I tried fixing the pics. No idea whether they will show to everyone, but I can see them alright lol
Bittergourd, thanks
When you say scammed, you mean you got ripped off? That's terrible - it would've been nice to have more people using this player, and you don't want people taken advantage of over it. Hopefully you've picked up your spirits and are waiting for the new HD30GA9 to be released!
Strings, yeah I think HD20GA7 is a bit too much to be a second player. ihp-140 is a great player anyway
hoob, I used to have Gigabeat F21 before X5L and Kenwood, and I did quite like it - nice clear sound, and the F21 I had was black and it was the sleekest, the most handsome player in the market.
But the highs tended to distort to worrisome levels, and the GUI drove me crazy.. Although for the price you can get Gigabeat F-series now, they're great deals I reckon.
MartinJ, HD30GA9 has
just come out in Japan, so I think it would be at least a while before you can see one in Europe. I'm hoping to get one shipped here in Korea soon, so I'll give you feedback on how much an improvement it is to HD20GA7. As far as HD20GA7 in Europe is concerned, there's a Dutch guy in DAPreview who bought one from the site mentioned by fjf, so that might be a place you can try.
Lsportline43, thanks! I think certainly in North America the price won't be so prohibitive. Also, there was a report in DAPreview which said that Kenwood was indeed planning to release HD20GA7 in Europe officially, so you never know - it probably won't be as insanely priced as in Japan
Apart from the UK, of course lol
