I look forward to your thought. They arrived today. Initial thoughts, they are well built, very light, but they STINK!!! Not sure if it's the zippered case or the stain on the wooden cups, but there's some sort of off-gassing occuring and no, it's not coming from my pile of Schiit nor is it a by-product of todays lunch. Seriously, I'm going to let them air out in a separate room, playing through my Macbook for a few hours before I pass any litening judgement. In the meantime, I plan to listen to a few Roon playlists with my AKGs and warm stack of Schiit... After two days of airing them out, I got in touch with MassDrop as they weren't much better. They sent me a replacement set and although not as bad, they still have a rather strong chemical order to them, so I'm returning them for a full refund. Oh well... time to look for something else.

What a shame! Sorry to hear about that. For sure, but things happen. On a good note this was the first time I've had an issue with a MassDrop purchase and dealing with support was quick and painless.

I needed to protect my Senn 600's from my cats and I didn't have a handy cabinet to store them in for my 2nd HP station (like I do at the 1st). So, I bought one of the wall mount type and mounted above an opening that goes to my basement. So, it's not visible in the living room, is easily in my reach, and is safe from the cats! Mark

I remember seeing that movie at the drive-in theater back in the late 70s, triple feature for $0.99, damn I am old!

Extremely under-appreciated movie. I've watched so many times I remember most of the lines. Scott

Just got two matched 6DJ8 Philips Holland "A" Frame NOS It replaced my Russian made Audible Illusions Quiet mixed results - sound stage slightly improved vertically but trebles gain slight metal taste and middles became a bit softer and kind of less defined As appear AI tubes sounds better...

Always a disappointment to go backwards when you're trying to go forward. It's amazing how much tubes can flavor the sonic signature of an amp.

Yep! At least I've got some NOS experience...

Seems to work well, I’ll have to look at it under a microscope to see just how well it works.

Finally! Finally found the perfect boom, dimmable light for my TT stand. Clamps directly to the glass top and is so adjustable. Great low price and looks!
