List your next planned upgrade and your means of acquiring them!

9-to-5 job? Lottery? Trade? Bank robbery? Drug deal? Insider hookup? Inheritance?

Probably Senn HD-650... and probably saving up for 6 months or more, + what I get from selling the HD600s.

Yah, I know... very boring...

Source and amp.

Anyone need a hitman?

I'm pretty satisfied with my entry-level collection of V6, MX500 and KSC-35.
I plan to make a bunch of money through drugs and then give myself a $10K headphone budget. Hey, at least I'm not buying an Escalade and putting in rims or something. I have class!

Just bought a gilmore v2 using the money I sold my mg head with. Later, I plan on selling the 580/blues and buying etys or sr-200s. That'll take a bit though, as I just bought the gilmore and I need to think of other people in this season as well.

hopefully, no cans upgrades anytime soon. I just got hifi650 and need a new cord on my K340. I also need cash to recap my amp, to mod my cdp further, to build a small usb dac, to build an amp for my computer, to...

I need a new source in the next year or 2, not sure what I want yet or how much I'm going to spend. I'm hoping Canada legalizes marijuana so I can farm the plants to finance my future purchases. Failing that I'll volunteer myself for medical research and drug testing.

Next purchase is a new source. The funding will be from my credit card. And somewhere down the line, from my job.

Since the next purchase I would even consider would be quite expensive, I would say a couple of things: selling off a duplicate body part like a lung or kidney would be a nice start. Following that, I plan to get a job while in the states next trip and use the money to save up towards whatever I decide to buy. I also plan to use some benefits from writing to buy said amp at a cheaper price. Without the job and accomodation pricing I am happily listening to what I have. I have no real desire to upgrade anything right now, but if I hear something that powers the Omega IIs a lot better than the KGSS I will do whatever I can of the above to buy the amp within a couple of years.

As of now I am done. But with the current Stax craze going on (Omega II's in particuilar, I don't dig the other stax) I may be looking to jump on them. Which means that I will take a contract this summer and the money will go straight to that. Though, I am actually really eyeing a Turn Table right now and I would prefer to jump on that.

Tiger Woods beat me to the job I really wanted but it doesn't pay as well as CEO of A Major Corporation About To Screw Its Employees And Stockholder's , so perhaps that is what I'll do.

I don't really need my car, and losing some weight would be good. I need to keep my condo in order to have a steady source of AC. Hmmm... almost time to open "Hirsch's Tube Shoppe"...but only after I've sold off any superfluous body parts and such
