I just bought a set ofAKG K-55 headphones yesterday for...39.95 at L&M... about 6 months ago they were 5 bucks more, either this is a reflection of changing dollar values, or, their just ttryna get rid of stuff.
When I was computer shopping, I did find a lot of cheaper prices in the US, but when I factored in the cost of shipping I found my savings to be fairly minimal. Albeit there was still a savings to be had, I found it comforting to have what I wanted that day, instead of waiting for all the fun stuff to occur at the border. Plus it helps the local economy

Musical gear is pretty much the same I have found, although the one price that is really killer still is that delta 1010 lt for $249 American. Theres a link here somewhere. I only say this because I noticed you are looking at a delta 66, I have one, and well, damn I wish I had a 1010 instead
. Then again I sometimes am recording multiple instruments, you may not be.
Vansterdam island sounds like a nice place. I get to check it out in August for two weeks. Isn't that around harvest time ?
PS Sometimes those fellows at AX really piss me off with the goddamn condecentious attitudes they give a person, especially yesterday on the phone. As of right now I'm spending my dollars elsewhere. This may only be a local thing. Pukey attitudes I can deal without.
