So I am at college and need to start paying for music now, so I figured that I should probably get a sound system worthy of playing my music. I can't spend more than $1000 on everything and don't 'want' to spend more than $500. I plan on buying most things on ebay and on craigslist. I don't have transportation so I can't really cruise the garage sales or test equipment at audio shops. I just need some proper equipment that I won't be sorry with and will work well for the money I have. So far from the research I've done I've come up with this.

Hello everyone!

I'm so excited about this journey I've decided to undertake. I love music. Absolutely love it. It moves me to my very core, and I simply can't get enough of it. Unfortunately, I can only listen to it four ways right now, all of which suck:

1) Via my car stereo (a stock Bose system in my 2004 Mazda 6 wagon)

2) Via my PC with a SoundBlaster X-Fi Platinum wich plays my song library on iTunes through my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system

3) Via the same computer (above) through a pair of Sennheiser HD 555's.

Anyone know where I might find the data for this foam:

Ethan?

Whats the general opinion of these products, they look to be good value and well made.

How do they sound ?

Has superb solid 29 pound chassis, but.......those magic feet things of course made it BETTER!!! Who would have thunk it? And of course THIS player sounded better than anything else....who woulda' thunk it I thought those previous units from other makers had that covered? The amazing monthly improvements is beyond imagination. To think though that for $10K, it needed MAGIC FEET, is this a stretch or what?
