The ES is the way to go, it sounds better than the regular Sony. There's a very recent post on this: "Wh... | |

| analysis plus differences A valid point, and a misunderstanding on my part.You could try buying both from a place that allows returns, or if fatwyre.com (I think that's the right address) has them you could rent them. Listen to one combo for one week, then the other for a ... | |
| Feedback does not alway tell all Jvia, my experiences are not unique.And I can assure you we had not "made a deal", money was not even discussed. Although I like the way you expanded that into a nice skit. We went from "Maybe he thought he had made a deal with you " to "once you ... | |
