hmmm, the Abyss to Susvara peaks my interest. I wonder how the SC cables would sound on the Susvaras....

I actually don't like the combo that much. The Susvaras are smooth sounding and the SC is also smooth sounding. In my opinion, the combo of Susvaras with the SC cable is too much of a good thing.

More room up in the mountains I guess.

The ‘mountain’ system is in a loft…getaway within a getaway …

Seems like an appropriate place for lofty equipment, no?

Messy at the moment - have been charging my wireless cans (some stacked on top of the Tazzy lol)

I don't recall posting a pic of my setup after upgrading to a new desk, and I feel a little embarrassed as mine is a simple audio setup compared to some of you guys' which are some pretty sick audio setups I must say. In this pic, I had my modded Fostex T50RP + Alpha Pads, AKG K812 and Senn HD600 on rotation. I've just rotated them out and am using my HD6XX, ENIGMAcoustics Dharma D1000 and a Grado GS1000i, and a HE560 just for some Planar Mag creds.

But, where is your monitor screen?

For the new year, a little advice for some of you... Last days, I was thinking where I was and where I am regarding to this hobby, of course:

Last year (a difficult year...), I had the Senn HD 555 for multipurpose uses (Youtube, games and very little to listen to music) and the HD 800 that I barely used because I disturb my family at nights. I had had bad experiencies with closed back headphones in the past (Beyer MMX 300 and Senn PC 360) and I thought that all closed back would sound bad. Then, I bought the DT 150 to try another closed back and I liked very much them, but they lacked something...

Now, I have swapped the HD 555 for the DT 1990 Pros (my initial purpose when I entered in this forum ) and also have two very different closed cans that I love for different purposes.

Why this advice? Because in this forum there are a lot of temptations (new headphones, DACs or AMPS, cables...) and if you realize where you are and compare that to your past in this hobby, maybe you are good where you are now and don't need to upgrade... And I have two headphones in my wishlist, but I have had a lot of them based on the praise for them in their respective threads...

Happy new year to everybody here

Sage advice... I'm glad you left "tubes" off your list above. I felt guilty reading this just after placing a large Langrex order this morning.

Happy New Year!!

But if you didn't buy them now, the price would go up and you'd feel even more guilty in the future. Regretting it forward, kind of.

I agree. That is exactly what he said

Unfortunately, this personal audio hobby of ours is an evolving pursuit just as we are an evolving species. Desire morphs into need. Contentment is not our lot in personal audio.
