Modded headphones with qudelix at the core
When I received the Qudelix 5K, I had already modified a pair of Superlux HD-681 headphones. I previously soldered my own balanced connections to the drivers, providing multiple ways to connect and...

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

The first priority was to stop your package from going to the old location, which I submitted on the 14th, but on the 15th your bottlehead was shipped (the warehouse prints/prepares labels and boxes in advanced for faster fulfillment so looks like I didn't get this request in, in time).
That means we'll need to ship a second one to your new address (person), and you'll need to Refuse delivery of the first one, we'll absorb the cost on the dual shipping.
I still have to figure out how to deal with how to sort out the financials with you and your second groupbuy participant. I can't send it to you, and simply have you pay for it, because liability concerns arise if the package gets lost on the way. I also can't simply cancel your transaction and add the new person to the group buy, because we don't/can't add people to group buys weeks after they've ended.
The easier answer would have been to say no to your original query- and I think that would have been a more appropriate response. Regardless, you'll get some instructions _later this afternoon_ with how we're going to sort out this mess.
(In regards to not responding to your follow up emails, I have a separate folder for new and existing support queries and I generally prioritize getting through new requests before dealing with old ones)
Secondly, you tied up my money ($340 US) for practically 1.5 months and I still don't have this Bottlehead amp (this my friends, is insulting). What would be the possibility of implementing a deposit system whereby customers pay 10% upfront, and when the product finally gets shipped from the fulfillment centre to their destinations, the 10% goes towards the overall price and the customers would be charged the full price then; if the customer doesn't want their item at that point, then MD gets to keep that 10%. I don't know the legality of such system, but my point is it'd prevent people's money from getting tied up for such a long unspecified period of time.
It's insulting to tie up my $340 while I could've done a lot with that money in the meantime.
I'm not trying sound self-righteous or angry (I'm not), but it's gotten to the point where any appeal that this amp had on me when it was dropped has long since faded. I bet if it comes in the next week or two, I won't even care.
Have you ever ordered a custom... anything, before? Anything that had to be assembled by hand. Have you ever ordered something and it turned out to be back-ordered?
Many custom manufacturers insist on payment up front. For example: order a Cooper rifle and you might have to wait not 1.5 months, but more than 2 full years. I ordered a custom flugelhorn mouthpiece once and waited 1.5 years for it to arrive from Europe. Yes, I paid up front. I got exactly no updates, snail mail, email, nothing during this time. Not even an order-of-magnitude estimate on how long it might take. Zero regrets. The reason I ask is because I'm not convinced your dissatisfaction is coming from a reasonable place, or past experience with this type of item.
I'm not saying this is ideal. In a perfect world, you'd get everything 3D printed in your closet on demand! But nothing which happened during this drop is out of line. Your expectations have been set by massive Amazon warehouses churning out identical boxes 24/365, but that simply isn't how premium/custom vendors work. If you want botique, semi-custom items then this is going to happen from time to time - more often for unexpectedly large orders.
A deposit system sounds good to not tie up money, but that sounds like a risky position for MD to be floating 90% on orders until they've shipped from their centre.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to examine your motivations for buying things.
Agreed with @JDWarner that, in retrospect, nothing about this drop was really out of line, per se, at least not for a US buyer. But I would also agree wholeheartedly with @del316 about the MD approach having an irritating knack for ruining the positive experience of buying something new - I like to pretend that it's just growing pains, but more often it comes across as willful intent. And I think it's kind of messed up to try to make that opinion out to be something shameful - it's not about instant gratification, it's about the basic premise of establishing expectations & then meeting (or exceeding) them when a buyer agrees to a purchase. IMO, "insulting" is a pretty accurate descriptor for when you leave somebody hanging and your response to objection basically amounts to "deal with it".
