I figured I might let you guys know about this project. I'm an art school student currently, and we had an assignment to do an abstract portrait of some aspect of some group, and I choose to do audiophiles who love headphones.
For this I read a lot, and I do mean A LOT, of threads on here (and boy are there some interesting threads... "deserve to die in a pit full of angry bees" has to be my current favorite quotes from a thread).
Anyways, here is the fruit of my labor:
I could get into the details and symbolism and if you want, but in essence it's a little fetish whose "heart" can be switched out for either a vacuum tube or IC, the head turns around and then the hair comes off so you can flip that around to allowing for the two different faces (I like to call them Mr. Senn and Mr. Grado), and then there is a small set of headphones or the golden ears (closed cans with the calm face for isolation, with the excited face for all you bassheads).
All can be put together in combinations depending on what your taste is . I'm sure you guys can pick out what each set represents on a basic level (lord knows my class couldn't tell the difference between what the closed cans and the K1000 styled phones were, but that's OK)
If you want one or anything like it I can make them for not that much money and am open to requests; I almost did little models of the top headphones, in case anyone likes those (I'm a poor starving artist so I kind of have to make this last little plug
).
Please tell me what you all think!
PS I'm a proud owner of the Grado 325i
. I love them and boy do they rock, though I probably will get some AD900s since they better fit my needs for classical and jazz listening sessions, but that is another matter.
