Would want to know where you got yours tat cheap, for next time buy. I paid about 500+ USD(650 SGD) for a denon D600, given i am an early catcher of D600 and electronic devices are just pricier here. Not that I don't like them, but I find myself perfering cheaper HD600 to them. Wished I could have gotten them at a lower price making them a better value for me.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Occasionally, buying used from a fellow Head-Fier can also work out well, as long as an arrangement is made for the original owner to assist with warranty issues. But I think that outside of that, used is also a no-no for anyone that cares about the warranty (which is just a plain ol' good idea really).
Warranty is overrated. I buy a lot and cannot remember even one case when I needed to claim under warranty in past 10 years and that is like hundred of items bought from very cheap to very expensive.
... but of course it is always nice to have warranty.

Not even a little bit. I've used warranties several times, twice with Denon alone, and it was generally a pain-free and beneficial thing. For new $1000+ headphones, get a warranty.
Yeah, I would tend to disagree here. Many a dollar that would otherwise have been spent in repair could easily be saved by a warranty. YMMV of course, depending on your luck. But I would say that on such a high ticket item, it would be advised.

A trilogy - without, with and extended. "With" tends to serve me best most often times. Although, all three has saved my Deep-fried Cat one time or another.
Really? Even without? That'd be an interesting story to hear about.
I would also like to note that buying from an authorized dealer has other advantages. In many cases, having to deal with a warranty service or procedure is not even necessary. If the manufacturer has a robust refurb system in place, the dealer can simply give you a new unit and take yours in trade. Then the dealer and the manufacturer would resolve everything on their end.
One thing that always confused me is how companies think that a sub-par 1 year warranty is anywhere close to acceptable for a $1000+ headphone. I'd expect an employee to come to my house to fix them while serenading me with a harp for a product so high end.

Trust me, with the rising tide in the head-fi sector lifting many vendors, we're at risk temporarily of being discounted (dismissed?) rather than the product. The next long economic downturn will see your purchase exchanged and your ride "Detailed" while you wait. In L.A.

Close-outs. Demos. Audition piece, whereby a dealer elected not to carry the line ect. I do enjoy the services of Authorized Dealers but it's product, price & availability dependent for me (or how broke I am).
I don't eat meat, so I decided not to use "Bacon" in the aforementioned reference.
