Such a great video Jude!! Paola did a fantastic job at interviewing you!  It's amazing how much the industry/website/products have evolved and changed since I joined several years back.  I can only imagine how different it is from back in the very early internet days. It's great to have this as a sort of backdrop.   I love the whole idea of the member interviews.  It definitely captures much of the spirit of that meet.  This whole video is just so spot on! And I must humbly thank you for the wonderful shout-out!!

^^2. And David, you deserve it mate. Lord knows how many times I have read and reread your writing and that has helped me shape my tastes and preferences for the class of HPs that I now own (and hopefully should add over time).

Being a member for over 11 years ,this is one of the best video & threads . Mike Dias had a great Idea in doing this,His wife Paola did a great job interviewing Jude.
No real need to comment the Video says it all but surprised no mention of sites like Innerfidelity & others that do online reviews.
I am glad to be part of this great community.

This episode was just great.
 
Despite all the gear, I think the human aspect of the hobby is the most important. I mean, here are literally millions of people (1.5 million still qualifies as millions ) all unified in one aspect. Music comes a close second.

Great stuff and worthy of being a good documentary. But let's not kid ourselves completely and also see that Head fi is also a business as well. Perhaps a huge business. But over all, lots of fun in this hobby and the enthusiasm of the members is wonderful.

No it's not, it's a gang!  And like all gangs, we even have our own gang sign!
