Is it a glorious time for me to be getting into HiFi right now, or is this my decent into homelessness...

Let me put it this way, if you live near me, I`ll share my bread. Forget peanut butter though...can`t afford it.

Yay, Just in time for this 

 was actually eying on the rosewood E-MU but I think I prefer the THX-00

Perfect timing

BTW, You guys who get to work with your headphones on are so lucky. I'm jelly.

Going to buy, can't resist this. Probably sell my current thx00.

Are there plans to bring other types of wood cups out?  (I'm thinking rosewood)

Guys, anyone who want to tune and tweak their Fostex XX models (X-00, Purple Heart, Denon, EMU-Teak...etc). Here, I created a thread for simple mods and so affective that I think Mose of you will enjoy them a lot. Check it out

And...OMG Wills...what have you done ? They look drop dead gorgeous.....like a little brother to TH900....Ghost!

I'm in for the purple, just contacted support and asked for the change. Waiting till August now is going to be hard

Is to just me, or does it not look purple in the pictures? It looks more like a deep red.

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

 

[TWerk]

Lol, you can make a frankenphone!

Loving the colour

I don't care for the retuning on this one but it's even prettier than the original. Beautiful to look at. Thumbs up!

Isn't that right ? My wife won't be happy about this, but I think I love it. Authentic wood Red color with purple Hue and fibers, it look even better than Fostex TH900 with those fancy silver foil bits. Also, isn't Purple Heart an exotic wood species as well

Nice try but surely you have to join the drop first before contacting support?

From Will's post announcing the purpleheart:

Well good news folks. Because this is the first time a situation like this has come up (where we’re releasing an alternative version of the product while customers are still waiting on the original to ship) we’re giving all participants of the last TH-X00 drop the opportunity to switch to the Purpleheart if they so desire.   If you want to get in on the purpleheart, join the drop, go to your transaction page, find the TH-X00 Mahogany transaction, and click "Contact Support".
