Wow it's been a year since my last entry. My computer is getting faster and faster, but my audio gears have shrunk 
I'm now only keeping what I think are worth their place, even though that means selling the others at a loss.

It is very possible I will regret it, but I have put my Benchmark DAC1 USB, HeadRoom Micro DAC 2007, and my Meier Corda Arietta on sale. I need to downgrade my setup so I can raise some funds for getting some computer stuff.
My CRT monitor (A Samsung SyncMaster) is really going. I can't see fine details in photos or games.... In fact, when the game gets dark, I only see large areas of pitch black, and can't see where I'm going...
