So I'm interested in hearing from other folks re) that set of headphones that occupies a special place in your equipment inventory. You know...the cans that you just can't bring yourself to sell (or for that matter pitch!!) because it would be like putting your dog to sleep.
For me, it's the AKG K-240M...I use them in my work rig now. These cans helped me to understand what hi-fi audio was all about...and that was with a headphone jack on my old NAD preamp!! I only recently replaced them as my main headphones in my home rig, and although I'm sure that I could sell them, I just can't bring myself to do so. I had them at home the other day, and I really enjoyed giving them a spin in my home system again. At least they are continuing to provide me with a pleasing audio experience at work. In fact - given that I listen to music about 8 hours/ day at work - I'm probably getting better use out of them now than I was before.
Sort of like putting a good horse out to stud, I guess...
How about the rest of you....???
