Hello all,

The selloff continues, although my housing search has slowed due to deciding I can't really afford to buy a home in California right now anyway.

I have available a T+A Solitaire P. Like new, comes with an extra set of ear pads and an Arctic Silver cable, as well as all original packaging and accessories.
This headphone has gotten a lot of traction recently. Retail is over $7000 and this is the lowest asking price yet so value is good. People say that this has better-than-TC subbass and I agree with that. The headphone is so low distortion and so extended on both ends. It has an extremely effortless, electrostatic-like sound (but with godly subbass), well balanced from top to bottom. It plays extremely well at low volume too. It does have SOTA resolution. In these respects it puts other flagships like Susvara and even TC to shame. AND it is very efficient so it doesn't require an unobtanium amp to power them. When I got this headphone it made me rethink my entire setup, what I'm looking for, and even what it means to listen to music. They are very comfortable and good to wear casually while working, gaming, or watching email, which I can't say for most TOTL headphones. Cliche but they really make me hear things I never heard before, they peel back the layers of a song like an onion. They have decent hit, especially in the subbass, but won't knock your socks off or blow your eardrums, but especially they are extremely well controlled, well separated without being too much so to remove the musicality (like for example Focal Utopia in my opinion). This headphone has a very refined taste. Hearing this headphone made me okay to sell the TC which was untouched for years and keep exploring. I tried this headphone due to reports of the godly subbass and low-fatigue, which are a couple of my most-prized qualities in gear, and it lived up to the reports.
But, I shouldn't have made the purchase as I do need the money. And, sometimes the sound is more delicate than I would like and this high-efficieny, low-distortion headphone doesn't particularly benefit from my admittedly high-power, high-distortion electronics (bass shelf EQ, R2R DAC, and massive tube amp). I'd like to try it on some other electronics but I don't wanna deal with that.
Anyway I think it is a truly revelating headphone and I recommend you to read the thread! In many ways it is the most complete overall package on a summit-fi headphone.

I am open to offers and trades. Shipping and Paypal fee included in asking price.

By the way, I'm also selling my Ampsandsound Nautilus and Cambridge CXC transports.

Thanks for reading.

Sold at $3450 shipped! Thank you everyone. I was surprised at all the interest and speed of sale this time.
That was an amazingly low price. Plus it had the UW pads and arctic cable. Must have took a substantial financial hit on that sale.
