headphonecrazy 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 (edited) Just got hold of my V3. Can't wait to burn-in + warmup for my good old HD580. Will try to post some pics as soon as I can get a camera & an allen key I hiope. Edited September 29, 2003 by headphonecrazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 Congrats, how much did U pay for it? Retailer could have taken the opportunity to up the price tag as GBP has appreciated a lot since early Sep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 Argh! Same old tubes. I thought they would go for something more exotic, perhaps the trivistor tubes. headphonecrazy: How about the power supply? Did you get them as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought they would go for something more exotic, perhaps the trivistor tubes. headphonecrazy: How about the power supply? Did you get them as well? It's a Walwart but a different rating of 24V AC with a 3-pin din, not interchangable with the old V2 PSU. No annoucement of an external PSU for this unit as yet.
