I am not sure if my supplier wants me "outting" them because they have not officially started taking orders but it is listed for sale on Todd the Vinyl Junkie's website among others.

Edit: Sorry Tom Todd.

Did you check with Todd's parents to see if they approved his name being changed to Tom?

Very interesting, Seems the list price is official, seems it's a month away from being offered commercially. So what is the beta about?

I mentioned it on the beta thread, but that program is really an Early Adopter opportunity.  If these are going to publicly available for sale in May, there seems to be almost no chance that anything the "beta testers" report can be incorporated into the production headphone.  It's almost as if HFM is selling their prototypes and calling it a beta test.

I had read that earlier, but, until I actually saw the TTVJ offer, I thought maybe yes, maybe no. But now, I can't actually see what's Beta about it if the "testers" get it the same time as the general public.

I don't know about other "beta testers", my impression is that it was the same as the general warranty being offered when it was offered officially. But I didn't check, impulsively went in. We'll see how this all plays out.
