according to Will, you first jump on the purpleheart drop then contact support on the mahogany thx00.

 
Ah thanks for that info. I was holding off, grabbed a pair now.
Glad i didn't miss out

Is it possible to cancel an order for refund on mahogany X00 even though I wouldn't join the purpleheart drop? (Just considering different options.)

Mean while my spare drivers has arrived . Fostex is addicting

The guy that has actually heard these is saying on the massdrop page that the sonic differences are barely discernible, I am not sure what to do now. To buy both and try them or just jump on the Purples (which imo take the cake lookswise)
 
If they only charge the difference if you swap over it would save a lot of headaches with refunding. I am from the UK and paid by paypal, I have had paypal refunds take 30 days before. By the time I would have the refund it will nearly be May anyway...
 
I have contacted support enquiring if they could just charge the difference if I decided to swap over, if anyone gets a clear answer before me if you could post here I would be grateful

I didn't want to contact Massdrop, as I still want to get my X00s.
I was just considering to buy a second hand pair instead of waiting until May.
I thought, someone might have experience with this.

I know how Massdrop support and Head-Fi works, no worries.

You know what ? I think I am going to join this drop for the Chasis and the dang Purple Heart cups, then transplant TH900 drivers onto it

Wouldn't it just be easier to swap the cups instead of the drivers?

They're obviously going to sound very similar. Same drivers, same pads, exact same specs on drivers, just a different type of wood housing they're using for the cups. The description they have for them even tells you this - it's only measures a couple db's different in most of the frequency's.
 
The guy on MD verifying this shouldn't be a big surprise.

Yeah, but then you don't have the top of the line drivers in it....kind of like a Corvette body with a civic engine ?

If nobody listened to the X00's with the red cups, they wouldn't know, but since I see you now have spare th900 drivers, you might as well go balls to the wall

Agreed. The differences will be subtle. Probably not even audible by everyone.

Great Question!

I think its kinda funny how you are seeing several X00's pop up in the classifieds ads right now. Ironic.... the excuse people are giving is even more funny too.. You know they are going for the Purpleheart ones :roll eyes:

I don't know about that, with the Purpleheart's is more V-shaped signature, it's practically the TH-600 with wooden cups.
