Just want start a count to see how many headphones people here have. May be someone can start one on amps, it'll be intresting to see the results.

 

[coolvij]

I only am at level 3

but the caption for level 4 concisely states my hi-fi situation right now.....

 

[raymondlin]

coolvij, look at your post count! you are on 999!

 

[coolvij]

No longer! wow - being over 1,000 posts feels............................................. .......well, the same as being under 1,000 posts.

I feel slightly icky, tho - this really should be Neruda's honor.....

(jude don't count.....he IS this forum....it's not fair

)

 

[hongda]

is there a price limit on the phones or something? or do stock phones, and cheapos like Jensens count? =)

 

[coolvij]

no stock phones OR cheapies.......

I say that only because otherwise nearly everyone of the regulars here would be able to be in Level 8 - really no point then, no?

 

[BenG]

Yeah only two, soon three, then awh ****.

7506 for portable, computer, monitoring, and occasional dumNbass heavy stuff on main.

580 for main system

 

[TerriblySorry]

2 pairs: one for music, the other for my computer/tv/midi-keyboard.

 

[thomas]

ultra portable- e888
portable/school- SR80
computer/amp testing- Koss r/80 (got for free)
music- A/200, HD600

 

[DanG]

I didn't want to have to select the first option, so I chose 2: my Alessandro MS Pro and my Sony MDR-E888LP.

 

[joelongwood]

I have 10 headphones now............and two more on the way– the MDR-CD1700s and the AKG K501s. I'm definitely in headphone heaven!

Sheesh Vij, at this rate you will rocket ahead of Jude...

Sometimes I wish I knew all the stuff I do now about headphones. Back in 1994, I could have got an Optimus cd 3400 and maybe a pair of HP-1's, and then saved all the money I expent on crap on a good amp and some other stuff.

Now, I really need to figure out how to get another 300 dollars to pay off my credit card and maybe get me a nice new piece of hardware. And now, I am also calculating the costs of getting a NAD music system, experimenting with open baffle speakers and getting and MG Head. If I knew back then I would probably have all the stuff now. Anybody knows where can i find a time tunnel or something like that

I really need to fix the last six or seven years of my life.

As for headphones, how about this: I have some really moded SR-60, for street and office use, the MS-1 for home use and the Plugs for when I work at home. And yet, I don't think I have enough. I really need to get me the MSPro, or at least the MS-2, one of JMT amps and perhaps another 100 CD's.

Anyway, it's depressing sometimes to see how expensive it is to be an audiophile

depending on whether I count the Sony MDR80T.

The scarey thing is that 3 have been purchased since this board came on line (or very close to it). The HD600s (warm and fuzzy) the K1000s (killer resolution) and the DT831s that I just wired Jan the money for! The question is, are you guys a good influence or a bad influence? (I think good, but I could be delusional, so approach with caution).

I am actually money ahead. I had to cancel my main dive trip (to Fiji) this year because of the crunch at work. That pays for a lot of headphones. Besides, if you think that audio gear can soak up money, go check out a dive shop some time!

coolvij, please don't do a speaker poll. That is a true disease with me, and I don't really want to know (I just want to find the time to get the next set finished). [edit: oops, sorry Raymond. I thought that vij had started this one. My duh]


Cover your ears!

 

[dhwilkin]

So does having that Ety 4P->S adapter cable count as one headphone or two? And would the Koss KSC-35 count or not?
