How can you get a genuine one though. 

Fake E888 is extremely well made, I won't recommend any place that is less than very reputable. It is still a very popular model in Asia so picking one up from a Sony store or authorized dealer is still pretty easy, but online is a different matter of its own.

The E888 has been nearly impossible to find from Japanese online retailers for a while now. Kakaku.com for example isn't showing any stores that have E888s available. They are not listed on Sony's website as discontinued, but they are currently out of stock at Sony's online store. (Actually, 販売終了 is more literally translated as "no longer for sale" as if they are not expecting another shipment.) If I recall correctly, the latest E888s were made in Thailand, but I'm not sure if the flooding there has anything to do with the lack of supply.

I've had nothing but good dealings with them. Though none recently. The price has gone up recently as well. They were $50.

would you say the  paa pro share a similar sound with the pk1?


No, not totally. They both share a sense of warmness in their presentation, but ultimately PK1 is much open sounding than PAA-1 Pro.

Clieos,
Y U no post Blox M2C?


Because I am quite busy recently. and still recovering from a bad case of flu, so I haven't been able to finish it up. Anyway,. I'll post it up by the end of the week.
