Welcome to Japan!
Greetings from Top Wing Corporation (IFI:Japan) who are exhibiting at this years headphone festival!
"Thank you for coming to the Headphone Festival all the way from your far country. I hope the Festival will be so very crowded with consumers and press people, as this is one of the biggest festivals in the world for headphones and portable audio products. Our TopWing booth is the biggest (7 tables and 15 chairs) in the venue. So many people will visit us. The venue of the Festival, Nakano Sun Plaza. You can enter the venue at 9:00 a.m. on the 24th. Our booth is “Room 3” of the sketch. Please come to the TopWing booth (Room Flower) on the sixth floor and visit us! Thank you!"
We would like to take a moment just to say that we LOVE Japan! Transportation, food and the people. We are grateful we have Japanese DNA in our company. Couldn't wish for better

Sorry W.D.. That sucks. We all know that "life happens" sometimes though.
Q: "Why didn't you follow my posts? I talked about this ALL last week?"
A: "Sorry Dude, the Chemo and Radiation treatments just take it out of you, you know?"
A: "Yeah, my job sent me to a cluster of small villages where Aids treatment was next to non-existent, and there was practically no WiFi, and I felt guilt about eating-up the Sat com bandwidth we had for emergency logistics in order to read forum posts..."
A: "Sorry, just finished dropping my daughter and new son-in-law off at the airport to start their honeymoon. Wedding rehearsal and last minute planning took all my time this last week and a half..."
...Yeah, life happens. As well it should.

If I win one next time, I'll offer it to you. I plan on buying one anyway.

Thank you iFi. Received the prize yesterday. Haven't had the time to hook them up but will do so once I get over with work on hand.
@wormsdriver, sorry about that. I guess luck just happens to be with me at this point of time.

To everyone, I have no bad feelings on my part, I just thought it funny that like most people I'm like "man, I never win anything!" then when I actually do, I messed up and didn't claim my prize!

^ You will be in awe at what this thing does to the sound.
Been enjoying mine for almost a month now and it lifted the performance of my Theta Gen Va Dac to new heights.
