FS: LTS v1 headphones

hi, I have a lot of stuff that needs a new home (or homes).

LTS v1 headphones - $400 USD shipped
These are brand new, the Premium model with the CNC aluminum headband sliders. I paid 620 EUR and the price has since increased to 699 EUR.
The cable is Sommer cable terminated in 1/8" connector.

These are on-ear Grado-like headphones using the Elleven Acoustica P1 drivers. Grado L-cush pads installed by default.

Spoiler: sold

2012 Mac Mini - $300 USD including shipping
This is the last great Mini, also the last great user-upgradeable model. In great shape with original box and power cord. Will come with a fresh install of High Sierra. Use it as a music server or secondary computer. Runs fast due to installed SSD, specs below.

2.5GHz i5 16GB; 256GB SSD & 1TB HDD (OWC Dual drive bay)

Campfire Orion CK - $180 USD including shipping
Apparently these may be B-stock because of the label on the box, but I can't find any blemishes or defects. All original accessories, and most of the eartips unused.

abbasaudio DAC0.1SE - $700USD including shipping
This is a TDA1543 DAC using germanium transistors for I/U conversion and a 6DJ8 tube buffer for the output, with vintage Siemens MKP coupling caps. Primo vintage parts used throughout. S/PDIF input only, you need a good transport to get the most out of it. It sounds awesome, I have his higher end DACs. I don't really want to sell this one, it's also been discontinued so you can't get it anymore. It has a cover not shown in the photo.

Sennheiser HD650 - $280 USD including shipping
Not much to say here. These come with the old style box and have the silver screens. Good overall condition. Comes with the stock 1/4" cable although I have a 4-pin XLR cable below.



LTS v3 headphones - $620 USD + shipping
These are brand new, the Standard model with high gloss finish. I paid 650 EUR and the price has since increased to 789 EUR. I'd like to get $620 USD for these, which is ~$130 less than what I paid. I believe they are absolutely worth that. The cable is Sommer cable terminated in 1/4" connector.



ESX900 - $900 USD + shipping
I didn't think I would sell these but you know how it goes. These are Fostex TH900 modified by Ev from ETA. I paid $650 for the phones, $500 for the modification and $200 for the cable from Art Cables (terminated in 3.5mm), so $1350 total invested. I'd like $900 back, that's only $1 per ESX! I have the original Fostex box. This pair recently went on a limited loaner tour and impressions can be found in the ESX thread on here.

 

@aamefford you should grab the Paradox Slants for your guitar rig

 

That abbasaudio! strange how quickly it seems parts are becoming so scarce.

 

Loved that dac, true value right there

 

Unfortunately looks like I’m too late. That was my thought when I spotted them in the post. Not sure how I managed to miss your tag. I’ve heard the slants back when Louis was involved more in the community. Killer headphones.

 

That Apogee was designed by Dan Lavry and is no slouch. Poor mans DA10. Very neutral. @rhythmdevils, weren't you looking for a DA10 or equivalent?

 

I was looking for a reference amp not a DAC. I’m good with my Yggdrasil. But thank you!

 

the abbas was on a loaner tour last year, wasn't it? did anyone post impressions? (can't seem to find an impressions thread)
