Perhaps a Clue???
I just ordered a pair of HF-2, and the shipping weight was listed as 3 lbs. Does that offer a clue as to whether the HF-2 might live in a SR325i-like Al shell, perhaps with an added sound chamber enhancement (like some ear-yummy wood)? I wonder if they have the SR225 standard copper or the SR325i / RS-style UHPLC coppper connecting cable?
The details aside (which I'm bristling with curiosity to know), given:
a) That this is another act of generosity and celebration with Head-Fi (coupled with how that worked out historically in the case of the HF-1 in terms of quality and value) -AND-
b) Todd's assessment (in the offering description on his website, having spent a good amount of time with it) that it is a very, very good headphone (coupled with the quality of product and the excellent "do unto others" treatment that I have received and have come to trust to expect from Todd)
- I go forward with only expectant anticipation, and no anxiety, confident that this is going to be one high-value, fine-quality listening instrument that I would not want to miss having in my collection (listening tool set).
This is a very exciting time to be into headphone audio!!!!!
Heartfelt thanks to all who have participated, contributed and just plain given and forgiven to make this offer to us at Head-Fi.
