So I went down to Kingsound in Mongkok - Hong Kong (http://www.headphonehk.com/, I have no affiliation, but highly recommended - I've purchased a lot of stuff over the years from them), to pick up some mundane cables as I'm re-dabbling with portable audio. I see a small group there so I saunter over, looks like some friendly locals having some sort of mini-meet at the store!. Holy shit, I see a R10...I've never seen or heard one.

So I politely ask the group if I could take a listen, not sure what the source was, they were using a McCormack Head Drive (??!!, not sure of spelling) -- this is just 3-5 minutes, but wow, just wow. For a nanosecond I thought about bolting and stealing it (this thought has never crossed me with any product in my whole life), but I thought better as there was 8 of them vs. me.

At current price, no way I'm ever going to own one. But I appreciate by happenstance I was able to hear and touch an R10. (fwiw, I'd take SJ's tatas over R10s anyday )

You be the judge, there are similarities...

The ol' bait and switch

Seriously

I can't quite decipher this...but there's some weird poetic mesmerizing symmetry to it. I'm going to stay up the next couple of hours trying to figure this out

Ill take the R10s

Is this what married life has done to you?

I've been reprimanded by Boomana. I take this seriously - I'm sorry. I'll take this silliness down (after 24 hours...). but the R10s were that good...in my confused mind. goodnight, I'll walk the straight and narrow starting tomorrow. JimP

Scarlett's breasts are really quite nice, but just think how they'll be in twenty some years. Throw in a kid or two and/or some plastic surgery...ugh. R10s are nicer in the long run.

And your R10s won't ever leave you for the next A list wannabe.

There is no going back on Head-Case

I will take (another) R10 anyday since I'm happily married.

What a disappointment.

I was actually pleasantly surprised about the real thread topic. I'm mean, I can see tatas anytime, but an R10 discussion? That's mighty rare.

I've visited the Kingsound shop in Mongkok. It's in an office building with a food stall right next to it, where I stop by for some HK-style street food.

The shop isn't really conducive for listening. All the headphones are in a glass cabinet or behind the counter. I remember they had a G&W amp on a small table in front of the counter and a few demo headphones.

If I'm going to HK, I'd also visit the store too:

They have a headphone club and forum as well

Elephas, you haven't been there in awhile? As I...they've expanded significantly

This thread sucks!!!

Your momma sucks, alright?!!! ... I can't erase this thread! I've already been reprimanded by boomana... don't pile on!

This thread sucks!!!

Hey! That was a long time ago, and I was drunk.

You're right, I haven't been there in a long time. Good to know they've been able to expand the storefront, shop floorspace is expensive in HK.

So that's who JimP is in real life...

no, no...I'm ryan seacrest...no I'm Mr. Whipple...no I'm the hand, just the Hand (but that's a gay hand...I'm confused)
