Hi noobvious, your ultrasone - may be HFi 780 - looks good (post #872). Why not Sennheiser HD598? And does it need an amplifier in-between? ( Obvious noob, me :))

What one sees in these music videos:
Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, an unreal landscape in western Turkey, famous for its white terraces. The terraces are made of travertine, a sedimentary rock deposited by water with a very high mineral content from the hot springs. (hmmm.... it is not ice/snow but calcium/carbonate rock.)
Cappadocia’s tuff cones, termed fairy chimneys. The fairy chimneys have been formed as the result of wind and water erosion of two different volcanic layers: A thick layer of tuff (consolidated volcanic ash) covered by a thin layer of basalt that is more resistant to erosion. Due to the ease of carving into the tuff, many of the fairy chimneys at Cappadocia have been hollowed out over the centuries to create houses, churches and storage facilities.
The ancient city of Ephesus with its amphitheatre and carefully resurrected library facade.
Looking at the structures, the amphitheatre reminded me of the Colosseum in Rome
and the long pillars in the library facade and adjoining areas the Forum/ruins at Pompeii.
And a quick read-through of the history of Turkey indicated that it did have a Roman period. Period.
