        Omega makes some great speakers that mesh well with low wattage headphone amps. Nice setup there!

        What does a custom built PC for music only look like? Guessing like a fanless HTPC sort of thing?

        Maybe a bit much for a profile post, but: What did you use for the custom PC? Any special parts you chose only because you wanted to use it for audio?

        I sold the LIM, I like the Gungnir more with the EC studio b, its music compared to instruments and blackness. Its like the LIM was more brain and the gungnir with this amp is more emotion.

    Have been an audiophile for 30 or so years, managed high end store and still work with a high end dealer. New to headphones, my situation now requires headphones. Recently reconnected with Marv and with his help have put together a good system and am working to improve it. Enjoying listening to music again. Have sold the Omega Super Alnico Monitors and bought the Raudio Chadwick speakers back from the person I sold them to. Have the Fostex R50 moddied for headphones with the Piety.
