Wait so... 500 dollar headphones and they don't have a detachable cable? so if that breaks you're kinda screwed? lol.

Stardown7There were 2 trains of thought when these were conceived: A) Removable cables were thought to be "not quite ready" based on what the industry was using. B) Hardwired gave the company an opportunity to build to desire, in other words create the perfect setting between materials and performance. Now of course since 2017 we have found a company that owns the patent on the A2DC interface and IMHO blows away every other detachable cable type you will find. * It is small and efficient * Great signal to noise performance * No hidden/small pins to bend or become mis-shapen * Just plain works in all applications (ATH-ADX5000) uses them on both normal and balanced cables So don't be surprised if you start to see newer generations start to incorporate this awesome new connector. or.. C) We just did not think much of any other connectors until A2DC. (Snobbish huh..) =-)

poteetb1Hi pal. I know this is off topic, but could we get some Audio-Technica 440 MLA or 440 MLB drops? I have a TT and I can't find any cartridges around. Also, MassDrop is great for shipping to my region. Thanks!

DinoJoeWe can always make something like that happen. I think we would have to work with MassDrop to see if there is enough community interest to move forward. I will put a bug in the ear of a couple of people.
Thanks.
