Hey my name is Nick, I'm 14 and love to listen to music. I've always strived to get the best quality sound out of what I have available. Now I think I'm ready to take it to the next level. I'm ready to become a full fledged audiophile. Most kids in my school, walk around with their ipod touch's, listening to their crappy headphones, and their horrible 192kbps mp3 files. I can't stand listening to such poor quality garbage. I listen to my old zune 30gb, with my decent (but cheap) koss in-ear headphones, with my Wav looseless files, or if not at least FLAC's. So here is my setup, tell me what you think, im still improving.
My full Setup:
My Dad's old Bose 201 series III's:
My Dad's old Techincs Stack (only the amp and EQ, he got the entire stack when a furniture store colsed down. he got the entire setup including a shelf for $275):
My home built gaming pc (with Creative X-fi xtremegamer Fata1ity and Creative soundblaster audigy2 zs. if you want anymore specs on the pc just ask.):
My Dad's Bose Quiet Comfort 2 Headphones that he'll usually let me borrow:
My zune and koss in-ear headphones (which i think sound better than the bose, even though they cost $255 less.):
So that's my setup. the reason i posted. is because i want YOUR help. i want to improve my system, but seeing as i spent all my lawn mowing money from the summer on my pc, i dont really have much money to spend.
Im willing to try DIY
Some things im looking for:
An external DAC
Some good quality cans, of my own
A new PMP seing as my zune just busted.
Maybe i might build some new speakers (who knows)
I thank you for any help in advance in case i forget to thank you later on.
