It's easier for regular folks like me to resist temptation when so many of the new products introduced lately are firmly in the summit-fi category. $4k and up? No worries! Never gonna happen!
Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

Luckily, to have a good or very good sound, one doesn't need to spend a lot of money.
Yesterday the HD650, tonight the Clear OG.

Nice, i know the Clear. Had it for some time but replaced it with the Denon.
Some weeks ago, was visiting one of the stores and listened to the HIFIMAN HE1000 stealth, Audivina, open Sennheizer in comparison to mine Denon. Have a picture but not allowed to place anything yet.
The amp was the Feliks Elise.
Anyway, it was a very pleasant experience. Was bit afraid, that the tubes will sound thick, but nothing like that happend.
I am now into the tube amps and partly, it is this forum influence.
I have seen some of the tube treasures on this forum, looked some of them up, but bit too far away and to expensive.
So looked closer and found one small producer in Poland. WBAmplification or WBA.
I made mine mind up already, but cause of some circumstances, the only thing i can buy now, are the Hifiman headphones.

I would want to hear the AH-D9200.
I see in your signature you own the Pylon Diamond 25. I also own them. What do you think of them? I believe they are a lot of speakers for the money.

I think so too.
More so, i was planning to buy the Gato FM30, but seriously doubt, that they going to be so much better than te Pylon. So for now, they stay. Since they come on the pallet of 70 kg, i decide to skip the speakers change for now. That is how good they are for me.
Listened to some more speakers like Sonus Faber , MA, Dynaudio and my jaw did not droped on the floor. So a bit disappointing.
The Denon is a very good headphone. I think there is a thread about them here on Head-Fi.
I compared them with the Clear and as a result the classical music opened up, gain some air, became more alive. The reason i am trying to sell them now, is the fact that i want something new and more comfortabel. The wider sound stage is a extra plus.
But i will never say a bad word about them.

The wall outlet is a Radio Shack surge suppressor. The power cords were purchased via Ebay.

Just a point of interest: "audiophile" and "$23.48" = oxymoron.The wall outlet is a Radio Shack surge suppressor. The power cords were purchased via Ebay.
Seriously, those look pretty cool. What do you think of them?
