So today was another like any other, except this week was a little bit different. This was a good week! Dell 2007wfp SIPS monitor, Ray's Tomahawk, and my babies (DR150's) recabled by warrior05 all came in on Monday. Sadly, this was a bit of a busy week so I didn't get much time to listen to my new portable setup. But last night I finally got some time to listen to a bit and was just amazed at how much of a difference an amp / line out / recabled phones sound. Needless to say I was quite pleased with my decisions on getting what I got.
But was that enough? No of course not... Before going to bed I added some pink noise onto the Ipod and let it go overnight. So given about 8 hours of "burn-in", mind you. I get to work, get my some work, put on my head phones and start working not really paying attention to the music. Then all of a sudden it hits me like [size=large]BAM[/size]. It was so beautiful, everything was perfect. Everything was so much fuller, lively, I just cannot explain it. I stopped everything I was doing and was just stunned. I sat there for a moment in a state in which I think might be as "pure bliss", as a tear suddenly came out. This kind of shocked me as I normally don't cry that often, even in normal circumstances.
Now as my work shift is ending, and I'm sitting here enjoying my music to it's fullist. I'm wondering to myself.... Is there really more out there for me? I want to get into IEM's but I'm afraid that they won't be able to give me the sound that I'm getting with my Docs
Should I venture deeper into the rabbit hole? I'm scared and my wallet is scared!
Now, first I want to apologize as this dosent really have anything to do with headphones (sorta), but this is mainly where I browse and do my reading.
Now to my thanks for helping me achieve this moment of ecstasy in no particular order:
-swt61 for being one of the first pioneers and convincing me to get these phones when I was looking for my first pair.
-warrior05 for recabling my headphones and dealing with my stupidity!
-Ray Samuels for making my Tomahawk as awesome as it is.
-Turbo for getting me my Turbodock out during the holidays as fast as he did.
and of course.... EVERYONE AT HEAD-Fi for all your useful and non-useful information that has gone through this forum.
