On the basis that you can never miss what you've never had I suspect that maybe I have reached the pinnacle of my headphone listening experience and I am currently experiencing zero thoughts about upgrading anything involved. I'm not saying that nothing better exists, it most probably does, but I have no wish to experiment further to find it. I listened last night to a few hours of music, never tired of anything and the last track was as enjoyable as the first, I was sorry to shut everything down and go to bed - most unusual for me . The source was bog standard CD rips to FLAC (using dbPowerAmp on default 5 setting) on a self built HT PC using a Xonar Essence sound card via an Amanero board with USB isolator (thanks Javier) through a custom built MF X-10 Chinese clone buffer amp to a HA10 headphone amp (both from Custom HiFi Cables) and on to a pair of 'Fransified' AKG K550 cans. Much of the advice and bits of kit involved were purchased on the advice of and under the guidance of the triumvirate heading up this forum so many thanks to all involved. I am not quite in the same position with my speaker listening but as that will depend to a large extent on WAF as much as SQ I don't expect to get there any time soon . Dave.

It is 'mission accomplished' then.
I DO hope this doesn't mean you won't be posting any more though. After all even when you are finished upgrading there is still a lot to talk about in this hobby.
PS I thought you were posting about physical problems....

Mission accomplished (for the time being ) only as far as headphone listening is concerned. I've bored you all enough with my many and various physical ailments, most of which seem beyond the reach of cure or mitigation so I'll not go any further on that subject (for the time being ). Dave.
