Oh, I love the tear down and restructure, trying to find that perfect angle to optimize sound quality and clarity. I just do not want to bother the parents, free ride while still in college is nice, but will end soon.

My path once I move out will go something like this.
Within 6 months of moving into own place:
~2 floor standing
~Center
~Sub

One year after new place:
~2 rear speakers (either move original 2 floor standing or buy dedicated rears)
~Upgrade television - Hoping for OLED to finally go big and being a bit of time pass so I am not dropping 5k on a 40" television

Not a bad plan.. mine basically consists of find a job that is a career, establish what my pay will be, then make my move and order my Z. In the mean time all my pay is my down payment on my Z so yay for what will be next to nothing monthly payment

I upgraded mine because I knew I'd never be in the position to get items at cost or below. I also figure i'll never make enough to justify spending over $xxK just on speakers so if I wanted $xxK worth of speaker then I better do it now.

theDreamer · 11-22-2009, 06:23 PM

I tell myself that, but I hold back on the speakers. Everything else I listed is either top or near top when I bought it, expandable for the future (up to 5 years).

Anybody expecting audio gifts for Christmas? I just bought some nice MIT cables for 50 bucks.

theDreamer · 12-22-2009, 05:24 PM

Not audio directly, but I have a TV Tuner card. Should go nicely with my DVR, will be glad to offload some shows onto it instead of taking up space on my DVR. Planning on either doing all my unknown shows that I rarely watch and like to just watch a bunch at once or my favorite shows so I can archive the episodes.
I am thinking option one as I am not a huge fan of re-watching TV episodes.

bigaudiofanat · 12-22-2009, 05:56 PM

Nice are you using like a 1 tb hard drive for storage?

Me I sort of spoiled myself this year.
40 inch tv
pioneer elite receiver
blu ray player
MIT speaker wires

All I need is a apple tv

theDreamer · 12-22-2009, 07:08 PM

I have a server (running WHS) which I do all my back up and movie/TV storage. Currently have 4x1TB and 3x1.5TB, will finish off the last 1.5TB after the new year and move onto 2TB drives. My server case has 20 HD slots so I am only 2/5 of the way full; plenty of space for expansion.

bigaudiofanat · 12-22-2009, 07:23 PM

LOL you better have a massive power supply and some big fans.

theDreamer · 12-22-2009, 07:26 PM

Server setup is basically running the same hardware as my HTPC, does not need a lot of power, its main focus is network streaming. I play movies from the server to my HTPC or desktop.
PSU is a 1k Corsair unit, a bit over the top but bought it for the long run when I have full 20 hard drives (21 with the OS). I also dropped extra money on the quietest 80mm fans so you never know the server is running basically.
