A small intro... (1 Viewer)

Hello everyone.
I have been perusing this site for quite some time now and I'm in awe of the vast knowledge that is yet to be gained. Unfortunately, I am quite a newbie when it comes down to HT and I probably won't be setting up a "real" system for at least a year (probably more like 18 months). I am here to do some extensive research and hopefully learn what the heck you guys are talking about when you discuss ohms and other specs.
My current equipment was bought on a pretty tight budget w/ no knowledge. I simply bought what I liked at the time, and since coming to this site, my taste has significantly increased.
Equipment:
Sony 20" Wega TV #KV20FV12
Sony DVD HT in a box #DAV-S300
Sony PS2
Sony MDR-V6 Headphones (for the CPU - very nice for the price)
Sennheiser HD580 headphones (for HT listening)
Everything is connected w/ Monster cables. I have S video running from the PS2 and DVD to a switch and then the switch is run to the TV by S-video as well. My TV only has 1 S-video input. The PS2 is connected via optical to the DVD for sound.
I am currently in the market for a good headphone amp and I'm about 2 weeks from purchasing an MG Head OTL version.
I'm not sure whether to love you guys or hate you guys for the great info you've provided. Thanks for all of your useful information.
