Don't you just love headphones. Of course you do, you must do if your visiting Head-Fi.

I was out on Friday morning with my Panasonic SL-CT790 and Ety-ER4Ps. I was going commando that day so no amplifier. I was running straight out of the player itself.

I had a rummage around the shelf before I left home and came up with "Hot Rail" from Calexico.


The last track on this cd is a binaural recording of some railroad workers. There is a worker shouting to his fellow workers and there is also a road drill in use. I swear when I heard it, I turned around and looked and for a moment I really believed that there was some construction going on around me.

To me, this is what makes it all truly worthwhile.

Enjoy the music is what it's all about. Glad to hear you had an awesome headphone moment Mick. I love those times when you hear something like that for the first time.

Mine was zoning with my old HP-2's to Pink Floyd. I felt like I was at the concert. It was magical.

The first time I listened to my R10's I thought I was hearing things behind me as well.

"Going Commando" = no amp? LOL, I like that new Head-fi version of that analogy.

A few months ago with headphones on I pressed play on the CDP and thought I felt the bass in my feet through the floor. I instantly whipped off the phones thinking my speakers were pounding out the tune, but they were silent.
