I hope Drew can come through with the HD800 for the meet, seems like there's little to no guarantee of stock by that time.

If I understand it correctly price fixing would be if HR, TTVJ and others got together to secretly mandate the prices of headphones. There's nothing that says a manufacturer can't set a price for goods.

jagwire is a lucky sumbitch if he ends up with the fruits of your labor steve.

Recabled and rocking out my friend (well, testing suspect amps at least). Steve, It's just back a few pages. I'll look and link. Edit - this is at least part of the story.

I think that Tom might disgree with Steve and Mike since he has, to this point failed to deliver what was ordered. Delivering broken or mismatched components does not count. If so, I have a pair of K1000's to sell, just don't mind the DT770s that will show up in the box. After all, they're both headphones.

I'm speaking out of turn but it's always been my understanding that the main chassis bits (the silver parts in those pictures) will be powder coated black in the finished amp. Regardless it looks outstanding Justin.

I'm not defending SAA, I think this latest offering is truly a "jump the shark moment", but prototypes of the HD800s have been around for years and SAA may indeed have had a sample to prototype with.

7"+ here an still going but if it's done by you Haj it shouldn't be too long before it stops here.

I'm sure there are folks in the US who would help folks out.

And he's buying some odd stuff. Why buy heat shrink and sleeving on Ebay?

Ian, that looks f'ing fantastic! I love the panel design.

Or maybe they just sound good and it's not hype?

Tom, I didn't mean for my question to sound accusatory, I was just curious if he'd slipped and actually admitted anything to you. It's not a very big leap to guess that he's having $$ problems although he's got a warehouse full of solutions if he'd just drop the price of some of his tubes or get his act together on that front.

Do you have anything to substantiate that claim, Tom?

Yes, there's a $25 Bluetooth remote that Sony sells that makes it function very much like any other DVD player.

Sorry to hear that Haj but yeah, you had to sign up for the playstation card before 12/31, I thought I posted that somewhere. Final price was ~$280 shipped which is a huge bargain for what it can do.

Buy? No. Rent? Yes, Netflix has already been converted and my wife and I watched Traitor last night (it was what we had) and it looked fantastic. And I downloaded a demo of MotoGP '08 last night so at some point today I'll get to see how high-def gaming looks on my TV.

Oh cry me a river.

No time fail. Not going to download games either, don't trust HD and it'd take forever. Situation will be rectified asap.

I don't own any games yet.

I'm probably just playing the role of nervous dad.

Move to the BH while you're at it. On a side note, I'm pleased as punch that the beta doesn't look out of place in a stack consisting of some pretty $$ gear.

Congrats Mike! And as long as you're not in for an all-nighter the beta should survive ok.

V2 pads in the house! And the T50s sound pretty good out of the Menace fed by the Buffalo DAC. I'm going to let the headphone rig pound on them for a while tonight to aid in the "loosening" process.

How does one know if they have v2 earpads?
