Would this be overkill for listening to Pink Floyd MP3 files encoded @ 64 kbit/s

Not sure if I could get by with something a little less expensive.

I like the vacuum tubes. I've always thought music sounded better when you have a heater going next to you. 64kbps mp3s aren't /too/ bad, but you should consider upgrading to opus when you get those nice phones.

someone let cheez know. he might move out of his tent to pick up these bad boys.

You're not fooling anyone asking about Pink Floyd. The answer is yes, those will be okay for grooving to your Bieber collection.

ROFL!!!! You don't sink to Mopar level very often? But you're so good at it, wielding the ignore list like it's a punishment? Seriously?

lol was he the one who bought like 1200$ audio cables years and years ago?

Be careful when you do this. Order it before scrolling down, otherwise the price skyrockets.

But ultimately, yes, you do need these even to listen to crap encoded MP3s. Why? The economy. If you have $60k just sitting around doing nothing, you need to stimulate the economy with that $60k so that people with real taste can be employed and keep the economy going.

I rarely see the OP these days. And now he's buying fancy tube amplifiers.

I knew Sennheiser had some pricey options, but I stumbled across this after the emailed me about a sale on some of their headphones. Before seeing this, I thought headphones pretty well topped out around $3k (at least what I've seen on sites like Slickdeals and Head-Fi).

At that price those better be real tubes that are hand made by graybeard virgins.
