AMT is 1230 CHF (Swiss Francs)

Thats $1178.22 USD according to XE.


(You might want to bracket in the cost of the H2 alongside the transformer, which really is needed.)

Not another phone, but you haven't put the HD800 in Sennheiser HD800 in your list.

So if I am in the High-end Audio Forum I can only buy from this list... ?? J.K.

I was going to say Ed9, but I guess out of production now.
