Hello! I just bought some cans on here and have been getting serious lately about headphones, so thought it time to drop an intro thread.
I am an audiophile geek. My main system is:
As far as headphones, I have had a set of SR60's for years and LOVED them! I was going to get some RS1's but I was at AXPONA and had the pleasure of hearing the Oppo PM-2's. A lot of hemming & hawing later, I just pulled the trigger on a set of GH1's as I truly do enjoy the "Grado sound".
I also have a Bottlehead Crack w/Speedball on order and picked up a set of Crackheadphones here on the forum to play on that. I apologize in advance, but I am NOT a Sennheiser fan! They sound flat and lifeless to me. Lots of detail but zero emotion, hence the Crackheadphones.
As soon as diyAudio releases the Pass headphone amp, I will probably pick up a board to build one of those eventually as well.
That's the 10,000 foot view and I look forward to interacting with y'all as I venture down this new path!
