Hmmm, my guess is that now that it's officially V3, he is going to bump the price. When I ordered mine it was presumably for V2, so I got the price all the previous V2 people paid. V3 was unexpected....
At $299 still think it's a really good deal, esp. if you have a decent Grado sitting around that you never use.
Website is out of date. When I ordered he said the full mod was not going to be offered anymore due to manufacturing difficulties.... also I believe the lite mod is still 249? Maybe it went up... it was 249 for me.
No idea. Best way is to email Rhydon, he's pretty responsive ime. Mine was a whole new cycle, and what ended being a new version (thought I was getting V2 2nd batch), and it ended up taking a few months. I'd be prepared to wait, but it could be shorter.
I like the A5s a lot, but they are a bit bright for my liking, and don't go low enough as well. I really am interested in the A7x, or A8x (uber loudness plz).
I did not have the V1/V2 Magnums, this is the first time I've heard the Magnum.
Source is USB Pico DAC to Sheer Audio HA-006++ (dynalo, gain set at 1) playing FLAC through foobar
other stuff I have:
-Smeggy Thunderpants
-JH-13
-Rockbox'd Clip+
-AKG K702 (ew)
-Sennheiser PX-100-II
-Adam A5 monitors
-Sheer Audio HA-006+
-Etymotics ER-4P
Stuff I have had:
-Grado HF-2
-Earsonics SM-3
-Beyer DT440
-Beyer DT880 32 ohm (briefly)
-Koss KSC-35
-Koss KSC-75
The clarity and soundstage on these Magnums is beautiful. I am loving them. They are definitely bassier than neutral though. I like it, though I think on some songs I could do with a bit less bass. Mental burn-in FTW hopefully
Very long, haha. There were definitely many delays. Though I have to say the communication was always good and he upgraded me to overnight shipping for free. I'm really happy with these. They are spectacular so far. I like them better than my JH-13's.
anyone use the jh-13 portably with the pico slim? line-out or just straight out of the HP port?
how big of a difference does it make? considering getting a pico slim myself to pair with sansa clip+ and jh-13
Magnum ordering has re-opened. He is only doing the Lite version this time, for $300 and of course cost of the Grados you want to mod. I put in my order with a 325is
Also said 3-4 weeks to ship out Magnum after he gets the Grados.
