i tried this last year and had a good response. the basic question is what headphones do you plan on buying this coming year? if you want to throw in a source or an amp feel free. it would be interesting to dig up last years thread and see what people said, and really turned out doing. i know i way overdid what i said i was going to do. i did get the audio technica's. but i went way beyond that with some stax 404's and just recently a new rega planet cd player, oh and i almost forgot the kevin gilmore solid state amp. i guess i way out did it........

Well I've only been here for a few months and I've already spent over a couple thousand... so it look's like i'm prob going to try to get that "final" system and stop there ( he90, he60 , omega II , r10 , l3000 , ... maybe one of those). I really must say it's scarry when you realize how much money you spend. I find my self saying ONLY 100 dollars or it's ONLY 500 dollars to friends and they look at me like i'm smoking something. At lest I'm happy

1. Probably an amp for my RS-1. Will probably be Emmeline XP7 or RA-1.
2. Sell my 963SA and buy a new source....(maybe) I really like the 963SA but I hate the noise...
3. Maybe new speakers too. Like B&W 705, 805 or Dynaudio Audience 52 Special Edition.

well, audio-wise:
I'd like to get a Gallien Krueger 800RB for my bass rig, to quasi-complete my new amp. (2x Bag End S15X-D and the GK 800RB).

I'd like to get a Headsave MINT, Porta Corda, Headsave Tempo or Xin Supermicro.

I think I'll end up getting the MINT based on the price, I hope it's a good match with my trackmasters. I guess I'll wait to decide on that, until I get my trackmasters and see how my karma drivers them and how they sound with it.

Man, I've only been here a year and my system has changed over dramatically, I could never have predicted this.. heh. A year ago, I was using HD-580s (and during the last week of the year, I got my HD-600s) into a Headroom Cosmic that I got also in the last week (upgrading from the Headroom Little)..

But now?.. The only forseeable upgrade I can see is that I hear a pair of Omega II and overhaul my system for that. But from what I hear about R10's price/performance and though I love the HE90, I'll never be able to afford them

good choice on the AKG 271S, I'm very happy with mine

now that I have them I definately have the upgradeitis bug though and will be getting a new home source and amp and interconnects and possibly a custom cable for the cans in 2004

But um... the $ is gone in 2003. Just have to await it's arrival in 2004. So I don't know if that technically counts as a 2004 buy.
