Having heard the MDR-R10's at the last NYC meet, though I only experienced them for 10 minutes in rather loud conditions, I can't stop thinking about their absolutely amazing signature. Lush doesn't even begin to describe the warmth, depth, and silkiness that seemed, to me, to span the entire frequency range.
Of course, $5000+ is twice as much as I spent on my car (hooray for 1995 Corollas!!!), and I also have a policy of not spending more than my SAT score on any single piece of equipment. Typically I like to limit everything to only my Math score, but the K1000's demanded I dip into my somewhat less impressive verbal
Not to mention the R10's are impossible to find, even if I did win the Mega Millions Jackpot...
That being said, what headphone can I buy that are similar in sound to the R10's? Closed/open, supra/circumaural, I could care less. But anything that can replicate that sound below $1000 would be awesome, and I of course have no objections to anything costing $100
Running through a DacMagic to a MK VI, what kind of options do I have?
