*cough*Campfire Audio*cough*How many limited editions are they going to squeeze out of this model?
I wonder how this would look in real life though since the TH-900 mock up images aren't the best renditions of what they actually look like.

I never understood why people fall for 'limited editions,' but there are all kinds out there.

The obvious reason is the white edition is the missing link. They put out red and blue before.I never understood why people fall for 'limited editions,' but there are all kinds out there.
Unfortunately I have no way to justify that green is my favorite of the TH-900s

No, if you are a patriot you have to ignore the green and complete the set. Same goes for Texans as well.Unfortunately I have no way to justify that green is my favorite of the TH-900s
I just realized something. Czech = Texas because the flag colors are the same.

Yeah there is very large Czech community in Texas and if you read the barbecue restaurant signs carefully you'll see many of them are Czech names.

I read somewhere Texas BBQ originated from Czech and Germans preserving meat? <-once again, totally related to the topic since BBQ and Texas, and Texas flag color associations.Yeah there is very large Czech community in Texas and if you read the barbecue restaurant signs carefully you'll see many of them are Czech names.
I preordered some BBQ. What was the topic again?

I love the pearl white as it reminds me of the snowy landscapes Stockholm and Edinburgh. It brings back great memories of visiting the Christmas market, getting a freshly cooked curry Bratwurst and mulled wine with my friends.

I think it is just the love of good food cooked outdoors over good wood. Nothing stays around long enough to need preservationI read somewhere Texas BBQ originated from Czech and Germans preserving meat? <-once again, totally related to the topic since BBQ and Texas, and Texas flag color associations.

Just couldn't resist the temptation. Already ordered mine with a Silver Dragon 4.4 mm cable. Really beautiful.
@MoonAudio any certain date for them to be shipped?

I don't notice any brightness on my new Sapphires. I also don't notice almost any V shape. These are so much better than my TR-X00.Sapphire is brighter, almost to an unenjoyable level.

Can't say I disagree with that but it's something incredibly common out of Japanese culture. Have everything limited edition, release pre-orders so your production costs and profit are locked in upfront. People who don't pre-order and try to obtain the item later are usually stung with higher prices on used items. Those people then are trained via negative reinforcement to just go in for the pre-order on the limited items.I never understood why people fall for 'limited editions,' but there are all kinds out there.
Audio Technica is far worse than Fostex at this. Looking at you Leatherheads / W3000anv and other very nice, unique pairs with no "standard" version like the TH900s.
And some people just like to collect. I have a TH900mk1 and was meaning to get a Mk2 so I could cable roll (aka go balanced) and don't have a problem with going for limited editions.
To each their own.

In my case I was about to buy them anyway, and I like the white look. Colors to suit every taste...
