Congrats! I've been tempted by this and the SE more than a couple of times. Please report back on your impressions!

Thanks and I will. I guess I should also add to the thread:

Stax O2 mkI

Stax 717

I need to start selling some gear...

;D Thanks everyone for the tips in the HD800 thread about hiding/explaining boxes. I'll be putting them to use soon.
it won't work, i have already told your wife... send the stax to me........

Seriously, I think the VK-D5 + SRM-717 + SR-007 Mk.I is going to be a KILLER CD rig! ENJOY!!!

Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 135mm F/3.5 portrait lens. M42 mount, multicoaded (red markings.) The most desirable iteration, and I got it for about the going rate ($125). In spite of its ancient optical design and rather slow maximum aperture, the this is a muchly loved lens. It is prized for its razor sharpness even wide open, and sublime bokeh. That said, I'm am an IDIOT for impulse buying yet another manual focus 135mm prime. This makes ...four that I own, with one more that I want. There's a Russian made Tair 11A 135mm F/2.8 auction ending soon. It has a 22 blade aperture. That's more than even my behemoth Myer Optic Orestor 300mm F/4, which has a paltry 19 blades.

EDIT: I just bought the Tair:

Headroom Ultra DAC

I really liked the music listening to HeadRoom's balanced HD 800 and their Ultra stack. So this looks like a good purchase to me. If I needed a DAC, I'd call dibs on it. :D

oooh! I'm probably right behind you. I want detailed notes....

I would love to get the amp as well but I need to slow down and I don't need it. I bought the DAC so I would not lose out on the 15% off.
