Source Inventory	Sanza Clip and Fuze, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S (Fascinate) with VooDoo sound drivers, Sansung Galaxy Nexus. Wantlist: A good desktop DAC after I get my house...and a new desk.
Other Audio Equipment	Use my Nuforce Icon 2 as a speaker amp mostly, driving some vintage Design Acoustics bookshelf speakers with a cheapo sub on the line out. That's it. All my other vintage stuff was given away or failed on me.
Audio-Related Tweaks	After I started reading Head-fi, I actually ported the cups of and did the Grado style rear driver hole opening mod on a pair of Skullcandy Ti's that I had bought before I knew better. Incredibly, it worked. Improved bass response, better clarity and soundstage. Took them from what I would now call about a 1.5/10 to at least a 4/10. Anemic waste of space to functional in about 30 minutes. Still crap compared to everything else I have now, but I only had my AKG K81s at the time, they were hurting my head, I was waiting to receive my Martin Custom-Grado SR125i , and I had just read about 200 pages in the Grado mod threads.
Music Preferences	Jazz, funk, punk, blues, classic rock, and instrumental/electronic beats of many kinds. Favorite bands or performers at the moment: The Bad Plus, Stanton Moore (Trio), Madlib (his Jazz stuff), Garage a Trois, Grant Green, Jimmy Smith, Flying Lotus, Bonobo, Radiohead, The Clash, Gorillaz, RJD2, MMW, EST, Blockhead, Galactic, Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, Black Flag, Fugazi, The Evens........
