First it was a great deal. Second, Richard was aces all the way with communication and shipping - if I ever ship myself anywhere I want him to wrap me - triple boxed. Third, the components are in essentially new condition and came in the original boxes with manuals. Fourth, I am a skeptic when audiophile matters arise [read do not believe in CABLES] and I expected an improvement over my bithead but not magic. Well, I got magic - astounding difference over my Senn 650s and through Shure 530s - the latter really amazes me because it cannot be ascribed to more power. I could not be happier [but still do not believe in effects that cannot be replicated by double blind testing.]
