Still thoroughly enjoying the sonic qualitites without spending all the money

Actually, my Minibox was 220, the Portaphile was around 225 and the Tomahawk was 200. BUT the Portaphile was a "B" model where Cesar used a different wiring for the traces--whatever they are. Still, wonderful sound.

Point is: unless I go Grado RS-1vintage with MingDa or KICAS amp for about 1,000 you can find audio nirvana for less than you may think. I'm a good example

True. Sometimes im amazed at just listening to some of my phones straight out of my Zune, and im not even using lossless files. Depending on what it is and where i got it from, i have 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 and 320 kbps MP3 on my player. I need a player with more storage so i can use higher bit rates.

I'm sure you'll be able to find one, I found and sold mine for 200 on the for sale forums on here.
