For sale is a complete custom made chassis set for the Kevin Gilmore designed DIY T2. The chassis significantly simplifies the building process for the DIY T2. I have organized a number of chassis group buys over the past decade, and this was the last one. Other than the roughly 20 chassis sets...

The way I read it was #279-289 was supposed to be shipped LAST week. But maybe I am reading it too optimistically given that I am ks backer #290.

I am backer 290, so will be first to go in the next batch (finally!).

I believe they crapped out somewhere in the low 200s back in Feb/March. I am Kickstarter #290, so I have a ways to go - maybe before 2021?

In my experience there is no comparing ups with fedex and I avoid ups like the plague for anything at high value.

Have people tried netparcel shipping rates through PayPal? Usually some savings over walk-up rates. But you need a PayPal account and you pack it up yourself.

That is odd to hear given that the KGSSHV was the gold standard of electrostatic amplifiers prior to the carbon (other than the t2 and the bhse), and universally recommended to be paired with the 007.

sr007Mk2 has been sz3 since 2007. sr007a (the domestic Japan version of the Mk2) used sz2 serials for quite some time - not sure about what is being used currently - so is what you are saying in relation to the sr007a now also being sz3?

Fixed that for you, as that is only in relation to iterations of the 007a/007Mk2.

Actually, there isn’t really anything you can do to make the 507 sound really good. Unfortunately, it was one of their weakest. 207 puts it to shame.

Care to share which tracks (and format) and at which time you heard fingers on guitar strings with the Voce that you could not hear with the 009? Would be helpful.

That box has been heavily modified by an end user. What the white connector is for is anybody's guess - certainly not the HE90, or any Senn electrostat for that matter.

Yes, you should for sure change out the sr507 for something else before upgrading amplifiers - that one was a bit of a failure unfortunately.

You might want to try it without the tube preamp.

The "stax fart" is caused by the dust covers. It is a crinkling sound - are you sure this is what you are hearing? Which headphone are you experiencing this with? And what amp are you using (which could be clipping if you are forcing it to do things it can't)?
