I have some money to spend, either on music (cds) or on hardware (strongly
considering Cardas headphone cable for my HD600s). How do you think I
should spend it - music or hardware. I'm leaning towards music. Your
thoughts appreciated!

I vote for music.

Another vote for music. Don't bother with high-end cables if you have to compromise your music budget to buy them.

Defently music. So much more fun than equitment. I'm surprised every time I see these kids in the music forum telling about how they got a great rig now, and suddenly realished than they got no music to play

edit: that's cool three contributors in a row

if there is anything else you want to listen to that you dont own yet, get it. i'm lucky in that i am very happy with my music library, and picking up something new is just a whim. i've already put together a few "collections" of my faves, and since it's all on my ipod now, it's time to concentrate on how it reaches my ears - hence, me being on head-fi.

but yeah, if you are into, say, the Doors and you don't have at least one live bootleg, go get it. you owe it to yourself and your rig to pump it with musical goodness.

I've spent a fair amount on both over the past year. I've enjoyed my new toys, but music really is what it's all about.

Of course, depending on the amount of money in question one could do both.

My take on this is that if you're currently satisfied with the gear that you have and don't have the need to upgrade, then definitely spend it on music.

Spend it on music. If your budget forces you to decide on getting music vs. getting hardware, music is the logical choice.
