Only 1,800,000 Yen plus freight. I definitely need to up my income before that's anywhere near feasible lol

Heeey, you're in Japan? にほん?

Nah, but I have not seen a retailer carry them over here. Also, my Japanese is atrocious.

I am also happy with my current setup, but I aspire to greater things :P

The only retailers that sell the system I want are located in Japan The second part was for Mr. Hall :)

I guess these can go here, my DAP, Headphones and Amp:

Cowon iAudio 7 16GB
JVC HA-FX66s w/Shure Foam Olive Tips
Joshatdot CMoy Amp of my own design

The key is to start with quality components, here in the states we have Craig's List and I highly suggest doing some research and build a great used system first. Go stereo at first. Get some great mains and then look for a powered sub to fill out the bottom end. I like Paradigm speakers but you can go all sorts of directions with styles and cost. A good receiver will get up up and playing music then later you can search for separate components. I like running my audio out from the computer via optical into a good DAC and then into the preamp/receiver I get the clearest and most accurate sound this way. Remember these stereo speakers will image and create a sound stage that will blow your mind when set up properly, so take you time and experiment with speaker placement and such. As this addiction for audio grows you can use this system as a great bedroom or other room system as your education and interest grows. Grab a Stereophile or Absolute Sound magazine and have fun don't be too intimidated by the components as your shopping for older units off CL and they will luck will be cents on the dollar ! Stay away from the system in a box stuff. Have a blast and listen deep !
