Just got a pair of AD700's from amazon the other day. My first real pair of cans and love them so far. Just ordered a xonar dx to replace my onboard today and can't wait to hear the difference.

Balanced and accurate. Good enough that I probably won't miss my DX1000's low-end (most of the time).

I do, yes Trip-hop at its finest.
$50 used sounds tempting...may as well get them then sell them on if you don't like it, I can't see them dropping any lower value than that. How much you looking to spend?

Nothing like either of them. Tight, punchy, and balanced.

Seems like I've gone quite a bit missed a lot. I've been extremely busy at work, but all that work does have its rewards. My pocketbook will soon be a bit fatter.

Anyway, I'm thinking of selling my LD MKIII and my E-MU 0404 USB in favor of some upgrades. However, before I do, I want to take an interest check and see if anyone would interested. Pricing would be more than fair.

Hopefully work slows down a bit so I can catch up.
