Are you an audiophile?

I will admit to spending $55 on a pair of AKG K 81 DJ's (and very nice headphones they are), but I wouldn't call myself an audiophile as those headphones are the most expensive piece of audio equipment that I have, and I run those straight out of my laptop. But I do like to have MP3s encoded in 192 kbps or greater (lossless is also good) and won't listen to anything below 128 kbps.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

On their website, they have a page where they have ordering information, so you most likely would have to contact them and ask for one. I can't give you a link because I need more posts to be able to do so, but just search for "Corda Aria" on google, and go to their home page. There should be a "how to order" link under info.

Either that or you could try out eBay, or browse through the head-fi forums and hope someone has it for sale.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Corda Aria costs
€375,- / $470,- outside EC
€425,- / $530,- inside EC
In other words, way too expensive for a a guy like me, so don't worry about me taking one.

You can check for the lastest updates in their prices for their amplifiers here:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not only does it vary from person to person, it also depends a lot on the equipment that you use to play your music. No one is going to be able to tell the difference between a 128 MP3 and lossless out of an iPod with stock earbuds. If you don't have top of the line equipment, or at least very good equipment, it is very likely that most of the precieved differences you hear between 128 MP3s and lossless are imagined (ABX testing can be a very humbeling experience ). That being said, I prefer my music lossless anyways

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
