Carlsan, I see that you have InEar SD-3 as well. Could you say something about H3 vs. SD-3 (plus vs. Cardas if it is not asking too much)? Thanks.

Telstar,   I went with Kenwood KH-K1000. Happy with them. Sound I was after and relatively easy to drive.  It was impossible for me to try AT and JVC, so I went with cheaper and less controversial alternative. Also less known, unfortunately.   Of course, I still would like to hear...
