The HD 25-SP II I bought was marked at like $279 on the shelf, but because of a minor scuff on the headband I got it for $215 - still ridiculous by US standards, I could probably have imported one for $80 or so, but what can I say, I'm a sucker for impulse buys

They look like they'd be a good source for E-MU/M-Audio/ESI stuff though, if anyone's after professional sound cards from local retail.

No worries for you... but it would seem the rest of us have reason enough to be... not sure I need a dose of your symptoms

Don't worry folks, it's not contagious, i just can't hear very well due to blocked tubes. Believe me, if i was/will be feeling crook the last thing i would want to do is spend an hour and half on a train or an hour in the car to attempt to listen to audio gear.

Plus i'm very lucky to be living a stones throw away from a member of this forum with the finest array of audio goodies i have ever come across, and is also very helpful and insightful to the world of audio reproduction

Hey pkjames I'd appreciate it if you could help me mod my ipod video
smily_headphones1.gif
I have all the parts needed, (Bg's and a lineout dock that's already opened, 28 or 30 gauge wire I can't remmeber, and the opening tool + some cardas solder and a crappy soldering iron)

You don't happen to hang around on overclockers dyu? I think I bought a headsix off you before...



Well, you are always welcome to my office in EE building, I can show you how to do it step by step, and you are welcome to use my gear if you prefer
smily_headphones1.gif
I did mine with some really crappy wire purely I just can't find any suitable ones around. We can talk about this when we meet.

BTW, I don't hang around @ overlockers, I sometimes pop up in whirlpool.

CHeers,
