Well...Uncle Sam (USAF) housed and fed me for free from 1976-1980. The barracks was a hotbed of stereo and music geeks with a amazing variety of equipment and endless talk about said equipment. Endless selling and trading of equipment as well. Good times. BX on base sold equipment at some...

If it's the seller located in Texas I can vouch for the quality of the product. Just replaced the rotted rubber on the feet of my dad's PL-560 table with them.

Dave Mathews Band The Pineapple Thief Porcupine Tree Had tickets for Riverside but they had to cancel the Austin show due to entry delays. Was really looking forward to seeing them and hoping that they reschedule.

Sundara arrived today so listening across genres to all of my go-to tracks for demo. Impressed with them so far. Larger soundstage than the HE-560, more detail, a bit hotter high end but nothing fatiguing. Listening to tracks on the 24/96 Pat Metheny Group album, "First Circle" right now. Keepers.

For a slight bump up of your $200 headroom I would carefully consider these at Adorama: https://www.adorama.com/hmhe560v4.html?sdtid=15260920&emailprice=t&sterm=VB4Tc51sVxyLW0lwUx0Mo3b4UkBTP2R3Iy-ZQs0&utm_source=rflaid62905 I have the 560v3 and they are my go-to headphones for serious...
