Ok... first things first , Grats to Matt for the life changing event. and also like to say that Madison is a beautiful name for the little one.l have also been TRYING to stay away from HF ( and the "upgradeitis" it brings and save some cash for some potential Angies, though l still need to buy that video card that l've been meaning to buy since the meet,but again since l am a miser as well as a procrastinator l am pretty much doomed  :p. hahaha.

which video card you planning to get? I'm a nerd when it comes to pc's lol. Mine is fully custom meaning every single wire inside was modded my case was custom modded, my motherboard is even repainted. Obviously fully watercooled.

l was thinking of getting a gigabyte gtx 970(have an evga 570gtx atm), l have not done as much extensive modding as you have (if my imagination goes not fail me :p) everything is "stock" on this pc ( cept replaced the cpu fan/heatsink -> an Antec hydrokuler one )but future-proofed when l bought the parts and built it about 3-4 years ago.

  By the way, listening to a PHA 3 driving the Z7, sounds really good!

I'm also an Ottawa member.... Barrhaven to be exact.  My "hi fi" gear consists of just my Fiio X5 and Sennheiser over ear Momemtums that I us mostly at work.
 
As the father of a 2 year old, any extra money I get is going towards other things other than gear, lol.
 
At home I have decent speakers and a Denon Receiver on my network that I play music from, but rarely get the chance to crank it. (see previous comment on 2 year old).
 
Are there many Ottawa folks on here?

Probably everybody subscribed to this thread is from Ottawa and adjacent areas.
 
I play my music through my Zu Essence speakers -- and I do crank it up.  My kids are all grown up and have their own families so no problems with loud music here.

So funny, I did the same thing and went on a Sony binge picking up a PHA 3, a Z7 and a MDR 1A. I've since sold the Z7 and PHA 3, but picked up a TH 900 (very nice headphone).
