a new edition of the Idiot, by Dostoyevsky. a friend of mine, a professor where i go to school, applied one of my paper's from last year into a grant competition, without my knowledge!, and i won $2000, so i have some spare cash now :)

Wow nice. I liked reading Dostoyevsky when I had Philosophy in college ;). Also, the cigars and scotch that you have sounds good.

maybe you should have asked before you bought ;)

yeah but they looked good so. :) i think a good way to judge a classical album is by its cover. if the conductor looks smart on the cover its probably good music. also if it was in the 50s and 60s its good.

well, duh, it's Dvor?k ;) though i do rather like his cello concerto...

yeah I pretty much have no idea what kind of classical I like, so I'm listening to all of it. It'll probably take me a loooong time to hone down to my favorite composers. I pretty much know I like Beethoven and Tchaivosky, those are the only ones I've 100% on. :)

I'm dangerously close to calling Mottishaw @ nibs.com to finally snag the Bexley 2007 Owners Club LE.

I hate how expensive it is, but I screwed around and missed it for sale at $80 less. Now nobody really has it in stock, and these rarely come up for sale in the used market.

Sennheiser HD650 with Cardas. Damn that postjack cussing2cz3.gif

Personally not a huge fan of the Cardas/650 combo, I actually preferred the stock cable over the Cardas. But you should be able to get about $100 back for the cable and move on from there.

I didn't care for the 650 with the Cardas. I think it really benefitted from being paired with a Zu or Equinox, but the Cardas experiment was short lived. Take all the sterotypical negatives about the 650 and that's kind of what I found with the Cardas. I actually preferred the stock cable :(

edit:

Nate beat me too it, but yeah, what he said O0

Always an option. Other than meet settings I haven't heard any of the aftermarket Sennheiser cables. Who knows it might sound good on my HD580.

sell the cardas, get zach to make you an oracle. :)

Maybe if someone sent me a loaner and I liked what I heard :P

FWIW I liked the Cardas on 580/600s.

I was actually digging the HD650 the last time I heard them on my M^3, so it might be the HD580 that goes. On that modest setup the differences between the 580 & 650 weren't huge.

But I'm skeptical if I'd even be able to hear cable differences since the headphones will be used straight out of an E-MU0404 USB when I'm at the hospital.

While I really like how the E-MU0404 USB sounds, it's still making me hanker for a cheap balanced amp to get it to that next level.
