Thanks Klas, 
    I just now saw and listened your attached files you sent.  The 
second recording is a HUGE Difference in sound quality.  What 
Telinga Model was that in the second recording?  Very nice!
I looked into the Big Ear thing, and it is just a little to 
clumsy/heavy for me I think.  I don't think the Teling's come with 
headphones, I was wondering if you had any specific recommendations 
there?
Thanks again.  
John
