System edited: New DAC, thats all for a while as my funds have been wiped with the new addition.

I did move the speakers to stands, five inch bed risers on all corners with a tennis ball under the speaker to dampen the vibrations. Instant effect on the sound. No long is it muffled by the carpet and they are now at ear level which drastically improved the imaging and sound stage. Great recommendation, much appreciated Loose!

Thanks for the compliments first off! I have not tried Grado's though I wish I could. The 701's sound just about right to me, didn't really care for the hd 650's. I'll have to take another pick now as I moved apartments and have the system set up much differently now. I'm trying to find a dac that matches well with my existing components if anyone has any suggestions... been looking at MHDT, MSB, Audio GD

thanks again,

colin

First, that little workstation looks wicked. Have you tried Grado headphones with your system? I'd bet a nice pair of 325i's would sound great (they sound very different than the 701's... much different aural perspective.

Do you have those speakers on the floor? Have you tried them on stands?
