Fancy trash can.

 
Not just fancy... it's their fastest and most expandable trash can yet, with up to a 2.5X speed boost, 12 cores, dual GPUs, and supporting up to 36 Thunderbolt 2-based peripherals:

They could have avoided the obvious "trashcan" comparisons if they'd just stuck some kind of grate on top.

I am not in the market for one of those. It looks like garbage to me especially having the power cord right on the front like that.

Also, is the SR-3 worth owning? I'm seeing a lot of offers for them right now for cheap.

Yeah, it looks like is going to be a great good meet.
You get to see the "usual suspects", including  Milos, who tends to have the greatest headphones.

I just got the very rare SR-1 so hopefully I'll be able to bring that along.  Any of you guys happen to have variable bias supply on your KGSSHV?  These run at something like 200V and I'm pretty sure the transformer that came with it is gonna be messed up when it arrives.

30V less than a normal bias.
Is it safe to use 230V?
I only have pro jacks on my amp, but have N SRD7 Mk2

If it's going for around $130-200 may as well get a SR-5 which is better overall.

It depends on which revision of the SR-1 it is.  The earlier version was 150V so normal bias would probably be a bad idea with those.  I'll probably end up testing normal bias on it anyways though.  Maybe I'll take a T1 to run some Lambdas and the SR-1 if it's compatible.

Apparently that's the back side. At least that's what it said in the presentation. Then again, it doesn't matter what side you put it. 
 
 
Since when did a cylinder with a hole at the topic automatically scream trash can? 
 
Well anyways, it looked more like a ceramic vase/cup than a trash can, to me.

Cue the hibachi comparisons then...

Elusive disc does sell the SR-207 separately, so it must be possible. Maybe if you just ask? I don't know where you'd want to buy them.

$420.00. May as well drop in another $150-180 for the 2170 system and then sell off the amp for $200-250. 

 
I didnt know they were sold separately. I might email some places or pop by Japan next time I'm in the area. I dont need another one of those amps.

Nope still same.
 
Hopefully the distortion, membrane crinkling noise will cure itself too.
 
Btw does anyone have a pin-out of the pro-bias jack to SR-002 connector?

Don't even know her. It was just a cheap convenient bag for my camera bought in a German 1-€ shop.

Just the first version was 150V, these are 200V but work just fine at 230V.  They never changed anything when moving to 230V, the designs could always handle the extra voltage.
