Can't wait for the impressions!

Yes, payment processes immediately. We will monitor the backlog to make sure we can fulfill orders in a reasonable time, at which point we will switch to a wait list, if that is needed. As we get closer to ship date I will post eta for shipments based on the week ordered.

Heard this at CAS4 this morning... and I largely concur with Judes impressions from the video. Something amazing, various listeners compared parts of its presentation favorably vs that of the Abyss a few tables over.

Ohmahgerd! Hope you can chime in with more detailed impressions later W

What colors do we have as options?  I also would like my brass bars powdered coated black if possible.  I'm happy to pay the extra $$.

I'm very curious to how the sound can be so different to the ooriginal Fostex when the drivers are the same.

Is it really worth the 500 dollars difference. Man, I wish I can audition them!

 

[PanamaHat]

Dan, you the man. Wondering how many order have been placed considering this thread is blowing up.
Curious, as I'm sure it isn't a trade secret, but does the alpha dog still have internal damping or could you achieve the sound you wanted with the printed ear cups alone?

 

[alv4426]

thanks for the preorder update guys. I guess ill wait until I see if options I'm hoping for become reality. I'm guessing well know everything by Sunday.

I like my maddogs, but I'm a little concerned with the longevity of printed materials compared to conventional materials for a mass produced product. I wonder if Mr Speakers would be willing to provide any information on the materials he's using. Company he's buying from, mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, shear strength, cylicial stress test data, etc...chemical properties, ability to withstand uv exposure....all that good stuff.
 
Also test data of how many cycles of the bass setscrew can be expected before the threads wear, strip, or cross-thread. I believe in the video the set screw was metallic. I'd think it should be some sort of nylon setscrew to prevent the screw from tearing up the cup's threads. Just my 2 cents.

 

[mrspeakers]

Sorry, no we won't provide that info. What I shared earlier is as much as we can disclose. Much work goes into selecting the right material so this process produces quality durable product. You need the right printers, the right plastic and the right post-print processing. This took a lot of work for us to get right...

 

[PanamaHat]

I believe he stated that in a single long-term stress test the stock fostex headband gimble gave out before the earcups. He's using a strong industrial plastic

 

[HiFiGuy528]

I want the cups painted in Ivory. That would look retro.

 

[mrspeakers]

We are offering only the metallic claret. I know there are millions of nice colors, but in order to produce a quality product at a reasonable price we don't want to get into death by options.

Interested. Looking forward to what you have conjured up Dan. Any chance we can see a demo or loaner up here in the Pacific NW brotha?

What do you mean ? Because considering your own graphs about the paradox it would be hard to make a more neutral headphone

Not really. The Paradox actually is recessed in the upper mids and graphs show it. (dip in 3K region)
That was the main difference I heard between my Paradox and HD800 which is more neutral in that area.

If there is an upcoming meet and I can make it I will be there...
