Nah, I don't hate him. I just need to find out where he lives... and maybe his daily schedule.

same headband as the RS-1. (I think... only time I saw an RS-1 was at the san jose meet, but I am pretty sure it was the same) I don't know if you can use it, since it is metal where it attaches to the cups and probably hard to take apart. if you are looking for a similar headband, but want some plastic cup holders that are easily opened, the RS-2 headband seems to work well. NeilPert posted about this in a thread a while back, I assume he won't mind you PMing him for more information.

Nice setup man!

But seriously. For those bucks, ever thought of a speaker setup?

EDIT: That sounded weird and offensive. Absolutely no pun intended.
Still, speakers create an, IMHO, more realistic sound.

How much does that Accuphase cost in Japan? You mentioned they are much cheaper in Japan compared to here.

Used ones on audiogon are around 4-5k.

For speakers, may I humbly recommend Infinity IRS V, truly the king of all speakers.

PS: I only dream that I had the wealth to acquire these

you can look in my profile if you couldn't make out the pictures.

I could of course upgrade to the transport / decoder setup of the DP-100 / DC-101 which apparently retails for $28000 in the US combined according to a FS ad at audiogon (quite overpriced compared to japan). but it shouldn't be too different than what I have and will be much more of a hassle to bring back from japan.

I live in an apartment and move around now and then being a student... nevermind that for now I seem to like headphones more than speakers. Quote:

oh really? tell me where those are and I would go and get one right now since it is so cheap.

the DP-77 (and the model it replaced, the DP-75) which are models below mine usually go for that price, maybe even more if in good condition.

By any chance would your grandparents be interested in adopting another grandson?

Beautiful system! I agree with Canman. I would have every pr. of dynamic phones I had where they could be used fully balanced.
What tube amp are you getting for the R10's?
