Thanks for the reply solan. I checked the dealers and they do offer a slight 5 percent off. However due to the fact that I am located in HK. That means if I buy it that way. They only offer 1 year warranty only and build time is like 3 months. But if I order from Abyss, 3 years warranty at full price but 3 weeks build time only. Looking at maybe buying from abyss. Just saw at the checkout that there is a coupon code, just curious if someone had a code as to help out. Thanks anyway.Not that I know of. But the dealers sell at the same price as the Abyss website, so you might try asking a dealer instead.

Sure, but all of the parts I have made are still in testing and they have to be seen as prototypes. I am not a CAD expert nor do I have prodct development knowhow. When I am 100% confident with the parts, I will also publish the files here so you can edit and print for yourself. If you are already interested, I can send you the files via PM.Can you show us the frame protector you've made?
This is the frame protector:
It holds quite well, but can be still improved. I have some ideas but not so much time But I will continue on it. The printed parts are printed on speed settings:
Thanks for getting back to us.. looks awesome.Sure, but all of the parts I have made are still in testing and they have to be seen as prototypes.

This is needed for anyone that wears rings... The finish is very easily marred by my wedding ring if I don't pay enough attention when adjusting the toe in.
Maybe divorce as a solution to that? Or eat more. I gained too much weight to wear my wedding ring... Oops..Thanks for getting back to us.. looks awesome.

You should find a better dealer. I'm a little tired of saying so. Ha.Thanks for the reply solan. I checked the dealers and they do offer a slight 5 percent off.

I purchased from a dealer and my headphones were shipped directly from Abyss. If you use a dealer rather than Abyss all you need to do is go to the Abyss site and “apply” for the three year warranty. Here’s a link From Abyss which explains it.Thanks for the reply solan. I checked the dealers and they do offer a slight 5 percent off. However due to the fact that I am located in HK.

Hi,
Wondering how you transport if needed your TC, something convenient?
Thanks

Did you ever get confirmation from Abyss that they accept the warranty registration? As the last step of their online form they say they will contact you within 2-4 weeks, but I have not received anything for either Diana or 1266. With Chord or dCS, I always received a confirmation from them.I purchased from a dealer and my headphones were shipped directly from Abyss.

Yes, I received a confirmation email.Did you ever get confirmation from Abyss that they accept the warranty registration?

In my case I wrote back to them to 2 weeks after submission to confirm. They responded in acknowledgement.Did you ever get confirmation from Abyss that they accept the warranty registration?

WA234 has shipped, unboxing on Friday assuming Fedex doesn't play drop-kick with the (probably) 80-pound packages. Gonna be bananas. Will probably spend an hour testing with my old Abyss and other headphones to make sure nothing is broken to the extent where it would fry anything, then on to the TC. I'm not so subjectivist to believe it's going to be a huge leap over my WA5, I'd be happy with a small improvement plus the prettier jewelry on my desktop (and the ability to use tubes from the 1920s!)

Congrats man! I've not seen the wa234 out in the wild.. The one time I saw it and also tried it was several years ago in the shop when I was purchasing an LCD2.

There's a few owners I'm aware of, all extremely eccentric. Google around and you'll see. You have to be nuts to own this amp.Congrats man! I've not seen the wa234 out in the wild.. The one time I saw it and also tried it was several years ago in the shop when I was purchasing an LCD2.
