when your Stereophile test CD gets more scratches than any Beatles CD?

can anyone confirm with confidence that the price will be $300-ish?   because my long-delayed purchase of the DT150 depends on this.   Dimitri from MA said he could not comment on that.

hi. i've used the SR-60 and the 60-i for quite a few years now, and i LOVE them (to the point that they lose all the lettering due to daily use lol) but it's getting more obvious to me that it doesn't handle big complex passages very well ("dense", should i say?) and i'm in the market for...

hi. i am quite a hi-fi newbie. i'm planning on a set of headphones/in ear monitors to go with an iPod/HeadRoom Total BitHead amp (that's all my dad allowed me). see, the moment that got me into hi-fi is that when my dad borrowed my Agaetis Byrjun CD (by Sigur Ros) for auditioning some tube...
