WS99 "Release Date: October 19, 2012"
 
1K "Release Date: October 19, 2012"
 
N/M they seem to be released at the same time, but the hype train the the WS99s started later.

I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to buy those and then all of a sudden here comes AT with even better models lol. So far the SZ2000s don't seem to be for me, so I'll probably be sticking with the WS99s. I feel like the CKS1000s will fit with these perfectly and I plan on getting some on-ears to complete my trifecta. I'm thinking ES700, what about you guys?
 
Oh and I almost forgot, I will definitely be getting some open over-ear headphones after those purchases as well. As of now I'm thinking AD900X, if that's what I end up with I will be an AT fiend.

I really wanna try either some AKG, Harman Kardan, or JBL headphones/earphones though. I absolutely LOVE JBL speakers, they possess the best sound signature I have ever heard in my life. AT is WAY different and I really enjoy it, but it's just not the same.

So I put an order for the ath cks99 and carbo basso. I hope I dont regret getting the cks99 over the cks77x.

Now I gotta wait for amazon to ship it to tenso.

So what happens now? Tenso notifies me of the shipment?

Oh god I hope I put in the amazon info in correctly.

I'm certain the 99 will be better than the 77x, not that the 77x's are bad at all I am actually really enjoying them, but the 99's are sure to be closer in sound to the 1k.

Not all currency conversion is equal, if I recall correctly. Even when traveling internationally you will get slightly different rates depending on the converter you go to.

 
Where I live in Asia the banks and money changers can have wildly different rates, as in the money changers have better rates.  The airports have weak rates, so they can sell their money to the banks in the city.  I think it's funny how people can buy and sell cash, and make a living out of it, or a fortune, how does that make any sense?
 
Even a large professional company like Paypal has very weak exchange rates sometimes, perhaps since they're a monopoly so they can say "you have no choice".  In China though, it's very rare anyone uses Paypal.

I'm expecting another hype train coming our way: http://www.head-fi.org/t/667685/hifiman-re-600-review

That's true; for the price I won't be too tempted. Maybe when something comes along that performs better than the H-200 and priced within the $200-250 range, I'd be frantic

Maybe the DUNU DN1000???
