Further Information:
Hi,
I’m selling what I consider the best headphones I ever heard. I’ve never had the feeling of listening to speakers instead of headphones as much as with these Abyss. Alas, I’m not listening to headphones enough to justify keeping for $26k of headphones gear in the house.
Current retail for the TC version is $10.2k. I’ve contacted Abyss and the cost to upgrade the CC to the TC (a driver change) is rather reasonable at $550US, including return shipping.
Here is your chance to hear for yourself what the hype is about.
If you don’t know about these, there are plenty of reviews on the net, including this one:

There were 4 iterations of the AB1266.
AB1266 (the original version)
AB1266 PHY (driver update)
AB1266 PHY CC (same drivers as the PHY but cosmetic changes with a ceramic coating and a new earpad design)
AB1266 PHY TC (updated drivers and new headband)
The CC I’m selling come with the newer headband found on the TC (a $500 upgrade).
