SWEETWATER.COM

They are very honest and customer service oriented. My company buys from them. Tell 'em I sent you.

I have got items from Sweetwater, zZounds, American Musical Supply, and Mercenary Audio without problems.

Where full of fake sellers/buyers/goods. Tons of fraud and they don't care. Sure to get into trouble from time to time. Better stay away from it.

How do you fake headphones? Is it just a cheap pair with an AKG decal added?

Those of us who are audiophiles use a site called HeadRoom. It's like the guitar rodeo for us. The forum equivalent to the AGF is headfi.com. It's a good place to read reviews and do homework before purchasing big ticket headphones etc
