I am having some difficulty to decide what to buy/when to buy. Perhaps some wisdom talk will help me to overcome my impatience; or perhaps conversely help me to spend money easily - you know the dilemma!
Currently I have relatively limited budget - around $1-$1.2k & I have already decided to build a system around my HD650.
I tried grado's, beyer's, akg's, sony's but for my taste I really like the warm, liquid but fuller sound coming from the HD650. It is not doing anything extreme but I enjoy listening to music with them.
First, let me tell you my dream system(s) (edit: dream = ideal) :
System A:
Cec TL51X
Electrocompaniet ECD-1
Rudistor NX-33
Balanced equinox cable > HD650
System B:
Northstar M 192 Transport & Dac (IS2 connection, almost jitter free, but no balanced outs hence the rudistor)
Rudistor NX-33
Balanced equinox cable > HD650
I believe system B will be more smooth and liquid than system A. Can you think of any other differences between them? I really appreciate the comments from the owners of these parts.
Now, here I need your wisdow talk - should I buy my dream pieces step by step in the next 4 to 6 months period OR with my current budget should I get let's say a grace m902, opera, or lavry and be happy with it until I have more $$ to invest (my current source is Philips DVP642 which I bought for $50)?
Thanks in advance,
