TH-X00 Juicy tidbits!!! - If you purchased the original Mahogany, (according to Will) you can switch your order to the Purple Heart!
Here's the 4-11 from Will himself:
"Well good news folks. Because this is the first time a situation like this has come up (where we’re releasing an alternative version of the product while customers are still waiting on the original to ship) we’re giving all participants of the last TH-X00 drop the opportunity to switch to the Purpleheart if they so desire.
If you want to get in on the purpleheart, join the drop, go to your transaction page, find the TH-X00 Mahogany transaction, and click "Contact Support".
HOW MUCH DO THE TH-X00 PURPLEHEART COST?
$449 (includes free domestic shipping - Price increase is due to the cost of the more expensive wood.
There is a quantity of 1000 with a possibility of an increase to 2000
WHEN DO THE PURPLEHEART CANS SHIP?
Expected ship date: Early August 2016
(The TH-X00 takes 3 months to produce. They are shipped by boat overseas (4-6 week journey)
I LIKED THE MAHOGANY, WILL THEY EVER COME BACK?
There will be another drop for the Mahogany in May. Because there will be some people who decided to switch their order and go with the Purpleheart instead of the Mahogany, The Mahogany Drop in May items will ship sooner than the Purpleheart (according to Will).
OTHER THAN TYPE OF WOOD, HOW ELSE DO THE MAHOGANY vs PURPLEHEART DIFFER?
Via: Will from Massdrop
-----------------------------------------
How does the difference in Purpleheart wood impact the sound?
-----------------------------------------
Sub-bass (~50hz) through bass (~250hz) is increased ~2 db while following the same curve as the original (peak is at 50hz).
Lower midrange (~500hz-800hz) is decreased by ~5db, and where the Mahogany has a slight peak at ~600hz, the Purpleheart has a smoother climb from 500hz to 1000hz.
Midrange proper ( ~1000hz-2000hz) is essentially the same as the Mahogany.
Upper midrange (~2k-6k) is ~2db less throughout.
Highs (~8k-10k) are slightly more emphasized. Peaks and valleys are positioned differently than on the Mahogany, magnitude of peaks and valleys is similar.
Super Highs (~12k-20k) are more present. Where the Mahogany falls off at ~14k, the Purpleheart maintains presence throughout that range. This is something for the community to verify, but overall top-end extension should be improved.
CSD Graphs of the TH-X00 Mahogany showed some resonance at 3k and 6k, these mostly eliminated with the Purpleheart.
All of these are subtle changes, driven by the community’s response to the original TH-X00.
