Damn right, Canada

I hold dual Canada / USA citizenship. I know where PEI and New Brunswick are on the map. I know where the Finch station is in Toronto. But I've lost the "eh" thing.

But Marv... how can you recommend something without owning it for at least a week?  walk the plank2

I have actually owned lot of this gear and 95% of it had at one point sat around in my house.

A great read!  If only you had seen my Head-Fi pm sooner about the TH900s going for $1100 on SonicSense.com a few months ago.  Thank you for your time on this guide!

Haha, I was just kidding. It was a typical HF response to people recommending gear.

I know you were just kidding. But I thought it would be a good idea to make that clear. And nothing on the list here was a manufacturer review "loaner".

Hehe. We once posted these on another site.  A small sample of some of the phones we've had for listening and testing.

That's my type of shoot-out: throw all the headphones in a box and shake it, the one that still works is the winner.

Must have been one hell of a meet. Too bad there's nothing like that on the East coast.

On another note, I had a chance to listen to Craig's LCD-2s when his wife brought them to the last NYC meet... but unfortunately I didn't take the chance. I hope that she comes back another time though, so that I could try them out.

Buying guide needs pics!!  :P

Glad to know I'm not the only one that thinks that the LCD-XC are not as engaging (and frankly not worth their steep price! And yes, I prefer the Alpha Dogs and Enigma's over them!).

Oh and thanks for the HE-560 impressions... I always wanted to try HifiMan cans and just bought a pair of these at a decent price.
