I believe UPS and Fedex have hub on lower west side. Around varick st. and leonard or so I think. I went to pick up some stuff there before. that was a damn late delivery though. at least you have somebody downstairs.

Update - got my isolation cones and audioquest speaker wire! the wire is cool, when you strip it there is a little red string to show you which is for...red. and it's directional wire so they do the dummy printing arrows for me - nice. took out my FM antenna wire, plugged the 'quests in, and the wharfdales have bass - who knew? not the farty bass that eric and lan think i like, but REAL bass. it's great. who needs a subwoofer? not me! oh and 3 isolation cones under each speaker now. i'm done.
i think i'm done.
pretty sure i'm done.

Did you get that transparent case with the ms-1's? I just got the normal Grado box. Also the mini plug is different than yours. Just wondering
Other than that these cans sound nice right out of the box
. Nice punchy bass which my 555's don't have. But I still think the 555's are better for jazz and classic.
Any suggestions for an amp? Maybe the group-buy Corda Porta?
Now listening to my new ms-1's and waiting for total burn-in and ofcourse enjoying the music
Cheers.

BTW that clear case is a project case from Office Depot - just put your foam in there, that's it!
Here's an update, 1911 and the Groom both dumped their old crap on me for my Bday - but i'm happy to take their crap if it results in my owning a PS2 and an Infinity Subwoofer. So I hooked it all into the Denon receiver (swapped it with 1911 for my old Sony) and the PS2 going into the Samsung LCD TV monitor, and now we're cookin.
I think I better stop here for a while...ah who am I kidding. And btw my post count at this point is 4000+. CURSE YOU HEAD FI!

Jahn>Yeah good thing you ignored my interest check on a brand new PS-1. You sidestepped a landmine there. Not to mention the offer of you demoing the Melos SHa Gold modded and military spec tubes. Btw My R-10's are in Canada. Sure you don't want me to arrange to go to you for a play before they come to me? Join me and your journey to the dark side will be complete.

The offer of the r-10 is very real, young padawan. Which ever one becomes free goes to the bright lights of NYC for you to play with.
