Why isn't JB HiFi on the list.

You never know, it could all change with JB Hi-Fi ~ personal audio is picking up steam
Article in 'Melbourne Weekly' last issue on 'the benefits of a decent set of iems or headphones' the piece was
more or less paid for by Bowers and Wilkins
Still, if the masses want range and quality then they have shown in the past that they can source the appropriate
gear.
That's true, except for the lack of headphones part, I counted 46 headphones available for listening demo, at least twice that for sale, and lots of IEM's but no high-end ones, Klipsch X10, Sony EX310 and TDK EB900 were the best ones I saw.
Most of the headphones are the plasticky low-end type, but they do have the Sennheiser HD25-II and a couple models like that.
They will probably price match other stores if you ask them to, I've heard they're quite flexible there, depends on the product I guess, for example they mark up their speakers a lot.
For the high-end portable audio locally I only know of Addictedtoaudio and Jaben Australia, and they both seem like very positive retailers to me.

Im not sure that I would give Wicked Digital a positive feedback. But when I was trying to return my Shure SE215s I got a bit of resistance and the guy's emails were bordering on rude.
If they had a good price I would buy from them again, but I wont call my experience a positive one.
Really keen to try out the new CA DACMagic Plus that some sites listed a few days ago. Anyone know if A2A (or any other retailer) do home trials? Seems less painful to cop shipping and restocking fees than the loss incurred through buying and selling (damn low-ballers).
Definite kudos to Jaben. Josh has allowed me to try before I've bought (which has involved shipping all the way to NZ). He's been very fair with both pricing and payment. Can't fault Jaben's service so far.
Next time you're down at A2A or Jaben, I'd be interested to hear your views on the Furutech ADL Cruise ~ I loved it last time I heard it, initially I've always
been a 'serious desktop' guy The Fostex HP-P1 for example never set my world on fire ~ but this little amp is so clean sounding.
