Am I becoming overly obsessed?
Here's my history:
Mid-May 2002 I bought the Airhead and Etymotic ER6 canalphones from Headroom. I was astounded by the sound, so I started reading these forums. In June I returned my Airhead and ER6 for the Total Airhead and ER4P + S adapter. Also, I bought the Sony CE775 cdp and have bought a half dozen or so SACD's. I'm in heaven now, but I continue reading these forums. I've already spent more money on music than I ever intended; it's now hard to listen to my computer speakers playing mp3's.
Today, I had another thought (and rationalized it too):
I'll keep what I have (mostly for office and travel), but for my home office (where the CE775 sits) Iwould like to purchase the following:
From Jan Meier: Corda HA-1 and Sennheiser 600 headphones (I'll sell my Grado SR80's).
Outlaw interconnects (I currently have old Audioquest Turquoise).
Cardias or Clou replacement cables for my new Sennheiser 600's (maybe I should wait until Christmas).
Vibrapods (#3) for the CE775.
First of all, am I crazy? Second, what do you think of this set-up?
(I love the ER4x, and plan to continue wearing them at home, but I thought it would be nice to have variety, so I thought of replacing the Grado SR80's with the Sennheiser 600's. Besides, I can buy the 600's at a great price when I buy the Corda HA-1 from Jan). Good idea?
Thanks for your help.
Michael
