FS: M3NTAL needs a real life

I wanted to get this started before I get cold feet again.

It is going to take me some time to update with prices and condition. Feel free to send offers in the meantime. Everything will be priced very fairly. I will do my very best to include every item that I have for each product. I do a fairly good job at keeping packaging for the bigger ticket items. Some of the Chinese products I will toss their junk.

Just for clarity - I am NOT doing behind the scenes bid-wars. I just have to soul search on some of these items, or find them and look them over fairly.

Shipping will be from PHX, AZ and will more than likely be delivered in whatever method makes sense for each item. Only CON US for right now. I'm not sure which method is best for payment anymore, but I have PayPal and Zelle forsure.

Thank you all for helping me along the headphone journey. Many of these headphones were purchased with the 'help' of SBAF. I know we aren't the ones to drop headline news, but the S/N ratio on new products is always great here.

Prost, M3NTAL

The days of March 12-25, '24 - I will not have access to internet or any of my gear.

Ear Monitors:
Campfire Audio - Andromeda CK: Black Friday Edition *B-Stock only exclusive colorway) $666
Etymotic - (ER2XR) $50.00
LetShuoer - (S12 Pro) $donated
Ucotech - (RE-2) $50.00


Headphones:
Enigmatic Audio - (Paradox) $250 or trade for something in-ear/portable. These are not the "Slant" model. Started life as a T-X0 and has become a Paradox (single-ended 3.5mm entry)

Spoiler

Sennheiser - HD 800 $800) SDR + partial internal cup dampening #545) HD800 has touch-ups on the paint. I need to take care of one before I feel comfortable selling in the condition I try to keep things in.

Spoiler

Amplifiers:
Schiit Audio - (IEMagni+) $50 or trade for something more portable. The reviews it gets are not fair. It is still a great amplifier - is it the best for IEM's only, nah, is it the best pre-amp, nah, but in the grand scheme, these are 'better than your dad's setup" by a long shot.



Redacted Items

Spoiler

Moondrop - (Blessing2) $150
Light Harmonics - (GO2Pro ∞) $100 - Red Anodized Aluminum version
MassDrop - (Noble X, Planamic) Both for $XX
Ultimate Ears - (Capitol Reference Monitors) $xxx & I will have to remove my name from some items I believe.
Sony - (Linkbuds) $35
Symphones - (Full Metal Magnum V4) $350 Aluminum cups staying for the day someone makes a grado prestige level driver for them.
Tanget/Morsel - (PPAv2) $150 - Alps Black Beauty in this amp. Ugly lookn' amp @dBel84 'made' me redact for now.
ECP x Beezar - (Torpedo III Maxed) $850 dumb to list this.

 

As expected - the HD 800 has been spoken for.

 

If you see a price of an item you are interested and think the price is flubby, feel free to post in here so I can get things more in align. I don't know market on half this stuff anymore.

 

Woot! Buy it here from a good dude!

 

Holy cow, a Paradox is unobtanium these days.

 

A nice review of the Paradox. @purr1n and Tyll get props

For those who don't know the history of the tangent /morsel amp from the days of Headwize. This design is what kicked headphone amp development into high gear and is the foundation of many amps still being developed today. It is an excellent design, still worthy from an audio quality perspective and a cool piece of headphile history..dB

 

Here are the ER2XR and LetShuoer S12 Pro.

I've figured out the question to my own post.

 

S12 pro is no brainer nice deal great iem. GLWS !

 

Agreed, and given the Alps RK40 reputation and current prices you are almost getting the amp for free.
