Hey Pristine Note.
Its great to see a dealer engaged with the customers on a personal level. I'd like to upgrade to a better pair of headphones (been stuck with my HD202 for years now), and have browsed around for several hours trying to gather reviews on the kind what would let me enjoy the music I'm into.
I've narrowed down my choices to, knowing fully well how different they all sound (I might end up owning several of these over time),
1) Audio Technica ATH-M50
2) Alessandro MS-1 | Grado SR60i | Audio Technica ATH-AD700
It'll be great if you have the M50 in stock, as that's the one I'd like to gift to my girl. The open headphones are for me, and I've listed them in order of my preference.
Assuming now that you don't currently have either the M50 or the MS-1 in stock, could you kindly give me an estimate on how long it'll be before I can own a pair of either of them?
Also, do the AD700 perform well with laptop (with a reasonably good audio chipset), iPods, Sandisk Clip and regular music phones? Would they need an amp?
And speaking of amps, could you also let me know if I can get myself the NuForce Icon or the FiiO E11 from you?
I'll try making it easy for you to respond to this -
ATH-M50 - Estimate on when it might be available - Amp needed?
Alessandro MS-1 - Estimate on when it might be available - Amp needed?
NuForce Icon uDAC - Estimate on when it might be available - Price - Does it work as an amp?
FiiO E11 - Do you stock these? - Price
Thank you for your time. Again, its very nice to see a dealer be this supportive and open with his customers.
Thank you for the response #PristineNote. I've already ordered the E10 for myself from your website, along with two pairs of M1. I'm a little apprehensive about the quality of the E10 though, now that I've read some reviews that I had missed earlier - faulty jacks being my primary concern. I'm just hoping I receive a good one that doesn't have the issue, hopefully. If I do receive a faulty piece though, what kind of support can I expect from you?Sorry for the late reply #dienver ,
ATH-M50 -
Estimated arrival of next lot - 25-35 working days .Feb end or March 1st/2nd week latest .
