Please read before voting!
What's your status on your Head-Fi journey? Are you happy with your rig (pfft
)? Do you have a favorite manufacturer (house sound)? Do you plan on buying more headphones? Whole new rigs? I've capitalized key words for easier scanning.
This poll should go hand-in-hand with the "How empty is your wallet?" poll. Please choose all options that apply! I'm trying to make it as comprehensive as possible, but please don't get too literal with the choices; just make it work and use common sense to simplify your answers.
For instance, if you vote "satisfied with your equipment," don't vote for "I shall add one more CAN, at most" just because 0 is less than 1.
"Adding" doesn't mean replacing; it means you're increasing the number of thingamajiggers you've got!
On the "planning" choices, exclude chance events like the release of limited edition stuff.
If you choose "I'm set on amps/sources ..", you're saying that you're not ACTIVELY looking for new stuff.
If you choose "Nothing is certain with my equipment!", you're saying that you're at least a bit impulsive; you're not admitting the uncertainty of the universe. Get what I'm saying?
If you're stuck between two choices, flip a coin and pick one.
Please don't include speaker-dedicated or car rigs in your totals.
If you find yourself plugging a pair of headphones into it fairly often, then it's a rig. You don't need to count every single amp circuit in your house; only the ones you ACTUALLY LISTEN TO, ENJOY, and PLAN ON KEEPING FOR AT LEAST A GOOD WHILE. Just use your judgment.
FYI, the first four choices should add up to 100% and the next three should add up to 100%. So should the two "manufacturer" options.
[edit]Hmm, someone voted for both of the last two choices. I meant for those to pretty much be opposites. My interpretation of it is that if "nothing is certain" about your equipment, then you're not "done for a long time."[/edit]
For me personally:
My two rigs (computer-based for both listening and gaming, and portable) are complete. The Corda Aria does it for me, for at least half a decade, maybe more. It sounds great to me, and was about 150% of my original budget.
The 1gb Shuffle is the ultimate DAP for me, as I'm big on simplicity. My favorite manufacturer is AKG. For now, I'm pretty much done. Might do a little bit of dabbling around with different cans--especially on the lower-budget end--but overall I'm very happy with my stuff!
