Ultrasone issued a press release about it last month.

It depends on which shipping method is chosen. If your shipper uses International Priority shipping, for example, customs-clearance is built-in. The recipient (i.e. you) won't have to pay brokerage fees. However, if they use a cheaper method, such as International Ground, then you will have...

There are some 4+ conductor cables from Belden that might work. For example, Belden 83804 is the 4-conductor version of the 83802 (2-conductor) cable which is popular for use in DIY power cords. 83806 is the 6-conductor version. These are all 12 AWG and are rated at 300V. 83754 and 83756 are...

The Calrad 30-702 (bottom right of the page) is a plastic right-angle mini. Should be easy to find since Calrad has distributors all over North America.

If I understand correctly, you're looking for a right-angle male 1/8" to female 1/4" adaptor. If so, then CablePro makes one. See this page.

Another place that might be worth looking at is MonsterSlayer/550 Silver & Supply. A 6" x 18" half-sheet of 26-gauge (0.0159") copper is $3.95 US. 28-gauge (0.0135") is the same price.

Burkhard Schultheis on the left (mit Sturzhelm, AKA Jecklin Float) and Axel Sommerfeldt on the right (the foam wrist support gives him away). If Burkhard and Axel are Head-Fi members, perhaps they'll pop into the thread and say hello.

Another option is Bright Star IsoNodes. Similar to Vibrapods, but slightly cheaper. I haven't noticed a marked difference in sound quality with IsoNodes under my equipment, but feel that anything that isolates them from vibration can't be doing any harm.
