anyone ordered senn plugs from jaben?

[tjumper78]

has anyone purchased the sennheiser hd580/600/650 connectors from jaben so far?
i sent a couple of emails in the past two months but no responses.
how much did you pay (in USD) and how did you order on their website?
thanks.

Why not join their forum and pm them? Seems they have problems with their spam filters and loses mail quite often.

Or you could try PM-ing the man himself here.

Lol, didn't know his nick here is that, that's what we call him in his shop. Well, learning something new every day.

jaben's forum confuses me, so i dont go there after the first visit.
i'm going to send him a pm, although i doubt that my email was filtered.
what kinda system would filter gmails?

the connectors cost

"Senn Connectors are S$90 per pair."

convert that to US dollars and they cost $63 for the pair.


Why not just wait for the cardas ones? They probably will cost next to nothing.

I'm guessing at least $30 for a pair

Sorry to burst your bubble man but I've been talking with Colleen Cardas about their Senn connectors for more than a year now and even have a pair of prototypes. I don't know what the exact price is going to be but know enough to say that they won't be cheap, nor should they be.

Define 'cost next to nothing' please.

darn...no $2 connectors? lol

I have a few sets of plugs from haven. They run around $75 shipped to the US.

The cardas plugs will be cheaper, but the cheapest solution will still be stealing plugs off a stock senn cable.

 

[fatman711]

when you steal the connectors off the stock cable, do you just cut the cables and connect the new cable to the short bit of the old cable?

 

[tjumper78]

just got an email reply from wilson.
he said "out of stock". no mention of price or stock date.
i guess i'll just have to wait.
