Not to mention you got a reasonably well argued thread about gear vs music deleted which was annoying as hell.
And your ridiculous assumptions that people that buy more music than gear live in their parents basement or have shitty lowfi setups made you look like a huge dumbass.
We don't give a shit about post count, but when you go around posting one word replies in all caps it's sort of annoying.
You spammed an emoticon with a flamethrower in countless threads, you wonder why they were deleted?
Well in that case if you don't care about a USA warranty they're around $1550 on pricejapan.com.
I might be one of the few people here that thinks highly of the Omega 2 since I don't hear it mentioned much here.
I would avoid getting the SRM-717 or SRM-007t amp and go straight for a Headamp KGSS.
In fact it will cost you less, since you can get the Omega 2 (headphone alone) from ElusiveDisc.com for $1800 and still have a USA warranty.
I would love to compare my im716 to an E500. The im716 sounds really close to the ER4p, and I feel it has really good extension for an IEM while not sacrificing any of the highs.
sovkiller is a good guy and all but come on. What is it about U shaped FR's that makes people flock to these headphones? It's the same with the DT770. Midrange = music. I'll get to hear the Ed9 at the Boston meet, will update my impressions.
