Got email from 'Cherry' saying my Compass shipped out this morning and I have a tracking # via DHL ... still in Hong Kong ...
Good news , for sure seeing as how they're probably swamped with orders at this point eh ?

I've been reading this thread since Christmas and I've managed to resist placing an order.

Until now.

There goes remains of my willpower and I can't wait, I just need to decide whether it's worth updating my headphones.

if your headphones consist of only the sr125, e2c, and PFE...then i would suggest you do so. However, you should be able to notice a difference when you use the compass. Just not as much as you should compared to if you had better headphones.

Peete.



I have had to report you to the forum admin pete because you continually failed to believe me that I was not andrea and you continue to accuse me.

Look at how others have 'joined in now'. You are tarnishing my reputation for something I havent done.

I've been putting it off for too long anyway.

Cheers for the advice.

OK so I got everything in order and am ready to buy I just want to know if I should send an e-mail before the buy because I want to get all 3 OPAs or how I go about ordering the extra 2 with my order.

You should do this anyway to be safe and get an official final quote. But yes, tell him you want to buy the compass, plus the Sun and Moon OPAs. They will send you back a final quote.

Yes by all means, lay out exactly what you would like in the order and then wait for the reply.

Peete.

EDIT : Either email address is fine zeroibis. ScottieB beat us both Zhirc

Both should be fine (I got e-mails sometimes from both address' when communicating with them), but because their PayPal-account is also the latter one, I would recommend to send it over there....argh, Peete was faster.

Hmm, it sounds like I've finally arrived to the zone of slightly weird signatures now (at least 210 -- 240 hours of combined burn-in). Listening to something already experimental like Autechre surely sounds more weird than ever before.

I did get my second Compass with lower gain today though. Starting burn in any minute

But for me it was so good that I ordered a second one, so I guess that tells something.



Great! I look forward to your impressions. What were you using with the A2000 previously?
