Thank you everyone - I got convinced to try out a refurb pair for $130.
(I had a $30 extra coupon to use on ebay to bring them down nearly to $100)
Reviews seem great on the refurbs and I've actually bought other refurb items from Secondipity before and been very impressed.
I have a question about the jack on the 1AM2. Can you use a standard 3.5mm cable with it?
It's my understanding that running them balanced yields some nice benefits, and I may try that eventually, but I also would like to occasionally hook them up normally to a FiiO BTR5, Shanling UP4 or Earstudio ES100 for wireless usage around the house...
But I'm worried about that jack. Am I reading it right? It's non-standard in some way?
Perhaps ultimately I'll use them balanced with one of those wireless options also (since both offer it in 2.5mm), but again, getting additional non Sony cables to do balanced (or otherwise) -- that's a hangup here, yeah?
Thank you
