Apparently someone mentioned my headphone collection to Steve recently, and he immediately became interested in learning more about what might possess someone to become such a headphone nut. We arranged a time to have a chat, and had quite a long chat at that. We covered many aspects of the high end audio hobby and life in general, most of which are not addressed in his blog piece which by necessity needed to be concise and on point. Thanks, Steve. I'm looking forward to meeting you one day, presumably at a headphone-related event! http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-20011461-47.html?tag=cnetRiver

Nice one! I gathered you had a lot of headphones, but didn't realise just how many. Is there a high-res version of that picture anywhere?

HAHA I was thinking when did he have a blog talking about audio!That's a really impressive collection. I've seen pictures of gear over the years and it never fails to impress!
post #15 of 547/25/10 at 8:55pmWe understand. The commenters over at CNet though are likely not going to understand. I hope they don't get rude.
