Here is a pic of them. Thanks for the help so far too

by the way i got the B&W Nautilus 805 loudspeaker

So for the first time im trying out my first speaker set up! I have never heard of nice speakers in my life so this will be intresting. Due to my lack of knowledge, i also dont know much about what else to get for these speakers... I will be using my zhaolu computer as source via glass...

Rancid

1. he90 or omega I 2. omega II 3. he60 4.rs-1 5 hp1000

hey, It was going to be a patek phillipe, but the seller was to sketchy and was bad with communication. I ended up getting a cartier santos 100 chronograph, rolex daytona, rolex GMT-II, and I just got a daniel roth. I posted pictures in the member lounge thread that says "watches another...

Have a good 1 Adrian!

Cartier santos 100 chronograph here on my wrist : group shot of: cartier, rolex gmt-master II, and daytona "f" series My friends Panny power reserve (with some fog inside...) its not fake either and my latest and greatest daniel roth 18k white gold masters...

Ya, thats my reason for not getting speakers either. As a college student I'm always moving around. Besides Headphones offer the best price performance ratio! I think almost everyone can agree with that statement.

I dont think there has be direct comparisons, but thats going to change at the national meet..I hope (it should as all that equiptment will be there)

hah, call me a hypocrite, but there is a deal for a watch I cant deny. You guys know how I am when I see opportunity for a good deal...Ive always been sprastic about selling things so Here I am selling my omega I on ebay. Ive been getting into watches latley and one came up for a price I cant...

wow, congrats. Whats those wires coming from the tubes do?

HAh, thanks Rob, but I dont think anyone can ever take away my enjoyment for music right now. It's just not possible. Thats one of the reasons I havn't ever really thought about buying another source; because I've been enjoying too much. Even Here, you can see with the orpheus the same zhaolu...

arnt those both cd players? I need something to use with my computer.

Thanks spritzer, I Like more clean and very detailed sound. Fun factor is big for me which is why I think I enjoy this set up so much. I enjoy the rs-1 more than the hp-1 too because the hp-1 sounds too boring/dull with little fun factor. One of the reasons I think i like this set up more...

random tube shot from last night with lighting in the background

Well, right now I happend to like this source, but maybe its because I have never heard better? What would you guys recommend? I would like to stay under 4,000 If i do end up getting a better source. I would most definantly be using my computer for music. Anybody around Santa Barbara with an...

Thanks hugz, I sold the Benchmark, but i do remember how it compared to the zaholu. The Benchmark sounded too cold and edgy but detailed and good bass. The zhaolu is warmer and has all the detail and maybe more that the dac1 had to offer without that grainy coldness to it. The Benchmark dac...

Ya, why is the zhaolu bad with electrostats? It doesnt seem too weak for this set up at all. Maybe b/c The Aristaeus pushes the headphone so much so it makes up for it? I duno, but all of this is making me want to look into a new source.

thats actually my girlfriends hand shaking. Shes blow drying her hair lol..

yup! GOOD EYE
