Sounds suspisiously low price. I paid 1500€ for mine, and while they were expensive, I feel they're worth every cent.
I mostly listen to rock and metal, and IMO TH900 fares well with them.
Yep, it seems the dealer cancelled the order even if yesterday I received a confirmation that the item is on stock. Even if the price is incredible, I will not accept to buy from an other source than Amazon. The order of the events was:
- I was searching for something else and observed TH-900 at 345EUR dispatched from Germany
- I was currently very happy with my T1.2 but still, who does not want to add this one to the collection
- I mailed the e-mail specified to be contacted prior to the order (something@shopmarkt.de) to ask if indeed the item is available and the price is the same as specified
- they mailed me back to appologize because they have problems with amazon servers (sounds a scam?), the item is available as the latest piece at a max discount price, is new and includes all accesories and that if I reply with my name+address they will reserve the item and then provide me amazon details to order
- I found a little bit suspicious the proposal and searched again on amazon, found it and order it directly via amazon (to benefit from amazon insurance and all)
- now I saw that the order was cancelled even if they confirmed the item, what to say, something sounds fishy.
I will wait to see what is the next step and I informed amazon support about the e-mail and facts. Let's hope everything is ok.
Anyhow, your advice is that the TH-900 are good for rock/metal, not too harsh and can be easily used with any DAC chip?
