Ok, so I tried to get the Doppios through one of the services, couldn't get it to work, gonna take it as a message, "you don't need any more headphones". There, feels better...

don't give up  the DOPPIOS are worth the effort to get them
pay even a little more to get them on ebay...they are a treasure...
nothing quite like them.  you may not need any more headphones
but these are one of a kind......reference level, musical, detailed
and emotionally involving.  and a bargain for what they achieve...
stay focused and hungry for the quest...

CDjapan/CoolJapanNow does special request ordering. They mark as gift and you can still get points to use and it is in English. Should be pretty low hassle and their prices are usually quite good too. Paypal payment as well.

  really great buy at that price.  Recommended. like the best of the Tenore and Basso combined into a wide soundstage
with great dynamics and texture.
 

Interesting. I've been eyeing the Tenores for quite a while now, but now I'm tempted to consider the Singolo :wink:
 
From kakaku.com:
* CARBO TENORE ZH-DX200-CT   - ¥3,810 ($37.5 USD)
* CARBO BASSO ZH-DX210-CB    - ¥3,810 ($37.5 USD)
* CARBO SINGOLO ZH-BX510-CS - ¥8,833 ($87 USD)
 
In other words, buying a pair of Tenore AND Basso ($75) would still be cheaper than getting a Singolo. Would you say that the Singolo really justifies the higher price?

I believe it, and I believe they're a bargain, but it's possible to "bargain" so well, with so many money saving deals, that you go broke (I'm always telling my wife, "look how much money I'm saving!"). Still, would have bought them, couldn't get Tenso or BuySmartJapan, both of which I've used in the past, to cooperate. Maybe I'll give CDJapan a try tonight, after I finish work and a dentist appointment (I'm sure I'll want to get myself something after seeing the dentist)

ha..after seeing the dentist you deserve ANYTHING YOU WANT!...AFTER my 20 year medical check up and being seen by
8 specialists inpatient for ten days for double pneumonia and more,  i spent all my budget on gear, got those Doppios
some PSB mu1s, and have on1s in my radar......who needs to eat when you have such lovely music in your head and the dentist
out of your mouth?  as for the wife factor:  "anything for the research projects" is my manta....the audio quest is a mission from
the higher universe......(no relationship between these comments and reality is claimed here of course.....)you can always claim temporary or permeant audio insanity....

good deals for sure on the Tenore and Bassos, which were 60$ when i got each of them.  but you can't listen to both of them at the same time.
if you want silky vocals and midrange, Tenores in your ears, if you want thickness and bass texture Bassos.  if you want both at the same time
SINGULOS are worth the extra money.......choices choices..  of course the Doppios are on another level completely, and are a monster
reference phone that is really unique....enjoy, all of those Zero audio products are super well tuned and worth every penny.....and sound good out of computer.  the Doppios actually sound better without an amp (thanks to DS for pointing that out...because of 12 ohm load) but still improve with good dac like the DRAGONFLY thats scaled power wise.......they make me hallucinate music with synthesis....true high end audio magic....Tenores would be my choice if on a budget and only getting one zero phone, quite impressive...but i suggest being ocd and getting all of them...ha....go Zero Audio!!!!!

Hmmmm, those PSB's have been on my radar a while as well, what do you think of them? I like the idea of earning "whatever I want" after the dental work... Audeze LCD-X, come to papa!
