All I have to say is, $5000 headphone amp with upside down XLR headphone jacks. Yes they're (most likely) board mounted, which is why, but for a statement amp, with all of Ray's supposed skill, that's just stupid.
Thanks for the birthday wishes guys. I was basically really tired last night, as it was the first day back (got in Saturday night). Taiwan was depressing to say the least. There was of course the funeral service, on top of that both me and my mother got sick while there so I basically spent the rest of my time dealing with the after effects of that.
Who knows. I have a phone number (of this guy's company that i can call). Most likely I will wait for my original payment to be refunded before sending this second payment.
