Sad to hear that stocks are going to run low on the Alpha Dog and Prime headphones.
I've had these for quite sometime and they were my set of favourite headphones for the duration.
Over the last year, i have had to part with the headphones (along with other audio equipment) to fund for my dad's ongoing medication/operation and to get by.
I can still visualize the sound and how it certainly brought certain darker days, brighter and when i had no outlet to let it all out, i would listen to some heavy metal or rock.
Having read through some of the comments here and knowing that some of you have found joy in finding it makes me happy that this magical set of cans has found its way into other
appreciative ears as well.
I still remember getting it a few months of its release with the stock cable. Excitedly, i plugged it into my amp (which is also gone btw
) and instantly it brought a smile to my face. Long
hours of work was more bearable knowing that something special was waiting for me when i returned home. After burning it in, the sound was even more open and details were more
apparent. It had the bass presentation and soundstage that i yearned for in a pair of closed headphones. This was something that spoke/sang to you, not a mechanical pair that just did its
job. I was even excited to find that there were new cables (DUM) and new series (Prime as well as Ether) released although i wasn't interested in the new series but i was interested in the
cables. Letting it go was the toughest decision i could make but it has now found a worthy owner who appreciates it and that is also good.
I know that i might never make it in time for the remaining stock with the DUM cable with the little savings monthly (if any) that i have. Still i hope those who might be standing in the
middle thinking about taking the plunge, do so, its worth it.
