I was cheering for the HD600 because I also love them.
You're welcome, Serge. The Oppos are a great headphone to take with you for use with a portable player, like the Astell & Kerns. Easily driven by the A&K.

For some reference to the PM-1s, search for an Oppo PM-3 review at SBAF (the one I quoted from here written by "Hands"). There's reference in that review to the PM-1s and PM-2s.

I love the Senns, too. I'm listening to them right now as I write this...a hidden track on Melody Gardot's The Absence, Iemanja, Melody's singing with African beats!
