When reading about the cases of failure, don't forget that there are extraordinary numbers of these headphones sold, for the right perspective. Anuway, it looks like there is a MylarThree coming for me also within a short period of time. So far my Alessandro M1's serve me fantasic, but i'm...

Living Colour, although it is more rock than funk

i definitly prefer the Anton Corbijn artwork

well... thanks for the advise, i orderded the SACD version. But when looking for Coltrane's Blue Train again i found at least 5 different versions with all kind of prices. If there are so many versions of these (very known) record it must be really hard to pick up the more obscure albums.

Than i have another question: Will this CD only have better audio quality on SACD-players, or will normal players also benefit?

Because i gave my 'Davis - Kind of Blue' CD away a while ago, i want to get a new one. Confused by the number of editions there are (not to talk about SACD/DUALDISC-versions etc.), i did a search in this forum, but the only advise i found was to buy older versions. But while these are hard to...

I can't believ this!!!!! Just when i decided to call the creditcard-company that i was fradulently charged for a product i did not receive. When i got home, i found a paper that i can pick up the 'phones at the post-office tomorrow. Have to wait another day .....I don't care

AAAArgh/GRMBL All this raving about MS-1 is driving me crazy. You adulating them, makes me even more sad that mine haven't arrived after 5 freakin' weeks

Congrats ... and enjoy!

I ordered them on the 24th of July. And Alessandro collected the money about a week later. Yes, they said it would take 2 or 3 weeks. So the last days everytime i'm coming home i hope they have arrived. i hope we are worried without a reason Quote: Originally Posted by luuk...

Like you i'm waiting for about a month now, and hate to hear this. Hope our 'phones will finally arrive within this week. Quote: Originally Posted by luuk My sister ordered the ms-1's for my birthday with her creditcard, she got an receipt for the order. I mailed the guy a couple...

In the Netherlands we (hopefully) have two series to go. Hopefully, because the first 3 series were broadcasted by the NPS, which is a public broadcastcompany(don't know what the word for this is in English) and the goverment found the NPS too left oriented, and now they want to get rid of it...
