About Me:

Who cares?

What I do for a living:

Marketing. Sales. Operations. Toilet cleaning. Whatever someone will give me money for.

Headphone Inventory

Grado: ***PS1000, Yes, put me in that box, love Grado. Like but Dustballed: 325is, sr80, iGrado.
LCD-2*** Have supplanted the Denon's except for the loudest environs. Since the Lyr arrived, it's the LCD-2s and the PS1000's.
Ultrasone: . ****900Pro with F7/E9 at work. Like, but Dustballed: HiFi 580. 750 Pro
Sennheiser: the white iPod ones. 280 (gave to spouse), 380 (rarely listen). (Closed)
Sony: V6. Nice for the electric piano.
Dustballed: Etymotic: 6 something. not sure but I they are a bit harsh and uncomfortable.
****Denon AH-D5000 my main squeeze when the spouse has the TV on.
**Klipsch S4i (for gym with rockboxed Clip+, GREAT bass)
Dustballed: Bose earbuds with black/white cable. Heresy to like bose but these are a good muzak phone when you t want aural penetration but still need to hear outside.
**Yuin PK3 to listen to my laptop in bed when spouse sleeps, not music generally, just videos.

*indicates the ones I currently listen to a lot

Source Inventory

CD, Apple Lossless, AAC, MP3, FLAC.

Cable Inventory

The fewer the better.
OK, I have a special order Milland Cable for the Usone 900's sounds great, but the fabric wrap is pretty microphonic.
Have ordered an output cable from Blue Jeans for my Apogee Duet. Update: It IS a HUGE upgrade!
Everything else comes from Monoprice. Using Coax for Audio rocks. (Stiffly).

Power-Related Components

Voltage regulators and conditioners

Other Audio Equipment

Hell seriously? Isn't there a character limit on these things? Krell, Nakamichi, Martin-Logan... sorry I'm already bored.

Yep, been there done that.

Music Preferences

20/21st Century Classical. Synth Pop. Trance. Punk. Vocals.
