The why:I find myself in a predicament only a head-fier could be in. I now own two Orpheus sets. I had one lent to a family member longterm, who asked me to purchase. So I decided to source another one. It took me about 9 months to find one since I wanted a matching set in fantastic condition. I bought these from a semi-famous record producer.The what:Sennheiser USA manager said "This is the nicest set of Orpheus I have seen in a very very long time." /quoteThese were purchased to keep permanently by me, and so I sent them to Sennheiser Germany for full servicing a couple of months ago. This was literally everything they could do. They made these nearly a show piece. I paid a ton of money If you look closely you may see small things, but the only set nicer than these is my other set, and I'm being very nitpicky. These have brand new pads, along with two more sets of sealed pads. I am also including very high end tubes. Currently, matching Siemens NOS (50s) tubes are installed in both the input, and output side. I have also included a set of Telefunken NOS (50s) input tubes. In addition, I can include a few more sets of tubes as well. To be clear, these are no-joke level tubes, and were stated by Sennheiser Germany service as the best possible for the HEV90 amplifier.The who:I am a collector, and those in New England (or at the New York CanJam) that have met me know that I don't mess around with gear. Several folks have seen this set of Orpheus including some well known members. I'll gladly talk to a serious buyer on video chat. Locals are welcome to pick up in person of course. I am willing to drive within a couple of hours of the Boston area as well.The conditions:I am willing to ship at cost. Payment will be either PayPal, or if you want to show up with a stack of cash in person, that's fine too I suppose, just no exploding ink packs or whatever.I am not willing to separate the set. This is a very rare late model matching set, and it would be a crime from which no head-fier could recover.
