What audio equipment should I take to Kirkuk, Iraq


Guys,

I may be sent on assignment to Kirkuk, Iraq. What audio equipment should I take with me - no wise cracks please, I have enough worries about this already. For obvious reasons, it has to be portable, play CDs, and of high enough quality to sate my analog/vinyl loving ears. I have the Sennheiser 600 headphones and an ASL OTL headphone but I am not sure whether the amp will work there. I also have a Radio Shack 3400 which has quit working so are there suggestions for a portable CD player with which I can use my Sennheisers.

Thanks

I would suggest you check out the Headroom website. They used to recommend portable players, if they don't have it on the site you can call them. If you don't know the voltage of where you are staying I would recommend a battery powered amp such as the Headroom amps. Just make sure you bring LOTS of batteries! Good luck on that assignment.
I am not familiar with the IPOD. How does one transfer CDs onto an IPOD ? Does it take long ? If it does than an IPOD may not work for me - don't have the time. I will look at the Headroom site though.

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks,
Noise cancellation headphones, bulletproof isolation box, meditation/relaxation music.
