I shocked myself earlier... I posted at Groovehandle.org, and saw my signature from January 2003:

Quote:

My Rig: B&W Aura CD50 CD Player -> QED Qunex Silver Spiral IC -> Musical Fidelity X-Can V2 -> Cardas Headphone Cable -> Sennheiser HD600 / ETY 4P-4S Converter -> Etymotic ER4P / Sony MDR-CD1700s (running at 100ohms)

Now compare that with today:

Quote:

My Rig: Marantz CD63SE -> AudioQuest Quartz III -> Stacked out JMT META42 -> Grado RS1

Bit of a change huh?

How much of your rig has changed in the first 5 months of 2003?

Well..

My system at the beginning of 2003:

[size=x-small]Some PCDP --> Straightwire mini-RCA --> Headroom Cosmic --> Sennheiser HD580[/size]


My system now?:

[size=x-small]Philips DVD963SA --> Cardas Neutral Reference --> Melos SHA-1\Mullard 7308 Gold Pins --> Grado HP-2[/size]


Quite a progression, I'd say...

 

[Flasken]

vwap, that is just crazy!!

Though I'm sure Braver can beat that...
