Huh - that's sun bathing weather where I live - has anyone noticed it's always the Southern softies on the TV news with how bad (allegedly) the weather is down south? The UPS vans are under the snow up here!

I have Form 1's and A8's - I actually prefer the A8's (if properly fitted and sealed in the ear) to the Form 1's. I find the latter to have a poor bass/presence balance, they sound either bass light or too sibilant/strident depending on what you are listening to.

Today my "Revolver" remastered CD arrived - I'm well impressed, still the only way to fly for me (I particularly like the stamp (or even fine art) analogy
