Oh, and Sony USA doesn't ship out of USA........

Any idea where I can get them? Been googling around and can't seem to find any place selling them....Mine are disintegrating at the corners.....

Michael Jackson was and always will be The King of Pop. I'm extremely saddened by what's transpired. He died of a broken heart. Alone and betrayed by the world that once loved him so. But he will always be loved. Now he can rest in peace. Away from the media and allegations that humanity has...

Sure, why not. I'm listening to music on the Radio everyday, the stock stereo in my E-class and cheap logitec speakers at work. And I'm enjoying music and loving it. I realise without all the equipment chase (oh, and not visiting head-fi helps as well), I can finally enjoy music for what it...

Any crazy Japanese K-On fans willing to take my K701's for $700USD? Its 100 cheaper than what you get in Japan...

Alright, I wasn't reading, just saw the meet forum...my bad.

I realized that in the attempt to attain Audio Nirvana, I've come to realize the ugly truth about it. Its NEVER attainable. Why do I say so? Say before entering head-fi, you're like any average joe who uses them Apple White Ear Buds, lets call it AWEB for short. Yeah, its cool, its white...

Seriously! You guys still don't get it. The top pick has been announced.... L3000, Qualia 010, Stax Omega 2, what are they????

Bah, it all boils down to whether are we able to justify our purchase and prioritising our needs and wants. To a sneaker mad collector, probably a pair of iBuds would do. But to audio mad people, probably the same old pair o sneakers would do him justice whereas anything below a pair o ibuds is...

Oh...I see. Cause I've got a dynaudio dealer pretty close to my place and I was thinking of popping by and getting the 250sub since the Microvee is not available in Mars.

where can i still find stock for a new DHA3000?

Nice solid review there but I guess sound really is subjective. I guess I'am the odd one out over here who hates the GS-1000's sound. The MS-PRO however sounded brilliant to me....

Guess its like $30 more expensive than getting them straight from kakaku....including shipping and all...
