I know I'm digging up a rather old picture here... but just wanted to say I don't think those speakers are half-bad, particularly given their small footprint and especially if complemented by a decent headphone rig.

Still need a Dac. Looking for a Proton or might use the Eastern Electric DAC when it gets here instead of at home.

This is my lowly office space which I share; actually I shouldn't say that...it's cozy for corporate : D

A few quick sloppy shots of the system. Not enough lighting in the room, so they didn't turn out too well:

Placing the k702s on top of the Raptor's psu is a great way to burn them in

Hey, if you like your $180 headphones....

Until recently I was using probably $1,500+ of equipment behind my K701, which is $250 new.

What's wrong with that? I power my GS-1000i with $2750 amp

Your headphones will, in most situations, be the least expensive part of your rig. True with speakers too.

 

[fenixdown110]

If your amp costs less than your headphones, it's probably not enough to drive them properly.

Even though i have never really had a "High impedance" headphone to back up my next statement I think I am still right (especially when it come to lower end equipment). ex. (BTW these are not lower end examples) EF-5 and the Elekit (which is what he is using) powers HE-5, compass powers HD600 and 650, a NuForce Icon Mobile ($100) can even power lower impedance headphones like HFI 780 ($200 ish) and even my Pro 900 ($400 ish) pretty well. IMHO 1st most important thing is the headphone 2nd DAC (If high impedance a dac and amp are equally important) 3rd Amp.

In conclusion I think your DAC and AMP together should only cost double the amount you paid for your headphone at most (Until you really start spending loads of money then the game changes a little).

I agree with you I am powering jh-13's with amps/dacs that cause many times their pricetag

That in my opinion is HIGH END which is a different story

IEM = have no idea about but $1000 for an IEM seems high end too

Heh the jh-13's are most certainly high end they compete with pretty much every headphone on the market up to and including hd800's, o2's etc...


I feel like the headphones should be first priority and until you max them out should be the best component in a rig
