Hee hee I can't quite contain my glee sitting here with a pair of Koss ESP/10 electrostatic headphones. UNBELIEVEABLY crisp clarity. Just made my way through Luke Slater's Purely, which I know backwards - and I swear I heard sounds I didn't know were there before. They come with their own little dedicated processor box to modulate the headphone plates, L & R VU meters zapping up and down... wow. Wonderful sonic detail. They make Plastikman's In Side sound like it mushrooming out of my brain. Probably is too. I *

I've got a pair of Sony MDR-V600 for my at-work listening pleasure. They're very comfortable, and have a very wide dynamic range... 6hz - 30,000hz I think. They might be discontinued by now, but they're by far the best investment I've made in audio gear this year. -- jr
