Used Deals Thread

If I hadn't just spent $1500 on several drivers for prototypes / scratch build for my headphone dev team I'd be all over it. My curiosity for those classic cans is less than my obsession with building new stuff. Do wish we had some EARS measurements for em though...

 

Super Rare Aiwa HP-500 ortho based on the 1978 original large driver Fostex T50. Awesome price and great condition for anyone in the Czech Republic. Buyer needs a Czech phone number or I would have bought them already.

also some of the most beautiful headphones ever made.

Sure! They’re so rare that would be awesome thank you

In case anyone is looking for a pair of Auteurs. These are the harder Blackwood and one of my favorite pair of headphones.

Mas ditto on that, this is the combo that brought me into the ZMF fold.

Used African mahogany Auteur auction on Audiogon. Currently just over $500, but 12 days left. Seller just joined, and no feedback, but I'm curious what these will go for...

Shoot - if that is a "deal" - someone PM me the same offer and I'll send you mine

 

They retail $250, I believe on sale half price on Drop now...Not a good price, or you're not a fan?

 

I think with the massive in-rush of new IEM's flooding the market and FOTM in that scene specifically, the Noble X is quite lost in all the mix. It's sound is tailored more for casual listening. I enjoy them, but they have gotten lost in my own collection.

My opinion on the price is jaded to begin with - I think all this crap overpriced. $100 was supposed to buy hi-fi and $500 was endgame. Only crazy cutting edge stuff dared to cross into niche land. But everyone is peddling their same-old as the latest & greatest and it's selling. Still yanking it to driver counts and configurations instead of proper engineering.

 

This is just too cool not to share. Looks like an unbuilt assemblage dac 2.0 kit NOS.

Another one... AMB M^3 two chassis build. Same guy has a y2 with lps for sale as well.

I don't need this, but I need this. Do I make myself clear?

 

And sold...not to me.

 

The seller sent me an offer if $75 for this because I looked at it I guess. I’m happy to buy for anyone interested. Still kind of a lot for a headphone with no drivers though...
