You'd really think someone would have gone into the KGSSHV building business by now, they'd make a killing

Guess everyone is selling today, selling my HD800's CDPlayer selling his 4070. Be matter of time someone starts selling there kidneys LOL.

 
Just noticed the price of the 4070. That's definitely more than they cost brand new, and looking through the archives used 4070s often sell for half that price... wouldnt sell my kidney for that. I dont want to be like the kid who sold his kidney for an ipad and then suffered renal failure, lmao http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-17640209

Poor kid. He could've just just taken one from the Foxconn factories. Yeah the 4070 price is quite high. I know a few others that purchased there's around $850-1300 range, so I held off the offer as I'm not interested.

Yes. If I can do it, I bet many of you could too. Just have to be careful with high voltages (that could kill you) and be very OCD about doings everything very meticulously.
Oh, but is worth it!

Nothing beats DIY in audio.

Correct. Not as big as the SR007MKI, but it's there. No biggie IMO.

 
Humm, I think not all SR009 are created equal in that regard. I have an early unit and I can hear the stax fart much louder than my 007mk1. Also, I believe more recent production unit don't make anywhere near as much noise.
 
I have made some recording using in ear mics:
 
Warning: this isn't for the faint of heart, esp. the 009...

My lambda fart does indeed sound different. More metallic and crushed tin can-ish.

The guy who sold me these originally paid 2100 euro for them, as he bought them in Europe. Yes, I know they were about $1,600 from pricejapan just a few years ago; but the last one I didn't manage to win on yahoo JP only ~3 months ago went for more than that, and it was in worse condition that mine, also missing its flight case, IIRC.
