Interests

Headphone fetishism is a pathology, not a hobby.
The word *restraint* is engraved on the luminescent peach-colored zipper of my stuffed alligator checkbook.

Headphone Inventory

I actually do use the headphones that molder on my premises, thanks. There are no extras in the inventory room of the speakereasy the author of this form seems to feel I own.

Grado RS-1 and HF-1, Alessandro MS-2; Sennheiser HD-600, HD-580, Amperior; Etymotic ER-4S, HF-2; Shure e4i; Beyerdynamic DT-831; UE TripleFi 10, UE700, Sony V6; V-Moda M-80, M-100; ATH- EM7, Brainwavez R1.

Headphone Amp Inventory

RS Hornet and XP-7 (with power supply); MAD Ear++; Fiio E10. The rest have been sold (though I still might have an old PIMETA by Eric343; Tangent's tiny version with battery was a decade ahead of its time).

Source Inventory

Currently awaiting the best iteration of the Ultrabook.

Cable Inventory

Several ALO docks -- RCA, miniplug, cloth, silver, copper, etc. -- and a few Zu pivots.

Power-Related Components

Part of me wants to impose my OCD vision of order on the world. Another part wishes to flee the world entirely. Still another would prefer to delegate all responsibility for it to you. The rest of me would like us all to join skulls and mosh our way to a better lobotomized dictatorship.

Other Audio Equipment

Hoary NS-10Ms and Tannoys from more active studio days; logic audio, performer, MOTU card and interfaces; racks of modules, synths and effects; Arcam A-85 and P-85; decapitated pooch speakers.
