Good summary, Jude. I also stopped by Monster, Beyer, Sennheiser, and will be hitting up Sleek tomorrow or the next day. You are also right about Mr. Feckanin of Beyerdynamic - he is excellent, up to speed, and courteous. The T5p is a biiiiiig hit with me, though I could not hope to buy it. Lovely case too, evidently designed by a Belgian mat maker! Love to meet up with you, Jude.
