I'll just get this amp, then it makes your music sound crap, so you buy new music. That sounds crap on your headphones, so you get new ones. Then they need an amp, and so on, until you get Orpheus.

There's a big moment that occurs when it's 1999 and you're getting your underwear pulled over your head in the 8th grade, but as you're getting shoved into a locker you're smirking because you think you're king of the world with your Radio Shack Koss headphones that nobody gives a damn about.  Then after you start college and finally get an internship and realize what it's like to get a non-minimum wage paycheck and you're able to feed yourself without having to work 3 jobs, you discover a website with high-end headphones and save up and order a pair you see mentioned on the site....then you're hooked.  
 
Then you graduate and work a full-time job for 5 years saving every dime you get and you realize you're STILL working toward your dream 'phones/amp/equipment...

...when you buy something and you're looking to upgrade it before it arrives at your door.

You think about how well it scales before you buy it, for an excuse to buy more amps.

Hell, you can't get anything with that! That'll only pay for the tubes of the headphone amp.

Was this from a book purchased by your school/Drivers Ed program? 
 
I'm surprised this book that probably thousands of students have to read (and are supposed to take seriously) says "by" instead of "buy" and spells "decent wrong"  and probably even more errors that I'm too tired to noticed.  I'm even more surprised that I'm the first one in this thread to point it out :3
 
 
Also, YKYAA when you discover a new band (Cage The Elephant) and you love their first album but hate their second (Melophobia) Because it's mastered so insanely loudly and you haven't even finished a whole song because it sounds so bad. It also makes me feel pretty schiity about buying a $450 amp and still having your badly mastered music sound terrible in contrast to stuff that's mastered correctly.
 
Anyone here know of "The White Stripes" or Jack White? He has this belief that using an audio engineer is "cheating" while I don't exactly agree with him it does make all of his/their music sound really good. \off topic-ish I should be asleep rant
