  Any recommendations for someone to commission to build a Eddie Current Monolith from board and bom I have laying around?

  I hate selling cheap stuff. I get more tire kickers for a $50 item than a $1000 one.

    Also even if you get what you ask, when you sell something for $50 you only get $50, and you sell something for $1000, you get $1000.

    It’s getting where I’d rather give stuff to friends or donate to Goodwill instead of bothering with CL. It’s just not worth my time or the hassle.

    I've heard the OG woody HE5 before and after LFF mods and with a bunch of pads. The earliest version with the stronger magnets. They have WAY too much action over 8khz. Even after mods. Murder to my ears. This would be a great planar complement to a Gradohead though. Just not my cup of tea. HE4 is rarer anyway :p

    Not to mention I've got my woody 4-screw HE6 just collecting dust. I'm 99% phased out of planars. Thanks for thinking of me though

  RebelAmp just came in the mail. We will see how a discrete class a amp from a Ukrainian start up sounds.

  I don't know why I take a break from ESX HE6. When properly powered and a good source, the sound feels effortless.

    ^Cavalli Liquid Gold. 9 watts into 50 ohms gives the HE6 a lot room to stretch its legs.

    Good to hear you're still enjoying them, if you ever want any tweaks let me know! I do strongly recommend experimenting with pads :)

  Well stimulus check came in today. Now gone. Does anyone know how hard it is to rewire a 220v sigma 22 psu to 120V?

    Pay twice as much attention when turning everything off. I always began by muting pre outs before powering off powers.

  Last Days of Silence by B12 is a pretty good electronic album for background music if you are working from home.

  F***! Have I been trading wrong? Does the value of your item go up if you are trading? Or i have found a f***ing stupid seller.

    The only thing you're doing wrong is loosing your time on idiots. I had some similar situation once, didn't go further the second message.

    I don’t think there’s really a reason to take trade offers/negotiation as a personal offense and “unload” on someone. If you don’t agree to business terms then don’t agree and walk away. If they’re outlandish so be it. Making unacceptable offers isn’t akin to calling you the son of a motherless goat.

    @DigMe Well unload is probably an exaggeration and insults were not traded. Just stated how boggling his method of establishing the value of a used item was to me.
    
    @frenchbat Indeed. I am more frustrated with myself than the seller. Saw the rabbit hole but needed to dip my toe to evaluate it. Ended up going way deeper than I initially thought.
