    Perhaps check Amazon UK / Take2 imports? Paid R1,800 all inclusive for my HD595's 1.5 years or so ago. Was a brilliant price, went up to R2,500 in no time.

    Then I got my HD650's for R3,500. Another phenomenal price.

    I bought my HD555's about 4/5 years ago for just under a grand. About 2 years ago, they started making a scratchy noise, which was due to the cable worn out right at the jack. Phoned them, and the next day a guy dropped a replacement cable off, at my home.

    Best service evar.

    Actually, I do. My Xonar Xense goes up to 600. But I'm sure I can find something way better with the R9k you and Grimstoner are going to save me

    Lolz, so does my Essence, but it's more like less than 300Ohms. Can't drive HD650's properly. Would need an amp for sure. Good joke though!

    I had to send my Sennheiser HD280 Pro's in for repair recently and their support was really top notch, really impressed which as you know is very hit and miss in SA.

    I am looking to get myself a pair but I am struggling to convince myself to get R2000 headphones, are they really worth it?

    Yes.

    But I recommend buying here, 3-4 day shipping from USA. Should work out to +-R1,700. Saving to go towards sound card.

    Email my friend Brian, blarson [at] razordogdeals [dot] com

    Also Google Razordogdeals coupon, might be some more savings to be had.

    Don't have one at the moment but are saving up for one as it will be my next purchase. Any recommendations for an affordable card that is worth to buy? What price range are one looking at?

    Thanks

    Asus Xonar U3 is quite nice. With amp. Portable too (USB).

    Asus Xonar DG PCI (also has an amp).

    Anything really, since your 'phones are 50Ohm - they'll sound good with an un-amped sound card. Not at their best though.

    Of course, if you can save up (and find) a Xonar Essence ST/X, that'd be my pick.
