A good job, that way I don't have to give up on anything ;) But seriously, a good education goes A LONG way.  There's a big difference between making 60k a year and 160k.  At those higher income brackets you can afford to spend 2k or so on headphones, plus another 30k on speakers AND still get...

I'm doing the exact same thing bro, they sound pretty good off my Fiio E9/E7

In case anyone was wondering, yes the E9 can drive the T1, not as well as some of the fancier amps I heard recently, but certainly acceptably.  I'm listening to them off the E9 as I type this in fact :)

Looking forward to seeing someone's impressions of the D7000s with Jmoney pads, as I'm looking into getting a pair :D

Newbie here, heard this is a good place for some info. I have a Fiio E7 + E9 setup with some HD 650s, these were my first amps after using the 650s unamped for...too long xD I recently had the chance to try out the Denon d7000 at the local audio shop and really loved how they sounded for the...
