About Me:

Sometimes I'm on Head-Fi. Often times I'm not. At all times, music comes first.

What I do for a living:

Something top secret, involving paperclips, out of date Marmite, pretty ponies, and the letter Q.

Headphone Inventory

Current Stable:
----------------------------------------
-*Beyerdynamic DT880/250 ('05)
-*Shure SRH440
-MEElectronics S6 (heavily EQ'ed)

*Permanent members


Evaluating:
----------------------------------------
-RHA MA-350


Gone:
----------------------------------------
-Audio-Technica ATH-M50S (bought the hype, mistake)
-Grado SR225i (too colored, limited genre coverage)
-MEElectronics A161P (too much midrange, too warm + lacking treble)

Audio-Related Tweaks

Both my headphones are calibrated to my hearing curve using PiccoloNamek's EQ guide. My S6 is also EQ'ed, and it's a shocking transformation! Not quite neutral, but DAMN!

Also, I've affixed felt over the drivers of my SRH440 to make them more comfy. It works!

Music Preferences

Classical (all periods)
Rock (classic, prog)
The odd song from other genres
