Dunno, but sometimes I wonder about my post count (at least that's free

) and if I'll be one of the earliest "Headphoneus Supremuses" in Head-Fi history...

HD 600 - $200

Carda cables - $150

denon dcm 380 - $100

about 20 or so CDS - $100

SHX1 - $275

about 5 months of lurking these forums.. saving, hoping, praying ETC.

Man, I took a while compared to you guys. I had the DT250-80/airhead combo for about a year and a half it seemed. Then I bought HD600s. Three months later I got the NS500V and then the MOH with some good ics.

here's to about $2,300 well-spent dollars.

Cheers,
Geek

for other newbies: just in case you get the wrong impression, I have to reassure you that this hobby is not ALL about spending contests. audio comes into play... occasionally...
