Me browsing head-fi forums: this $2000 amp is way better than my other $2000 amp for my favorite and only headphones, the HD6XX

Ain’t nothin wrong with getting a good dac/amp and going through the headphones progression. At least one variable will be fixed.

Something is wrong w/ this mindset. I see it akin to those who buy gym clothes before being "worthy" to spend the money, and same with vehicle modifications.

The time and money are better put elsewhere first: on the thing that actually gives you performance (yourself with working out, the vehicle for modifications, and the headphone in this case.)

You guys do you though. If everyone was like me the world's economy would've tanked decades ago lol

You overthink it a bit, pal. Relax and don’t make assumptions on a single sentence. Happy listening.

I'll always be overthinking; it's why I get paid :')

Welll. In that case. How about overthinking that thought in another direction. What if that is like buying super specialized gym gear when you only started lifting. It won’t help you get stronger it might actually prevent you from building your technique. Your technique is your audio source and headphones are your specialized gear. Just another/ alternative way to take this thought.

When it comes to vehicle mods, i would do brakes, suspension etc before increasing "performance" tbh
