From what I recall some 2399's (not sure if all?) use the same plates as the 5998 but otherwise the differences are unknown to me.

I think it's an unwise leap of faith to assume your entire readership knows this much back-story.

We're going to have to check Dinny into DAC-rehab.

Yuin G1A's, my venerable KSC35s appear to be on the way out and needed new clips for the office.

I dunno, I read the review and the general gist that I got was that the DacMagic wiped the floor with 25.2.

Andy Sandberg?

Mowed, soldered, mowed, soldered, drank some lemonade. Now I might go for a jog with Lily.

He's a braver man than I, that's for sure.

Listen to it, don't break it Dinny.

Go to Westone's site and see if you can find a local authorized dealer, maybe that'll point you to some different folks?

That's absurd. The local places here charge $25, it'd be worth the gas for you to drive up.

Regardless of the comparisons made the rarity of the HE60 isn't going to change and as long as they remain well regarded (which I don't see changing) I see no reason to think that their "value" will change substantially. The only thing I can see changing it would be if Senn introduced a better, similarly priced (~$2k) stat headphone.

I don't see HE60 prices dropping any time soon. I really wish I'd snatched a set when they were selling for less than a grand. Oh well, 20:20 hindsight and all that.

My vote would be imagineering for the pcbs. I wouldn't cheap out on the boards, it seems penny wise, pound foolish to me.

If you need help dimensioning dwg's or dxf's just drop me a PM, I'm CAD fluent (in the 2D world anyway). I'll try to look at the panels later.

You're clearly misunderstanding the point of my post by making the above comparison so just let it go. You don't agree, that's fine.

Jack, you should be able to get a few free empty boxes from your local cigar store. Play up the fact that you're building up a collection and need them for your humidor.

Happy Birthday!

Find a good pair of 5998s and the most neutral input tube you can lay hands on.

I think it's well within my right to think that buying a community offering for the sole purpose of immediately flipping it for profit is weak. I should have included the for profit part in my original post, if resold at purchase price (even adding additional shipping) would sit fine with me. But I suspect that we're less than a few weeks away from $800 HF2s.

Ditto what others have said Doug, great work there.
