I just watched a Sennheiser Orpheus sell on Audiogon for $32.5k that's a lot of money! It was gone in about 20 minutes this morning. Crazy.

Or they already have a nice car and want the best headphone rig available. Toys are made for every economic level, not just allowances.

It was removed right after the sale. It was two pair of headphones and one amp.

 
 
 


audiogon  does not remove items after a sale. i think maybe it may have been canceled. They list sales until the whole thing is done shipping and transaction as I have dealt with them for years. I have canceled my add and they cannot be found when you cancel. All sales stay on. Could be the seller canceled the add

32.5k? what a waste. Why not buy a high end speaker setup?


Why is spending 32.5k on a speaker setup not a waste?

Sorry, not in the least bit believable.

Sure it's believable!  Perhaps it was the same setup as ~6 months ago?  An Orpheus rig with 2 headsets was definitely posted on the 'gon for somewhere around $35k, and iirc is did actually sell

Especially since the original HEV90 was known to not be the best of amps to start off with.  I was told the Aristaeus was based on the HEV90 but with much better parts used (and less gaudy styling
