You mean your $500 headphones aren't running into a $10,000 Tube Amp that is connected to a $20,000 turntable with a $5000 cartridge?!?!! HOW DARE YOU!

ASDFALJHGA! I'm also only using these shoddy $1,000 cables! Not even worth it when I should be using $5,000 cables! NOOOOOOO!

Shame on you!

I can't believe you aren't using 99.9% silver cables...

Trust me, audiophiles are actually somewhat scum cause they would take their $50,000 set-up over anything else. Like seriously your ears can't be in THAT tune to hear the difference between 1Hz and 2Hz

I thought copper was the better of them? Seriously I guess I'm not an audiophile :(

Haha it's great though, like seriously cables ain't going to make a difference - well maybe but that's just being picky and annoying.

Oh I forgot to mention mine are 0.001% oxygen :p

Yeah, I started off as Aerospace engineering, there are plenty of times I wish I had stuck with it.

Ah well.

yeap... mine was Manufacturing Engineering, most of what we do are Automation and Robotics. It was awesome except for the programming part... it was worst than all those letter math like Calculus and Strength of materials :lol:

I just remember seeing a lot of people making their own silver cables.

Yes, I agree.

But you can get a great pair of headphones for $100-200. Anything above that and it's all diminishing returns. I picked up my HD555's for $75, I'm happy with them (Except in certain situations where having open eared cans is annoying)

SQ can only get good up until a certain point. I find that when I listen to anything else with less quality than my W3s I can't stand it which is why I also don't want to move up cause then I won't be able to stand the W3s. But if you're spending $300 on beats you're doing something wrong. I mean Justin Beiber wears beats... but he uses JH Audio headphones for touring - he obviously does not like beats, he's probably endorsed to wear them cause if he knew quality in headphones he would only be using his JH audio headphones.
