PR for EK.
And im talking Biblical proportions.


Someone who has a yamyamyam'd block send it to Kayin.
If he pulls 2 / 2 ... i dont care if even CalTech / MIT did EK's report...

Kayin b4 you go on the second block... run a control sample though, so you can make sure your setup isnt tainted.
