Well I did a little upgrading to my rig since the last time I posted on here. New upgrades are a Schiit Valhalla Amp and Cambridge Audio DAC.
 
Overview of rig:

 
Marantz CD5005, Marantz PM5004, and my new Schiit Valhalla!

Nice system.  I like the look of your APC conditioner.  Though I only say that because mine (a couple pages back) is actually kind of embarasingly ugly.  I just wish APC would state what H-type, J-type and G-type actually meant somewhere.

Thanks! I personally don't use APC that much...I like Panamax and mostly for what you said, APC is generally pretty ugly. But then I saw that conditioner on sale last week on vanns.com for $105 and had to jump on it. It looks very different from their normal oval shaped face design and gets the job done. Thanks again for the compliment.

MMM... I like the way the NFB-10SE sounds like it performs.  I just got the NFB-5 but balanced sounds interesting.

Just got my order confirmation from Audio-gd. Should be here in a few weeks. I'm excited. I really wish I had some balanced cables to fiddle with for my 598 (or my upcoming LCD 2)...but if I end up with the Phonitor as planned it will be a moot point. 
 
EDIT: Reading the manual attached to my confirmation makes me confident this was a good purchase.
 
"We also burn in all products for more than 100 hours and check several times before shipping, to make sure that the products have a good quality control."
 
"Second and third year repair guarantee (after the first full 12 months):
[size=12.000000pt]If the product has any problems (manufacturing defects and defects which are not caused by the user), the customers only pay for both ways (to and from Audio-gd) shipping costs. Audio-gd will repair the product for free, which includes parts and labor charges."[/size]
 
[size=12.000000pt]Why hadn't I bought one of their products before? Burn in: Done.[/size]

Here's a couple shots of my new setup - still moving in a bit.
 

 
Below you'll find my amps/dacs
 

 
And here are my beloved 'sones! 900s to the left, 750s to the right.
 

 
And my "main system" - a sharp eye may catch the HD-25 ii's.
 

 
And that's about it - it works, I'm just a student, so my budget is still lower for now. Anyways it sounds great to me!

Pro 750 and Pro 900. Good choices there. And the HD 25-1 II? Excellent collection so far.

Jealous of that MacBook. I ended up with a 27" iMac instead of a MacBook Pro and I'm kind of glad I did, but I still get jealous that I don't have one. lol

I went for the iMac because the screen was gorgeous and my 42" was too big for my bedroom in the new place. 27" replaced my bedroom TV and my tower. 
 
It saved me a ton of space, and I went overboard upgrading it and installing legit Win 7 for my games. It was a great investment, and I think I'll be happy with a netbook later this year for a smaller portable.
