thanks esun...i've since emailed them for pricing...one vote in favor of the staxes...i was becoming a little concerned that the stax cans would not be suited for my taste in music...the alternate cans i was considering were the ever-popular sennhesier hd600s...however i've read much that says the grados trump the hd600s...and i did not like the feel of the grados on my head (albeit not their top of the line) but i suspect they all fit and feel more or less the same...so i am a few steps closer to purchasing the staxes...
i would really like to thank esun and jbweaver for the heads up on the stax distributors...im going to save so much that i have now started to consider the 40/40 system

i am curious how much of an upgrade the 40/40 is over the 30/30 system...i know i go from a ss to a tube drive unit and the cans are not the same...but is it worth $500 more?

please advise...
thanks in advance everyone...
