The first ones I got cost $2 incl shipping but that was 10 years ago...Seems that some of them are going up in price a bit. LOL!
Also, Schiit will be releasing an amp that uses 8 of these puppies in the near future, so best stash up now.

Seems the the box anodes with square (dimpled) getters are becoming few and far between. Lots of cheap ones still out there from other factories and later years, but I'm assuming the square mica Fotons are the preferred ones.
Using this amp, can you switch between different drivers instantly, or do you have to wait for the different drivers to warm up?Thunder into the Abyss. Gets a big thumbs up from me.
Need to switch the amp off. Wait a minute. Then select different driver. Then turn amp on again.
Congrats. Will be getting mine soon to partner LCD4 and He1000se.
I've only had a few hours on the Abyss, but I think you'll find they compliment the LCD4 quite nicely. More thoughts in a few days. I've been keeping my eye on the local used market, and a pair appeared. Don't think I've ever purchased a new set of full sized headphones.
Thanks! But honestly it was just a quick snap with the phone.
It's probably not going to be better. Smaller footprint, different design, hopefully passes the WAF - as we'd both like this headphone amp in the living room. And I certainly don't have any more room upstairs for a 3rd headphone amp.

Mischa says 2.2 watts into 50 ohms with this amp (and says good job I asked for those massive 170uF output caps!). The Abyss are 47 ohms, so near enough.
