Thats not an esp 950, its an A250 form the late 1990 time frame.  I'd like to try a 950 some day.

It's too bad those A250s (and there was another similar family member if I remember correctly) were discontinued and became impossible to find. I remember reading your threads about them years ago and always wanted to try them. They looked like the struck a good balance of things I wanted for a great price.

My college dorm setup. Very pleased with the headphones.

 
What did you use for the inside of the headband?

My humble setup, hope you guys like it.
 

 
You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking. You have well over 3 thousands dollars worth of headphones on these shelves. And that's not even counting the amplifiers and DACs.
 
If you're not joking, then you have the most remarkable way of rationalizing your spending.

Where did you get the $3k  + figure from? From what I can see:
 
K550 - $150-220
D5k - $450-550
D7k - $650-800
HD650 - $350-400

I used MSRP prices, and his profile:

Grado RS2 w/ Button	500$
Grado Black SR325 - p!nk drivers	300$
Denon D5000	700$
Denon D7000	1000$
FrankenGrado SR325	300$
Sennheiser HD650	500$
AKG K550	300$
AKG K450	75

 
Total 3675$ (+ taxes)
 
And from what I can see, that's a Beyerdynamics T1 box on the top shelf - another 1400$. With this, it's more like 5 k$.
 
Any way you look at it, it's far from an "humble" setup. The thing is, recently many people posted similar setups while referring to them as "humble". It seems as if anything short of a SR-009 setup is considered "humble", even if this includes owning a copy or two of everything short of a SR-009.

I agree..a humble setup is in my eyes under 750: an amp + headphones..but hey..we are on headfi.. There are other rules here.. My complete headphone  rig is probably considered also a poor mans choice ( as in humble) being just under 3000 euros  with cabling included.

Well my collection certainly starts to increase in value when I go by RRP. I thought he was being ironic.

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of HD650's How much I end up liking them will determine whether or not my trusty 580's will go up for sale.
