Got pelican case for headphones finished, then discovered it was over the max 62 linear inches for checked bags, carrying a $100 or $200 fee each way. Got it thru this time though with no measurement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

accidentally set off my office alarm. fuck that is loud. anyone ever get the feeling that something is 'dripping' inside their ear when exposed to loud noises?

it is a niche market. there are also too many headphone amp companies now, because it costs little to start making them and doesn't require too much skill. it would be very hard to exceed $250k/year revenue per model for a >$500 headphone amp product. i think STAX revenue is only a few million $ per year? considering Beats has a 70% marketshare of the >$100 headphones, giving STAX a tiny fraction of a percent is about right this is all fine for a 1 man show to make a bunch of money, but dont expect to see headphone amp companies with corporate HQs with a receptionist and a marketing team and an engineering team anytime soon. though i would bet on Schiit being the first, their $99/each stack has gone well beyond Head-Fi by now

one could do the math, its not that hard. say a portable amp is new/"hot" and sells 500 units in the first year (for the entire world!), costs $100 to build and sells for $500. that is $200,000 profit on just 1 model. usually, this is where people could come in and say "The R&D cost!" generally these amps are the same basic circuit re-hashed in a new size or input/output feature set. tooling/prototyping costs may run 5k.
