Sup pal! The rig sounds great. I can't wait till the next meet. I actually have something halfway worthy to show this time. I see that you ordered a set of HD 800...now I'M jealous. At least i'll get to hear them in a few months.

Yes to team Girl-Fi!
and team Math/Science-Fi....
That makes about 5 I know of who frequently post.

BTW: You should try the JVC DX1000 - pretty nice sounding, but just a little heavy on the bass for my taste. More isolating than the D2000 and simply disappear on your ears in terms of soundstage. Closest modern headphone to a Sony R10 IMO only about a level below.

If I could bare being without my CD1000, I would offer
