After my first time visiting this forum I spent $25 on PX200s.

After my second visit I spent $120 on e3c's.

Hmm.... This is my third visit....

Oh yeah! DAC! Whoops!

And why do I have the feeling a Cary Amp would make my Solo cry?

I'd really like to try and A/B my solid state amp against one of the big boys someday - it was too crazy to do it at the NYC meet, so busy. But a later time, perhaps...

If I listed everything, It'd have to include the THREE freakin' pairs of Ety 4's I've accidentally left on airplanes over the years

, and that'd just be too painful...

Yikes! I added it up and it's close to $2,000. All since I joined HeadFi. My sig says it all.

Wow this is sobering; I’ve spent $4350 just on headphone-related items. This doesn’t include the thousands I’ve spent on my 2 speaker systems or my car audio system. I’ve probably spent about $10,000 on audio gear since discovering this site. This is staggering, especially considering the fact that I was unemployed for over 6 months last year after graduating from University. I was never interested in high-end audio at all until I joined this site over a year ago (June 2003). All I wanted was a better headphone than my awful MDR-V600. Now I’m hopelessly addicted to audio (just as I have been addicted to music) but now I’m finally “done” with headphones and other gear. I’m now on the hunt for non-sample rate locked DVD-Audio discs…

Have spent £2850 ($5300) on a headphone set up. All brought second hand apart from power conditioner and WNA PSU. If I had brought from new in the UK would have cost the best part of £7500 ($14000). Its the Nordost Valhalla that bump it up, all sounds good though. Things are a lot more expensive in the UK compared to the US.

Long live eBay, AudiogoN, PayPal and international transactions.

Your just mad that he almost has you beat.

$770, soon to be $1570.

I'm a lightweight

But, this doesn't include the cost of salvaged components! Headphone rig ATM is around... Actually, I have no idea, since I don't know what all the salvaged stuff is worth. $500 for Stax SR-001 + PS + IC's, and ? for source/preamp. Then there is the portable, which is $410 all in all.

Definitely a lightweight.

Looking forward to being completely broke (but happy).

[Edit: Drugs + Sushi + Headphones + Music + Car + Computer (shudder to think what my box is worth

), how do I afford all this...]

 

[HD-5000]

Spent about $400 on my headphone system, very good for someone thats been around since September of 2001.

Although I wouldn't take advantage of his generousity by asking him for anything if I were you, if he knew you needed something he would probably just give it to you, that's just the kind of guy he is. What else can I say except, thanks Bill, your one of the reasons why Head-Fi is such a special place.
