  Both NAD and KEF are Paul Barton designs so could be similar signatures also.

 


You sure? It's new to me.

Sorry,was referring to the headphones only.

  I don't suppose you're gonna regulate what he does with his headphones now are you? If he doesn't like the headphones and is able to sell them off at a higher price, more power to him. I suggest that he put them up on eBay. There's a better chance of him finding a good price there.

 
Thanks for stating the obvious.  Case close and move on.

FYI its against the TOS on the F/S section to make a profit off of fellow head-fiers I think. They especially mention black Friday sales. Just wanted to throw that out there. But yeah its a free country and he would recuperate more at other venues

Thanks for the info, RedJohn. 

 I'm glad you took your time to be informative, unlike others who would rather take the ambiguous and passive aggressive route.

We need to stick to headphones and headphone deals. This thread has had enough trouble already.

Sold by EBISU&CO. and Fulfilled by Amazon.  $181 w/free shipping

Not a bad deal for a 4 driver BA IEM.

  looks like the Koss esp-950 (planar) cans are going to be a lightning deal on Amazon in a couple of hours.

 
Just curious, how can you tell what's coming up as a lightning deal?

Also, the ESP-950 are not planar, they are electrostats.

Kind of shocking they would put ESP-950's on a Lightning Deal!

Respectfully, if you never seen a graph on these would you know about the ringing?

Yep, because I had them before the graphs came online, the week they were launched.

If you don't mind open-headphones that do not noise isolate, you can find the open planar magnetic HE-400 at less than $250ish open box/used and $300 new.

The only issue with that is I did try out the HE-300's that I got on their Black Friday deal last year for $149 and they were so huge on my head that they actually leaked more sound than I had incoming sound.Crazy but true,otherwise a great deal.Shame the He-400's are such a great deal too cause I would certainly jump on those.

Anyone tried these, etc?  Is it safe to assume that most quad-BA IEM's will have a similar sound signature or not really?

I have not tried these.  But I would say that it is not safe to assume that most quad-BA IEMs have a similar sound signature. Tuning and drivers can change the sound quite a bit in my experience.

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

I think these are warm sounding. There's a few read on the forum on them. Plus not sure how great of a deal those are even if there's a price slash, best to look around.

Thanks, I did some further reading and I don't think these are for me.  Now I'm kinda bummed I missed the RE-400 for $50.  Are they worth the current sale price of $80?  I don't know that the Deals thread is going to bite on the $80 one when they were $50 a few days ago... but they're supposed to be good even at $100.
