^^ WOW, but I like the original color too.

Very nice looking Dan!

It's everything I wanted. Just stupendous. And low profile enough that I feel less likely to A) get mugged or B) have the wife figure out how much it costs!

 

[aamefford]

Looks nice. Very nice. I do like the maroon an awful lot though. Quit content with mine.

Maybe you can pull a th600 and price it a little lower than the red alpha dog?  

 

[dleblanc343]

Pretty sweet looking! I may need a second Alpha Dog now 

 or maybe I should be sane for once... 

 

[miceblue]

Woaaah, that's totally awesome! And I'm not even a matte-black kind of person.
I like it much more than the TH-600.

EDIT: Also, some good news: we are pulling in delivery estimates. Even though Jan was our best month ever, our new facility is really improving our output and we've been able to shorten lead time to under 4 weeks for the current Alphas.

I noticed that the screw in this pictures is easy to see, compare to the red cup.
I think this will help a lot of us to play with the bass port, and keep track of the screw. 
Nice work Dan!

I admit I was wrong cause it doesn't look boring at all.  I'll never touch one cause I don't know what kind of filth its hiding.

That looks stunning! Excellent job Dan!!!

I must agree... bravo, sir... bravo...

That's as great as I've seen for matte black. Well done.

Still, black is black and rather boring. BRG would have been cool, IMHO.

As mentioned earlier, got my upgraded Alpha Dog and some connectors today, so I went to work with the soldering iron:
 
* I cut the cable for the HE-500 about a foot from the end and added a female XLR, making an adapter.
* I cut another foot from the HE-500 cable and set it aside.
* I put a male XLR on the HE-500 cable, making it balanced.
* I took the extra cable and put female XLR and a TRS on it making a second adapter for the Alpha Dog.
 
And now I have a balanced-capable HE-500 and can listen to my Alpha Dog!  On that note, I'm off to do some listening...

looks like a nice job! i'll be doing the same thing with my d7000 and grado hf2. going to cut those at the ends and turn those SE plugs into balanced adapters. the d7000 cable is long enough that i'm going to cut another foot off and make a balanced to banana plug adapter to use with a couple of monoblock amps that i think might pair well with both the d7000 and the ADs. 
 
i ordered a pair of AD connectors that i was going to use to make a SE cable, but not so sure i'll do that anymore...
