>Budget
Around 100-150$, don't want to stretch too much.

Macbook pro
>Preferred type of headphone
full size
>Open or closed
I've heard open would give me more sound quality for the money. Other than that I don't care.
>Comfort level
Not important
>Preferred tonal balance
Don't really know but i'm aiming for neutral
>Preferred music
Classical, jazz, progressive rock, some ambient/electroacoustic
>Past headphones
Nothing interesting. A pair of 40$ akg's. They were nice for casual listening, but I'm aiming a bit higher this time.
I'm aiming for AKG - K612 Pro. Seems like the best value for the money, recommended a lot etc. Only problem is that it apparently sucks without an amp and I barely know what an amp is. I definitely don't want to spend extra money on it.
I might get them anyway, and maybe consider buying an amp in the future, but i don't know if i should bother if i could get the same quality with cheaper earphones and no amp.
I have an Audio Technica store near me if that helps.

i am in way over my head on a project right now.
i watched a linus tech tips video and took on a project in an area i'm unfamiliar with and bought a server mobo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epIlB49SNTI
before anyone flames me i have a gaming rig and a laptop already this is just a project to see if i can make this and see its performance. and see if i can get windows 7 running on it.
its a dual 1133 socket supermicro board.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SuperMicro-Dual-Socket-LGA1366-Motherboard-X8DTT-F-SG007-Rev-2-/361450812379?
now i fucked up and bought the wrong cpus for it at first but its time to fix that.
so my cpus have to be arc architecture cpus. would there be anything wrong with these cpus for that board?
http://www.amazon.com/2-8GHz-Intel-Socket-LGA1366-SLBF4/dp/B003EI1ZG8/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451249084&sr=1-3&keywords=X5680
or should use these. they cost a bit more but give a little more performance. worth the extra 20 a core?
http://www.amazon.com/SLBVA-Intel-Processor-X5667-Cache/dp/B0072OP2JQ/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1451249576&sr=1-8&keywords=xeon+lga1366
and someone told me supermicro takes a certain type of ram but my google foo fails me.
You were told last time, don't fucking bother. You've already wasted enough money, instead of wasting any more just save up for a single CPU configuration that will give you the performance you need.
>>52088351
its my money i already have a couple of rigs. thought people might understand better and not be so pessimistic if i made it known this is just a project. as far as wasting money im only goig to be in this a couple of hundred dollars.
this board seems pretty anti fun on this. im not saying ill even succeed but you have to have knowledge and research to do this. i went in too hot and spent money on parts that dont work. i am only trying to find parts that will and continue on a personal project for fun and everyone screams HURR DURR BETTER WAYS TO DO IT. i have computers this is for fun and to see what i can make on the cheap. just too see if i CAN do it.
>TL;DR i have rigs this is for fun get off muh nuts.
>>52088351
oh and i was also told supermicros cant be turned into pcs and i found people on forums with this same mobo running windows 7 and operating as a desktop without issue. i may not know what i need to know to do this but thats why im here and on forums looking for info.
Found Snorlax Sort on Reddit, never head of it before, apparently 0(1) complexity for unlimited inputs. I don't know much about coding, but can someone explain how this works? Search Snorlax Sort on GitHub
So I read the read me and it sounds like that to get this O(1) there is a downside where it doesn't work 100% of the time. So couldn't you just run it several times? O(1) beats everything we have right now (as far as I understand) so even with this drawback it sounds like it would be really good?
this is a joke right?public int[] sort(int[] snorlax) {
return snorlax;
}
>>52087433
I don't know Java but doesn't that just return the input ?

That's pretty cool.
So you just cut off part of the back of the spider and fix the design you want on it for a few weeks until it heals with the wanted design? Something like cube/bottle-cats?

No?

Download games on it like candy crush, sims and angry birds. When the person who gave it to you (your parents?) asks you about it, say you have so much fun playing games on it.
