Focal Elegia headphones. For sale or swap/px. Original cable and 2 nearly new longer (approx 155cm and 3m), more flexible aftermarket cables. Original (rather scruffy) earpads, and nearly new Dekoni replacement earpads. Non-Focal hard carry case. The headphones aren't mint, some markings and print fading, but I'd rate them as a 7/10. I'll include a nearly new headband cover in the sale. They work A1. £215 including UK delivery. Swap or px for other headphones possible, suggestions welcome. These headphones are low impedance and don't need a big dedicated headphone amp to work well.   |

Because he wanted to try something else?

I’ll get my grammar nazi son on this, but I think the question easier to understand as ‘for what did you swap them?’
Nah.. that’s rubbish
‘You swapped them? And for what?’
Maybe tis a secret.

Shhh. It's a Secret. Oh, OK then. I got 2 pairs as a swap. i. Mad Dog by Dan Clarke / MrSpeakers. A modification of Fostex TP50RP. A bit iconic. Rated very highly by some as the one of the best closed back headphones ever. ii. Beyerdynamic DT990.  |

Because he wanted to try something else? I didn't ask why I asked what. Why is none of my business |

Wow, what a great swop, I remember reading about Mad Dogs, should have been called the Dogs B-----ks. |

Yes, the other guy knew it was a good deal for me, he undervalued the Beyers to make it a pure swap just to save him the bother of selling them separately.

@cageyh My question was what have you swopped it for, the answer I required was the actual item/s Jerry received in return for his Focal headphones. Can you no longer understand English since moving abroad or are you on illegal substances/alcohol.
Best you do not go on forums when in such a state.

Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?

I have absolutely no idea why Kevin is speaking in riddles Jerry, for me I was only asking what you had swapped the headphones for, I know you eventually give up the answer on one of the forums. |

... I was only asking what you had swapped the headphones for... Because I wanted to. English is a wonderful language, so full of ambiguity. It's always giving plenty of opportunities for the full half hour. |

jandl100 I think my post is pretty clear what I meant, please also see my post on Oli's birthday thread when I asked "whaddya get". stevew understood fine, why Kevin decided to 'stir it up' I have no idea. Maybe he had been on illegal substances or he just doesn't like to keep things sweet.

Anyway Dave, are you working today? No, a free day to cause a nuisance on the net. If they're busy tomorrow I might have to go work, but not for much longer now the weather is turning cooler. You are not the only one who can cause a nuisance.  |

It's one of those online confrontations where both sides think they are right, and they are! Happily, I've answered both possible interpretations of Dave's original question. So you can stop squabbling now. If you want to. |

@cageyh "You are not the only one who can cause a nuisance. " You're nearly there Kevin, look how many stars I have (8) and how many you have (7). It's like being in the army, corporals don't go in the sergeants mess. |

Your forum status sounds like you need a cream to treat it
Mine just shows I am a happy beast.

Your 'stars' are automatically generated in correlation to the number of posts one has made (no I don't mean you've been sitting in the shed fashioning the wooden fencing types).
Unfortunately, this awarding of said fixed luminous point in the sky, is no indication of quality contained within . . . otherwise most of us would be stuck on one . . .

Apparently I've got an established member.
Which isn't bad at all at my age.
