    Dharma here too, although that Final Audio one seems interesting in theory.

    You doing a poll for this too, Marv?

    Hands, send me your address via PM and I'll send you my H128s. Do note, one of the cups is loose. I will try to super glue it or something!! LOL! I LOVE LOVE their sound but man... their construction quality SUCKS! Whoever designed these (and their little brother), I don't know what they were thinking (regarding reliability!).

    Check.

    I put the poll up. Time to plead your cases. Remember, not everyone keeps up with everything. I would also advise on not voting for only expensive headphones, but rather to mix it up. Votes can be changed at any time.

    Man I like this site. There's great promise of the things to come with this kind of open and democratic approach.
