That's right re-read this quote over and over until it becomes engrained in your head

Mid-April Fools?

 

[redshifter]

it looked like he sold the he90, not the entire orpheus (amp + headphone).

 

[ilovesocks]

He says that "the last" of his electrostatics must go, though. Why would he only sell the headphone?

I had to cry myself to sleep last night.

Famous last words: "I think I'll turn in early" (said last night, about five minutes before the thread went up).

Read the ad carefully. It was just for the headphone.

There is no way he sold both an HE90 and HEV90 for $2000.

 

[ilovesocks]

True, he does specifically state "HE90" rather than "HE90 + HEV90," or better yet, "Orpheus!" How peculiar ..

 

[JazzJackRabbit]

True it looks like he sold headphones only, but even so it's a good deal considering you could get electrostatic amp for 1500-2500 and get a full "orpheus" system for only 3500-4500.

does it matter? an HE90 went for 2000! that's still the second best deal of the year: behind the 175 dollar HP1000 on audiogon.

Depends on whether you measure by absolute value or percentage This is at least $3000 under normal HE90 price.

Even me, mister HE90s aren't good value for money, was about to send off a paniced PM, until I saw I was too late.


Ahh, deflated...

 

[saturnine]

I was seriously ready to sell my car, seeing them sold so soon made me

But I'm happy for you tkam. You got a deal of a lifetime!

 

[gevorg]

Coincidence? hmmmm........

I wonder if he used a bot to post "ygpm" in any FS thread with a HE90 or Orpheus in the title.

Of course, I'm beside myself wondering why in the $(*&@$ nothing like this EVER FREAKING HAPPENS TO ME???
