Some things a man just needs to decide for himself, like what car to buy, what house to buy, what girl to marry, and where to ask for such advice about which headphones to buy. This seems more like a Head-Fi question. That's the kind of place where you can get at least 100 people to give you bad advice. Of course, none of them will have heard all of the headphones in question, let alone have any real appreciation for your system (source, amp), sonic preferences, or the realities of your budget constraints. This is the kind of place where we're more interested in scotch, watches, bikes, photography, and all sorts of other things unrelated to headphones, because we've all learned that you either need to hear them with your own two ears within your own system, and then decide for yourself whether they're a good match with your sonic preferences and fit within your budget or just forget about them and invest in a high quality blow up doll instead, which is likely to give you more satisfaction than the mental masturbation you will otherwise be doing about them until you hear them for yourself. If $700 is a good price, and you won't desperately need that money soon, and these headphones are something you're interested in trying, then why not buy them to try them? If you don't like them, chances are you can sell them quickly (for $700 or something quite near to that amount). Nothing (or not much) lost. If you do like them, then you can sell the other ones that you don't like as much and repay yourself that way and maybe have enough left over for a decent quality (but not top of the line) blow up doll. We can probably give you some decent advice in terms of your options in that regard, actually.

DIY gets you the most bang for buck

Gryphon (top) and Tab, after a long day of catnaps.....

Mom? Nooooo ....

heh. going in late today; worth it

thats my experience.

iPhone picture..... For some of you who remember the better days of H-F, I used to give away some stuff now and then based on dumb contests. One was "where did my cats' names come from" My first cat, Athena, was named after an old company (not the Canadian speaker company) that made an impedance matching device called the Polyphasor - and that became her unofficial middle name. After her, SOTA Moonbeam, a.k.a. the Rambo Bose Kitty. Now, these two cats didn't both follow that convention. I WANTED to name the black and white one Merlin (middle name VSM, Very Scary Merlin), and the tabby one Gryphon (Diablo). But I got overridden and the black one is Gryphon, and the tabby one is Tab (Hunter). But seeing the glowing eyes, I think Gryphon Diablo works well for him..... [/diatribe]

you are pick-only, right? i only notice a difference in necks when fingerpicking. i do like the chug from a dreadnought on 'Old Man' ----- arts and crafts night for me. i should have gone up a size in boards. just laying things out, minus at a pedal at my office.

this sounds amazing now
