    hello boys and girls

    I have a ESX900 the world should hear. this is a Fostex TH900 modded by our very own @E_Schaaf. for more info see here https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/esx900-impressions-slamhead’s-delight.9777/

    if interested in hearing it please indicate your location below. they are terminated single-ended, but you can run these off an iPod. since this is my personal pair I'm probably going to cap to 5-6 participants. I think ETA (Tommy/Ev) will be putting more interesting headphones on loaner soon.

    interested participants:
    1. @FishCommander (WA)
    2. @Gazny (CA)
    3. @Mystic (MO)
    4. @OldDude04 (MI)

    I'd like to hear these. ETA tuning sounds right up my alley.

    Thanks for setting this up.

    Edit: Located in MO

    sending these out this week to @FishCommander . updated the original post with the tour list. @OldDude04 since you are the closest to me, I hope you are OK to send back to Canada. I will give specific instructions on how to do so when the time comes.

    some things to note:
    1. please use Fedex/UPS only (no USPS) for shipping within the US.
    2. insure for $500 US
    3. 5 days per person
    4. the phones are terminated single-ended with a 1/8" jack. hopefully you all have a 1/4" adapter lying around.
    5. while the cups have a hard lacquer on them and are fairly scratch resistant, just be careful on how you handle them.
    6. they can be sensitive to positioning on the head, try wearing them forward on the head versus back for best response.
    7. I'm including an 5g iPod in the box loaded with rad tunes. feel free to use this to try the headphones out. a charge cable is also included just in case the battery runs out.
    there may or may not be room for one more on the tour. pls reply here with your location if interested.
