The forum rules state:
No advertising by Members of the Trade that is not pre-approved by the Head-Fi administrators is allowed in the member forums. Some sponsors have Branded Sponsor Forums in which they will be allowed to advertise their wares. There will also be designated areas and forums where sponsors and non-sponsors alike will be able to advertise their wares. Head-Fi is most definately NOT anti-trade. In fact, trade members are a welcome and vital part of the Head-Fi community. However, Head-Fi's Main Forums, its Private Messaging System, or its e-mail relay function are not to be used for unsolicited self promotion and advertising of audio products or services.
You can find us via FiiO's website .
Our purpose in belonging to Head Hi Fi is an interest in audio not self promotion

I already pre-order an E5 from a local store (which I am probably gonna get a cheaper price) but I placed another order from Mp4nation nonetheless. I am mostly interested in getting the PL-20 for cheap

Assuming I order now I guess the Fiio wouldn't make it to the US in time (~Dec 15). In which case - do you ship to Canada mp4guy?

Me too. I am REALLY surprised by the prices of the portable amps that do not sound as good in my work rig as the FiiO E3. I'm more than willing to write some of that off as synergy, but not all. Now that the E5 is coming out at a price that is in line with the price of the E3 and the added features, I'm excited to hear it. For $20 more, to get what has been posted as a very decent-sounding IEM, well, how could I not at least give myself the opportunity to be REALLY pleasantly surprised twice? I may not be, but $20-ish is a cost-per-experiment that I can live with. That's my long way of saying, "Seems like a great deal!" just like everyone else

Darn it. I was looking forward to trying this out for $19.99. At $25 I am going to wait until its performance is widespread or after the price has dropped below $20.
Oh well, instead I just placed an order for a black FiiO E3 shipped from DealExtreme for $8.14. Cheapest price I could find from a reputable seller. I hope that Dealextreme eventually carries the E5 for under $20. (I am such a cheap skate.)
I chose DealExtreme because they had good reviews and a 9.12 out of 10 score at resellerrating.com.
Mp4nation had poor reviews and their score was too low.
