My absolute favorite headphones are my Sennheiser HD595s. They've been discontinued for several years, but you can find new old stock in the ~$150 range, which makes them just an incredible value.

Many 8 years ago I got into a headphones arms race with a coworker. I ended up with the HD595s, an Emu 0404 DAC, and a Little Dot mk III tube amp. All in, about $600. Then he spent $1200 on a pair of headphones, and I bowed out. I listened to his setup and could detect marginal improvements over mine, but not $2000 worth of improvements. There's a local maxima on the cost-value curve, and I think I absolutely hit it with my setup.

It's the same way I approach Scotch. Glenmorangie 10 year is about $40 depending on where you live and how popular it is. Are there better Scotches? Certainly. Are there better Scotches in the price range? Hell no. To hit the next local maxima you're going to be paying $200 a bottle, and beyond that the next maxima is around $400.

But back to the headphones: the HD595 has a fantastic dynamic range and they are by a wide margin the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. I can wear them for an entire 8 hour work day and not feel fatigue either from the physical discomfort of having something clamped to my head (they're incredibly lightweight and the padding is superb) nor aural discomfort (they're incredibly well balanced cans and have good response beyond the upper and lower limits of my hearing ability). The only two downsides: they're open headphones, so they "leak" - people around you will be able to hear, at a reduced volume, whatever you're listening to; and they're not the most structurally sound design. Mine has several deep cracks which have been caused by me throwing them in a backpack without a case, and one day there will be a split which will rend them in twain.

Oh and now playing: Dio - Dream Evil. 1987 pressing.

When I bought this batch of records, I was kind of pissed at the price - they were $15~$19 each. But now that I'm listening to them (6 years later) the quality is superb. These records are incredibly clean. Barely any dust pops, and no scratches.

Ronnie James Dio was a cool guy to meet at the Seville Diner on a Saturday night in East Brunswick, NJ in... 1993.. iirc.  Pull up to the diner after bowling at about midnite or so, there's a big fancy bus in the parking lot, and a table full of guiys in leather and big hair in the booth in the back/left area of the diner.  They were really cool, some in our group took pics, got autographs, etc.

These ear pads make SO much difference. I did the research though and these are supposed to be better than their successors, the M50x's.
And also found out they're probably the best $100 headphones out there. I got them new for 89 I think, the price is there to see.
But the comfort level these pads add, plus they almost completely eliminate sound bleed in both directions and I took out the foam pads so it makes the highs slightly higher.
That and these completely encompass the ear and open up to the whole driver when the stock ones did not and would quickly become uncomfortable.
I can wear these all day long.

(Found it)

I heard that RJD was an amazingly cool person. When he died I happened to have a rental car with Sirius and for days the metal station was playing interviews with people who were good friends with him down to people who just had chance encounters, and they all told the same story about what a great guy he was.

Yes, I also have Tinnitus. I was born with it, and then when I was 16 I was running the projectors at a church when the guy running the light board decided it would be hilarious to pipe feedback into my Telex headset, which caused me to hear nothing but a roar through my left ear for almost a week, and now I have 20% hearing loss in that ear. Fuck him.

Which is why I double up on earpro when I go shooting and always bring earplugs to concerts. My hearing is precious and I protect what I have left.

I bought my truck and got 1.4% APR. It would have been stoopid to not finance it.

Plus now I have 5 years of on-time payment history, which gave me a 744 FICA score which got me preapproved for way more than I want to spend on a house.

I can't even see my credit score. I think I'd need to go to the bank.

Credit Karma is bullshit.

I have been paying my cellphone bill for... 8 months.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to mostly pay off a 1,200 dollar car and then make small payments. Or larger ones to get it done.
