Your reverse logic is confusing me.

 

[stang]

That sentence is confusing me...

You don't have to spend much more to have a quiet pc. 2k is like saying headphones are crap unless you spend 10k.

 

[stang]

Ahem. "If it's quiet it is either overheating, crappy components"

I would call my computer fairly average.

i7 920 @ 4ghz
evga X58 Classified
3x2GB 2000mhz ram
500gb HDD
Windows 7
ATI 4770 (just bought ATi 5850 a few hours ago

)

IOM, I think your computer is quite high performance

It's much better the one that I have (Classical model with age more than 4 years)

and the budget in buying new part, I spend it on headphones and other related components

I sold both my GTX 285s and SSD to fund this audio hobby, but have realised the Grado HF-2 and AD700 are all I need, so I am selling my DT880 and ALO-780 to fund another ATi 5850

I hope someone buys at least one of them soon

I really miss playing games maxed out with no lag whatsoever.

The only things I need to upgrade as far as Audio is concerned is my Zero DAC to a Matrix Mini-i (or Lavry DA11 later on) and to try a Denon D5000.

I hope someone buy them all very soon...

Actually, I cannot decide to sell my headphones (every headphones is good for me

) However, I sold 4 headphones (Grado SR80i, Sennheiser HD25-SP II, AKG K512 and Goldring DR50) to buy K701.

Now, I'm using Alessandro MS1, Grado HF2, AKG K701, ATH-A900 and AD900. I plan that I'll upgrade to A2000x and AD2000 or tube amp soon.

For the computer parts, I think my parts cannot be sold because my computer's spec is too low

I cannot install new game due to too low specification. I installed Assassin creed on my computer in January and I cannot play it (too lag with lowest resolution)

IOM, Denon D5000 is very good for you. I tried my friend's D5000 and it can provide bass and impact very well

 

[Trysaeder]

I dunno about your GPU, but mine easily makes up 85% of the computer fan noise. No exaggeration.

Or it's a Mac

 

[stang]

haha. I'm not too fond of them. I don't really like laptops either, but they can come in handy a lot though.

For 240 gb iMod.... <<< It's very large capacity to store a lot of songs h

YES!!

I rip cds into wav if i have the cd with me, so accumulates quickly

One thing I've learned from selling computer parts is that the depreciation is absolutely horrible on those things. Headphones, on the other hand, don't depreciate as badly. Or at least they don't in the condition I keep my stuff in.

You should really consider sticking with a single card solution when the next gen cards come around. I'm sure a single HD6870 will run BF:BC2 at over 60 fps. If you really want to flex your e-peen then go for 6 monitors + HD5870 eyefinity edition

it'll make for some epic gaming sessions.

 

[stang]

Haha, I would never go more than 3 monitors. I was literally going to go for 3 22" Full HD monitors at $200 each, but I skipped that idea because it would only be good (IMO) for racing games and flying games, which I rarely play anymore. Anyway, I think I am going for one 5850 now and when my birthday comes around (May 21st), I am going to ask for another for Crossfire. Until Crysis 2 is released in December (supposedly), I will be more than ok

.

I keep changing my priorities, but as of now, I don't want to try Denon headphones anymore, or really get speakers (would rarely use them, I've had some before, not my kinda thing). The next thing (and final...for now) I hope is a Audio-GD DAC-19 DF or DAC-3SE. Then I don't have to worry about audio stuff for a while. From there, I am going to focus on my computer (hopefully mod the heck out of it)

Can't wait to hear your HD800

Anyone know of a shop that lets you audition headphones?
