Yes they do come with a bicycle and a bell. @angpsi buy this and get the bicycle.
Already paid for the bike, it's arriving on Tuesday! I'd get these too but there seems to be a 20% restocking fee which I'd hate to pay if I had to send them back...:dt880smile:
Come to think of it, the restocking fee is more than the price I got for the bike!!!

Yggy is 1 month 3 days 6 hours 38 minutes and 30 seconds since power up.....

Let me tell you the sound from my setup is mature now and aged like a fine vintage wine. It's like seeing a movie in a VMax and I don't mean Yamaha VMAX but the VMAX cinema. The scale is huge, like a grand orchestra. The details are more dense than a London's foggy day but they are clearly visible. If you have a craving for bass in quality and quantity, this is it. Feel like a good cardiovascular renewal? Listen to my setup and feel your red and white blood cells flowing smoothly and unhindered. It's time you get that detox and the price is worth it.

So the secret to this is... let me spell it out for you again.

Yggdrasil > Euforia (Sylvania 6sn7w + Gec 6as7g) > HD800.

If you buy my setup, the price is negotiable and you get a personally sign booklet by UT. I'm personally packaging this setup to sell in quantities to China's one billion population. Huge market there.

Priorities priorities Angpsi !!! The bicycle can wait. Your little girl will grow up and she will buy more than a little bicycle on her own..... but that Tung Sol 6sn7gt black glass round plates with metal base comes around once in every 600 years.....

I often find YouTube to be quite good.

Please ... a statement such as this will make you loose credence in an audiophile crowd such as this. Here we debate Hi-Rez, DSD, MQA, SACD, Pono (not porno), etc... then we debate more on golden fuses, tubes rings... USB decrapifiers.... exotic power cables....... tubes, tubes and mor tubes.

In 600 years we'll be in Elysium listening to real live harps played by the Angels...There will be more air, soundstage, bloom and dynamics than those TS can ever produce! Unless we live forever, and "Elysium" is going to be the name FA chooses for their statement amp at the time! In this regard, the TS may very well be considered a true bargain for the price! Btw, have I mentioned that my actual name is Angelos, which is "Angel" in Greek?

PS. I once had a friend who told me: "I wonder why would anyone want to end up in heaven; can you imagine the kind of music they'll be playing over there?" :beyersmile:

How about we all pitch in for them, and we can rotate them week by week :wink: That way, we can all still afford our bicycles.

Are you kidding me? The first one to get to listen to it, will disappear from the face of the earth, with a complete change of identity .... probably gone to live in Sao Paulo.

@Tim Le, do you actually own the Sonorous in your profile pic? How do they sound? At first I was intrigued by the incredible price of their X but since recently I was more intrigued by the favorable reception in reviews of their more affordable III. Made me wonder whether how it might compare to the HD600.

Get out of here.... if that's your name, mine is Marlon Brando and I'm the Godfather.
So that's how you get your bargain prices? Make them an offer they can't refuse?

And yes, my name actually is Angel: ang[elos]-psi[...] :angel:

I sacrificed all credibility when I listed "Lawyer" in my profile. Now all I live for is to one day brag I helped paint the Meditation Platform of the Temple of Supremus Reviewer.

What's the psi for? It's like I never understood what pctazhp means. I can understand connieflyer because that's Connie Francis nickname. And I can certainly understand UntilThen. And I can certainly undertand Oskari - it's Finnish for 'I do'.

I've never listened to the HD600, so I can't give you an accurate comparison. I did own the LCD2f and Sonorous VI at one point, and I decided to sell the LCD2f. Compared to the Sonorous, the LCD felt recessed in the highs and very recessed in the mids. Certain instruments on the LCD sound very hollow (think a bad electric acoustic piano sound vs a real acoustic piano). Being closed back, the bass was almost punchier and faster.

Honestly, the Sonorous VI is one of my favourite headphones.. but it's only 8 impedance, so it doesn't scale very well with gear at all. It sounds almost as good out of my phone as it does out of the Elise. On the contrary, my DT 990 (250 ohm) now sounds so much better on the Elise than my phone. It was this revelation that has led me to selling my Sonorous VI to upgrade to either the HD800 or Beyer T1.
