I bought a pair of Beyer DT880 Manufacture from Orkney. The transaction was a smooth and pleasant one. Orkney was extremely friendly, helpful and responsive throughout the process. Delivery was prompt. I would not hesitate to deal with him again in the future. A highly recommended Head-Fier!

Transaction was a smooth as it could be, he was extra patient as well, but according to him was a pretty rewarding waiting...so enjoy it...do not hesitate to deal with him the future again...

I bought a Corda Opera from Struan. When I had problems with my Interac transfer, he was extremely patient. He went to the trouble of ensuring that there were no problems on his end, and even offered to absorb the Paypal fees should the transfer not work out.
I recieved the Opera within two days of paying It was double-boxed and in immaculate condition.
I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.
I bought a pair of Denon D5000's from orkney. Great communication throughout the transaction, quick shipping and well packed. I would do business with him in a heart beat. Thanks!
orkney bought a pair of mullard tubes from me. His communication is perfect and I got paid super fast. Inform me very quickly as soon as he got the tubes today. Show high responsibility to our trade. A nice gentleman to deal with. Highly recommended!

Orkney is a topnotch seller and communicator and a nice guy! He sold me some expensive cans at a good price and they were shipped quickly and securely and sound just great. Thanks.

Bought Orkney's Edition 9, and they arrived in great shape, and arrived significantly faster than I am used to with expedited Canada Post.
They were double boxed, and packed extremely well. He used enough duct tape that I can now make a wallet out of it too. He even polished them up all sparkly clean for me. On top of that, he tossed in a great CD by Jillian Horton, still in the shrink-wrap!
What more could a buyer ask?
Thanks!

I just received a pair of 580s from Orkney. Communication was fast and so was the shipping. The packaging was amazing and the headphones were complete and in excellent condition. Now I have a whole music collection to rediscover
I bought a violet Black Sand from orkney. Double packed, well padded-and the cord was exactly as described. A great deal, and I hope to buy from him again.
