Good 2nd post '97 - to each their own . . . I have a pair of $600 in ear monitors (earbuds or small headphones to normal people). People crap their pants when I tell them that. However, on a headphone internet forum I am lacking (no DAC, no portible amp, no cryo line out cable for my ipod, etc)

God Bless Assos and their customers . . . there is a market and someone filled it.
