I got my Purity Audio Caliente today, and have been listening most of the day. For the first time since getting into this headphone hobby I have finally experienced the disappearance of the gear, that point at which there is nothing to hear but the music.
I was sitting on my couch, lights off, listening to Mozart's Requiem, just immersed in the sound. I started to doze off a bit, and then suddenly snapped back fully awake during a huge crescendo of choir and orchestra. Instantly I reached out for the volume knob to turn down the music before I woke my parents down the hall! I couldn't help but laugh. The music was so huge, so real, so present, that I felt like the whole house could hear it. Just amazing.
What was the first setup that you ever heard that simply vanished? Or, perhaps more simply put: what was the first headphone setup that you did not hear?
