Used to have an audiophile setup built around Magnaplanar speakers but now just a consumer-grade living room system. After a few months with headphones I find it is only suitable for very casual listening. |

Tried the HD555 foam mod and did not like it. Caused harshness on female vocals. Undid it. |
| Music Preferences |
Vocal standards, small combo jazz, chamber music, acoustic blues. |

Android phone. Samsung Series 3 Chromebook. |
