One driver's dead, my Primes are headed back...

Funny, one side of my HD800 keeps dying too.

It's interesting that these are already being discontinued with the price lowered to $799.00.

Makes me wonder why Dan bothered to put this model out in the first place.

Presumably because Fostex is coming out with a new revision of the T50RP and he'd rather design new headphone than rework his mods.

It kinda makes me wonder if he's got a sample of the new T50RP and has confirmed that it's different.  It seems a little hasty to clear out his stock otherwise.

It sounds like a fire sale. If I remember right he was still determining the failure rate for the driver mods when he released it (whether he could get the rate low enough to offer upgrades from Alpha Dogs or not).

It will be interesting to see if there's a new closed Ether to replace the Prime.

They are on close-out for $699 or something ridiculous like that now.
