I love music so is all of this worth it?
I think i have seen enough to not buy into the hype
Viva la cd! lol
Then I listened.
I said it before, but it may be worth mentioning again.... You can read all about sex, but you ain't gonna know how it feels until you do it.I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.0 -

I have a bunch of audio shit in spread out in different rooms.
I store all of my computer audio files (524gb (and counting) worth of mp3s, wmas, and flacs) on a network attached storage unit in the basement.
At the main computer work station I use the Sennheiser HD 280 pros straight plugged into the headphone jack. It probably could use some dedicated amplification...
In the living room, I have a home theater setup.
Sony STR-DG1000 This ES quality unit is great for HDMI 5.1 processing but also has dedicated "2 channel" and "analog direct" settings that bypass all of the effects and processing. It's also super loud.
Bose Acoustimass 10 "Bose hate" if you want to, I hear and have no problem with the satellite/subwoofer setup.
Windows 7 tower with a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard. This allows a 24/96 coaxial connection or Analog RCA connection directly into and out of the receiver. I used to use the blu-ray player alot, but not so much anymore.
I do record analog tapes and LPs into the machine, using Sound Forge 10 Pro by Sony and
Technics SL-L92 direct drive turntable, (caution...this video is sleep inducing, and most def not me....) Grado M1+ cart
Nakamichi DR-8 cassette
the aforementioned Pioneer Elite DV-37 for CD
In another room I have second system as well...more about that later.

Returned my Sennheiser Momentums and bought the NAD VISO HP50s.... WOW! Incredible headphones.... Not as harsh as my ATH-M50s and not as muffled as the Momentums... Highly Recommend!0

My m50x's blew a driver today after 2 weeks. Petty disappointing. Exchanged them for a poo Air of beyer dynamics 770's. So far they sound better than the m50's.joberschlake said:I just got a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x. These sound GREAT! Huge improvement over my Bose ear buds.
