My friend, at least it's better than beats!

 

Yep. I'd definitely rather have to buy audiophile headphone gear than best-of-breed violins. Strads and Guarneris aren't cheap. You could get a lot of $$$$ headphones, a few nice cars, and even a house for what you'd pay for one of those instruments.

Talking about luthiers makes me think of Amati, and talking about Amati makes me think about the lead from Gunslinger Girls.

JBL..... meh

I don't like 'em too much. I prefer RCF and EV

You know you're an audiophile when you make elaborate hand gestures to describe your headphone's presentation
