Well, where to start? A little background first I guess...
An old man, or at least I feel so. Serving my 17th year in the U.S. Army, currently in "The Stan". Actually live in Germany with my wife and two kids. I play bass, but I'm not a bass head by any means. I just love to play the instrument that holds the music together and makes the women shake it on the dance floor.
I have been practicing with a bass headphone amp while deployed, as not to bother anybody, and it's easier to learn new songs if you have the song and what you are playing going into headphones due to the level of detail. I was getting sick of my old, cheap cans (samson, who cares about the model, they went in the trash!) and was looking for something that would give me better sound quality, but didn't want to spend too much. I asked Mr. Google about what I was looking for, and he sent me to Head-fi, that's one wise man! I started reading a lot of reviews and looking around, settling for the ATH M50. I also got the FiiO E6 and L9 LOD for my ipod. I was quickly impressed. As I said in the E17 thread, "holy $%^#!, this little thing can do that! I used it for a while, and then I was hooked.
About two weeks ago, I found the thread on the E17. I was impressed by the little FiiO, and read the whole thread on his "big brother". If you haven't seen it, it's a looooong thread. About 3/4 of the way through it, I decided to get the E17 and hook it up to my MBP. It came in a few days ago, and I'm even more impressed.
So now I am hooked on Head-fi, and can see this is probably going to get expensive! Don't know where I am going to go from here, but I am so very happy that I found Head-fi and took the plunge. My music is that much more enjoyable now!
I would like to thank every member who has posted in the many threads I have read so far, for all their info and reviews. As I understand, all reviews are in fact an idividual's view, but it has helped a whole lot. I look forward to becoming a part of the Head-fi community.
