Sorry, have to disagree. The correct statement is "The guhong is not one of the best cube, until it is lubed"
IMO, the guhong is good even new, if it is lubed. alpha CC?

The cc if good, when lubed well, you can't really lube it "well" with lubix, cause of the thickness. The lubix help that sure, but i need to use maru, so that the lube can go evry where, what was hard cause of all the hollowness. And sorry for my mistake.
But there's a big diffrence between an brand new lubed guhong an a breaked in lubed guhong.

Ok, true. But if we are comparing apple to apple...new lubed CC against new lubed guhong. alternatively broken in guhong vs broken in CC. No mod.

I feel the need to clear some things up here.
Saying the ACC "sucks" was a bit harsh and I would like to take that statement back.
I remember seeing the first pictures of the cube way back and have been anxiously awaiting it ever since. I'm not saying that the product is bad (I stated several times that I think it's a decent cube before my emotional slip-up), I'm just disappointed that it isn't as good as I had hoped. Which is natural considering the prerelease hype of this cube that came from all parties, not just the potential buyers.
iCubemart sent me a "concerned" mail saying that they shipped the edge pieces that were missing with my cube. Even though we had agreed that it could wait till my next order (didn't want them to have to cover the shipping, I wasn't in a rush to get them). Now I feel like i'm putting them under pressure and messing with their business
Which was not my intention at all.
So, sorry to all.
To sum it up; the ACC is a good cube but just not the right cube for me it seems. And yes, I have been working the tensions
I have 25 odd 3x3x3s, so I have a lot of cubes that I am comparing the CC too. It doesn't have to compete with ALL of them, because it is better than most of them. But still, at least 5 of the cubes I own are plainly better than the CC. It doesn't "suck", it's just not the best cube I own in terms of suiting my style.
It's important that more people post their opinions on this cube so that potential buyers don't just go by what I and a few others think.

So how tight do people who love their cc's have them? I just can't seem to get it right. I have been trying all night

Decided to "mod" the centers because thats where a lot of the locking comes from i.e. the open slots on the sides of the center pieces catch the edges, and it failed miserably. I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with this cube. I tried every tension I could and switched screws, springs and washers to no avail. I rank this cube only slightly higher than an A2 and it seems a downgrade from the A5 to me. This really sucks considering I was super excited about this cube, but I guess not every new cube invention is a good one.

but really this is a great cube not the best in the world IMO but awesome. Some flaws like weird pops and turning corners is a little too easy but other then that awesome
