| About Me: |
Born unexpectedly. |
| Interests (Hobbies, favorite activities, etc.): |
Learning whatever I didn't know the day before. |
| What I do for a living: |
Not screwing up too badly. |
| Headphone Inventory |
Sennheiser HD-800, AKG-702 (2nd time), Hifiman HE-5LE. Owned and sold: Sennheiser HD-650; HD-600 (will buy again); AKG 702; Denon D-5000. Tried but didn't buy: Beyerdynamic T1, Ultrasone Edition 8, Grado PS1000, Denon AH-D7000, Hifiman HE-6. All excellent with distinctive and positive characteristics, just not for me. |
| Headphone Amp Inventory |
La Figaro 339 (various tubes), a great, great amp!; Audio-gd C-2SA (upgraded volume pot and internal wiring); Audio-gd NFB-11.32; Shanling PH-3000 (x2), an underestimated best-buy in amps; Darkvoice 3322 (a s@#$-load of different tubes), beautiful sound and noiseless performance. [No sinophobia, or xenophobia, in my family tree.] Threshold 400A (for the HE-5LE). |
| Source Inventory |
1. Audiomecca Mephisto IIX transport & Enkianthus X MK. II DAC; Exemplar-Denon 2900 SACD; VPI TNT MK. V, JMW 12.5 arm, ZYX Airy-1000 cartridge (home rig). 2. MacBook Pro (USB); Audio-gd DI; Audio-gd NFB-3 3. MacBook Pro; M2Tech HiFace; TubeMagic D1 DAC |
| Cable Inventory |
Ridge Street; Pure Note; Virtual Dynamics; Locus Design Group (USB x2) |
| Power-Related Components |
Various. Cables are all massive, anaconda-like suckers. (Scares the crap out of visitors to my music room when they look down.) Presently working with county executives to erect my own, audio-dedicated power station. |
| Other Audio Equipment |
An embarrassing (and unnecessary) amount. |
| Audio-Related Tweaks |
False idols, incense burning, chanting, virgin sacrifices, whatever works. |
| Music Preferences |
Like Buddy Rich, I am allergic to most Country music, except by Ray Charles, k.d. lang or Alabama. Classical, Jazz, and the great rock bands from the 60s, 70s & 80s all bring me a lot of joy. |
| Interests (non-headphone) |
Dying as expected and not a second before. |
| Gear-Fi (Favorite Non-Audio Gear & Gadgets) |
My wife's chest! |
