This has REALLY been an eventful last few days... I'm not sure how to tell the story without dragging it out forever.... Ok, well, the guy i bought my cables from (some local guy who does this stuff as a hobby) actually CALLED me up the other day to see how i liked them. I said i haven't got to really test them yet as i still didn't have my amp or headphones. I mentioned i was in the hunt for some Sony MDR-R10s and he said he knew a few people that still had some in stock. The closest guy he knew lived in Dallas.
Well, wouldn't it be my luck that my dad and i were going to see Queensryche down in Dallas on the 15th! So, of coarse we go down there, see the show, stay the night, then, on the 16th, we go to see the guy. Turns out he doesn't even have a shop, per say. He just collects stuff and usually sells and/or trades them at shows and stuff. The cable guy told us he'd call him and tell him we would be coming. So, we show up, talk to the guy for SEVERAL hours. He lets me try the phones out on the R10s with his system... Needless to say they blew me away... I have never heard anything so amazing in my life. Anyway, we talked for a long time and, to make an incredibly long story short, we come to terms on a price. We finally got back on the 17th and i've been sleeping, more or less, ever since.
I don't want to start a controversy like the Hart thread, so i'm not going to disclose the guy's name or price. Let's just say it's a price i definitely felt was more than fair. I seriously could not be happier. Can't wait for my amp to get in so i can get everything hooked up...
I just want to sincerely thank everyone who's taken time to help me put this whole thing together. I would've been completely lost if not for so many of the fine folks here. The reviews and recommendations have all been so incredibly helpful. Hopefully one of these days i'll be able to make it to some sort of audio "hi-fi" convention and try out even more stuff. But for the moment, and probably for an extremely long time i think i'm going to be really happy.
As a side note, i don't want people to think i spent ALL of my life savings on this system. I still have more than enough to build on. I spent a good chunk of it, but, IMHO, it's money well spent. I spend more time listening to my music than anything else. I just figured i have the money, i might as well make it an experience.
