Musicians and DJs on Head-fi! What do you own and how do you split your budget?

[wind016]

You guys have some serious equipment. Do you guys jam with local musicians?

Right now...nothing. Most of my stuff is in storage. My favorite DJ cans are the Allen & Heath Xone 53s. Amazing headphones. My other top picks are the HD 25-1 II, and the Ultrasone Pro 750.

I wouldn't say I'm a legit musician, but I dabble... do a little writing, the occasional open mic on the college campus where I work, jam with students, etc.

I bought most of my musical equipment  years ago when I was teaching myself various musical instruments and taking theory. What's marked out I lost in an apartment fire 9 months ago and I need to replace.

As far as splitting my budget between musical consumption and creation, I feel like the (relatively) little I've spent on High-Fi and Head-Fi equipment is plenty to satisfy me until I can start bringing in more money. Until then, I'm going to concentrate on rebuilding my audio creation equipment and expanding my musical creation habit... I guess that's a long way of saying Head-fi is on hiatus and my musician's itch is going full blast.

Thanks for the post!
 
Well, I just completely ended the audiophile equipment search. Though I did score a nice Marshall AVT20 amplifier for almost pocket change. Beautiful bang for the buck sound if you can find one. I'm just trying to expand my music now too.
