Where to sell vacuum tubes
Hi, I have a number of vacuum tubes I need to sell, and I was looking for recommendations on where to sell them. I'd rather sell them as one big lot somewhere, though I realize it might make sense to sell some of the other tubes (Siemens, Telefunken) by themselves. Are those tubes usable...- Steelratt

Why do no audiophiles listen to electronic music?
Sorry, forgot to address the "why". It's a newer style, though it is related to New Age, which I also listen to. There aren't a lot of audiophile quality recordings, though Hearts of Space and Windam Hill put out some very well recorded stuff. It's just not something older listeners are going... -
Why do no audiophiles listen to electronic music?
I listen almost exclusively to electronica, be it aphex twin or boards of Canada, on my system. Campfire Headphase sounds especially amazing on my Avantgarde Duo speakers. -
Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Just received a pair of 600s. Surprisingly good without dedicated amplification, though I need to get some. Quite a step up from the 580s. Much more comfortable than the Grade R2s.- Steelratt

So, I happened to get a Sennheiser Orpheus
Very helpful, thank you. I appreciate all the replies in this thread. This is such an expensive unit, I want to make sure I handle it the right way. I'm going to contact Sennheiser USA to find out the cost of refurbishment, then list it as an option in the sale ad. I wish I was closer to...- Steelratt

Yeah, that's a bit odd. I'm not going to use ebay to sell it, and there's a good reason why right there. Shady activities. Wish I could keep it though, beautiful looking and wonderful sound.- Steelratt

Thanks for all the input. It's going to get sold, I'm just debating if I should bring it to sennheiser USA first for a check up. It's running fine, so I'm not sure if it's needed, I just thought it might boost buyer confidence. It's a amazing sounding and looking piece, and I wish I could keep...- Steelratt

Pics added to first post. I wish I could keep it. Fired it up today, seems to work fine. Vacuum tubes are so elegant, he had a bunch of other vacuum tube stuff too (Mac, art audio), very elegant. Thanks for the suggestion about eBay, I hate them with a passion, and only use them for cheap...- Steelratt

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, the 30K seemed pretty overpriced. Any tips on the operation of the unit? Looks pretty straight forward, turn the key, let it warm up, listen.- Steelratt
