    Hi everyone!

    I got a little sidetracked with headphone stuff but have returned to the righteous path of speakers, so this stuff has got to go:

    Campfire Audio Vega: [/B]I ordered these the day they came out and have treated them very nicely ever since. They'll come with the original packaging and full suite of accessories. I'm very reluctant to let these go but as I don't have unlimited funds, my money will be better spent upgrading what feeds my speakers. Asking $1,000 shipped and my price is firm. - SOLD!

    I'm selling an LFF Paradox, red cans and hardwired with a balanced 4-pin XLR connector. I have recently put new pads on it and they're in great shape. There is some small paint chipping on the cans, nothing that affects the sound. Asking $400. - SOLD!

    I'm also selling an ALO Rx Mk.III-B. This is a balanced and SE portable amp that can drive full size cans very well. They will work with the Vega if you run them balanced and can put up with a some hiss when no music os playing. This is an older Rx model that is discontinued. It's an excellent solid state amp, one of the better portable units out there. This amp has a bass control knob that is actually very subtle and pleasing, adding extension and slam without muddiness. I originally bought this from @AustinValentine and have taken great care of it since the purchase. I'm asking $350 for the amp.

    HD600 with dyanamat mods. Originally purchased from @thegunner100, these are in great shape but could probably use new pads. Asking $215 shipped.

    Audeze Sine with Cypher Cable (and regular cable). I'm the first owner. All original packaging. $350 - Sold on HF!

    Empire Ears Spartan universal IEMs. $550 - SOLD!

    Also adding a black Pono Player for $200.

    Pictures available upon request.

    Friends strongly preferred. I will pay for USPS shipping, if you'd like UPS or FedEx we can work out the difference in shipping price. I accept Paypal gift, or we can do goods and services with the fees added into the total.

    No trades, thanks.

    Thanks for looking!

    Its been a while since we've had a paradox or slants posted. They will probably go quick! I'm interested but I'll let others go for it first.

    Yeah the Paradox is the most legit closed back headphone I've ever heard. I miss mine a lot!

    Yep.. IMO, it might have the most tonally accurate tuning of any headphone I've heard. Truly a mastering grade phone here.

    Weren't you supposed to sell me the mk3b when you were selling it?

    What cable(s) do you have for the Paradox?

    If I said it, I must have forgotten, but would be happy to give you first dibs!

    The Paradox has a hard wired 4-pin XLR. I have a short XLR->Kobiconn adapter to run it to the ALO. For you I can also throw in a short Kobiconn->3.5mm TRRS adapter so you can use a GO2a or GOV2+ as your source. That's generally how I listen to the Paradox, balanced out from the GO to the ALO and into the Paradox. Incredible sound.

    If I had my time again I would pair this Paradox with V2A (+/- the Rx) and skip everything up until I could afford Gungnir Multibit/BW level.

    Paradox kicks serious ass with the Vali 1, too. Modi Multibit+Vali+Paradox = SBAF throwback rig that still destroys a shit ton of planars these days.

    Don't know how I missed this? Did the HD650M unseat your HD600(D)?

    Hey @zonto!

    Yes, the 650 with the Jotunheim unseated the 600 for me. Before the Jotunheim the 600 reigned supreme, but hearing the incredible synergy with the 650/Joti made me a believer. I think with most other amps I'd still prefer the 600, but I don't own other amps so it's not necessary for me. :)

    Added an Audeze Sine with Cypher Cable. I'd rather not split them and sell the cable separately.

    Also added the Empire Ears Spartan IEMs, universals.

    Put the ALO Rx back on the table, including the package purchase with the Paradox. Come on people, this is good gear!

    Also I will consider some trades, updated the first post.

    I'm going to put these up on HF since I've gotten very few bites here, which is a shame because I really don't want to deal with HF. If anyone is still interested here, please PM me and I will honor the prices in the first post.

    The Slants have moar bass. This one is more neutral. Very accurate though.
