Todd the Vinyl Junkie is taking orders now, mine is the second set and they are shipping in March! might want to get in on this now before the rush, one thing is Senn is strict on pricing so your going to pay $1400.00 either way...

^^ thx

Damnation, I wish all those Senn fanboys would fuck off the boards while I'm trying to read my ortho threads. The server's too busy... with Sennheisers.

They should just lock that entire thread into memory so that it doesn't get swapped out.

Crap, crap, crap.

I figure screw it and I pre-ordered with Amazon.

Now there's bravery. I hope they don't suck.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that the initial reviews on Head-Fi will be pretty uniformly positive.

Not any more, I'm down to one set now and the 800 would need to be something really special for me to let these go

Even thinking such a thing would be blasphemy!

It'll be a review-bukkake-bonanza.

Thanks for taking one for the team!

I also placed a pre-order with Headroom. They are far more informative and expect the first shipment mid-Feb with Tyll apparently getting a demo pair at the end of the month.

I figure if they do suck I can still sell them within a month for what I bought them for In the end this is still a lot cheaper than my electrostatic experiment.

I have high hopes for their sound. And I don't think they're fugly. Just...not black enough.

They have to make them sound better than HD650, no? A lot of people love HD650, so I figure, the reviews from Sennheiser fans will be positive. When someone with O2 and BH gives them a listen and really likes when he heard, I will pay attention.

well they do look sonyish and that is always ugly...

who cares about looks, i wanna hear them!

I get more usage out of what was supposed to be a one-off joke.

Good job Billy, mine is the first set on Todd's list! Everybody should be going to Todd and Tyll to get these cans.

That's awesome, considering...well, not what it originally said, but what it was based on (the Fawlty Towers "Germans" episode). What did the Newman (?) one say, originally?

free two day fedex when i ordered from ttvj, but since these guys cant move on price they will move on shipping..probably all of them will. either way ttvj/hr/amazon will get them in at the same time as any other product does. i find it funny people think these are going to go down in price already...they were just announced and these people can tell me when price is going down? on a hand made flagship? hahaha

I was wondering who beat me,,,Damn you Voltron!

now it comes down to who is getting theirs first...hahaha

I agree order from ttvj or HR without a doubt!

"Don't mention the waughs." I assume that makes perfect sense if you're Australian.

It'll be a review-bukkake-bonanza.

Explain please. I only know the porn definition of that word, and then only because I have teenage nephews.

On second thought that's probably exactly what you meant.

the reviews will be messy and filled with wasted potential, maybe?

Sigmund would be proud!

I get free 2 day from Amazon and I did not discuss it with HR but I'll probably talk them into the same thing. In the end both HR and Amazon will give whatever price they end up selling for as I have confirmed with HR and Amazon has in their user policy.

I'm excited about these since I've been dying for Qualias and the look like they could be a worth replacement. As long as they didn't do the HD650 sound to them. But to be honest if the THD is as low as they claim then my correction will work so well it will not really matter. I figure then I can get rid of my 650s, D5000s and stockpile another pair maybe though there is no talk of them being limited run. That said the market for high end is not doing well and a lot of statement products are dropping out of production.

most talk would be how much burnin time needed first..of course
