Stax SRD7 with SR303, $200 Round trip ticket to Tokyo, $1000 14 hours sitting in baggage class with screaming babies... priceless!

Man, now I'm really pissed I found this awesome deal, Stax SRD-7 MkII plus Stax SR-303 for $200 and the fucker will only accept cash and local pickup.... in Tokyo! AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH. I even offered him lots more cash if he'd post it. Waaaaaaaaah, I want my mummy! :'(

Pretty much what I was expecting and confirmation of my suspicions.

So, tube buffers. I've read numerous opines over the years about how great/bleh tube buffers are and wondered who here has ever played with them and what you think. Are they the shit or is it just a phony way of adding some tube distortion in a way pleasing to some. From what people are reporting it seems like they can make a middling system better but can also mess up a better one. It's all very confusing to my pea-like brain, however it does sound mildly interesting.

Yep, fastest thread growth in history. Unfortunately it's about politics and politics sucks ass so I'm staying away from this thread.

Go for it. I'm hoping the other deal goes through and I'd want the bassy type anyway.

Cool, thanks. These are apparently bassy, stock and fair condition. I have another thing in the works so I'm waiting on the results of that first.

What's considered a good price for these? I've seen them going for upwards of $300 and I've found some for about $150. Is that a decent price?

Pah, you think that's bad. I bookmarked this to keep an eye on it with a view to buying if it didn't go too high, then this happened with over a day to go.... http://cgi.ebay.com/STAX-SRM-1-Mk-2-Headphone-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ200203586023QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200203586023

I find decisions are much easier when you're broke. I decide I can't afford anything and continue with my day. Not a single post in the 'last thing you bought' thread. *sigh*

I am so jealous I could spit..

A clear lack of SR-X is what I'm seeing here

Woah dude, that one from Agon? Nice, wherever you got it.

I like the 240 myself. Never heard a 340 yet though.

In English it means 'Nenso sucks big hairy donkey balls'

That would also mean lugging a monitor around. I'd have to go with laptops plus external drive.

I duuno, I think having exceptionally stretchy skin could be fun.

Aaaargh, my eyes!!!

I spent way too much time there trying to find diplomatic versions of what I really wanted to say but it's hard work and ultimately unfulfilling.

Freshly made from real clowns.
