I like to take it a step further and make my own dampening material. I start by collecting roadkill. About 12 squirrels, two skunks or one large raccoon will work well. Skin the roadkill and boil down the carcasses slowly for about 10 hours. remove any large particles, and strain the remaining liquid. Further reduce your dampening juice for another 2 - 3 hours at a low flame. Add one packet of Knox gelatin mix, then allow to cool overnight. Done. Slice your dampening gel as needed and apply to your favorite headphones. They'll sound so good that you'll want to listen all day, but they'll smell so bad that you won't.

Braggart. That sounds like one of my lines.

Coincidence, I happen to be wearing a Black bikini right now. Eye bleach is usually on isle 7.

That is exactly the same reason they kicked me out! So unfair!

Well as per Head-Case standards, I took it upon myself to more than double your budget, while totally disregarding your need for less. But really Justin, I owned a $20-ish pair of JBL buds some years back, and thought they performed well above price point.

I think these are pretty decent... https://www.amazon.com/JBL-J33a-BLK-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00EE4DAT6/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1476922688&sr=1-7&keywords=jbl+earbuds

Amplifier porn
The baddest boy on the block... I think they should rename the company to Boner Amps, instead of Boulder Amps. And just a mere $205,000 per pair.

If I were forced to pick a favorite band Dire Straits would be it. My favorite albums are Making Movies and Communique. IMO they never made a bad album. Love Mark's solo/duet stuff too. Have you heard Neck and Neck with Mark and Chet Atkins? Phenomenal, even if you don't care for Country music.

I always wanted to try a balanced phono stage. That looks quite nice. Will wait to hear your thoughts. Is a balanced tonearm cable easy enough to come by?

My newish system is an HD580, Torpedo amp and Pico DAC (most provided by Shelly), and I really love this system. It still shocks me at how good it sounds for what is a relatively low cost system. I have no plans to creep upward.

Oh, if only your neurosis were so easy to label.
