Hey, neighbor! I live like 10 minutes away and was surprised to learn an audio company is so close. A coworker and I plan to stop by, but we don't have much headphone gear to bring. He's just getting into the hobby and not sure what to buy. Most of my audio stuff is home stereo related, but...

Recently getting into headphones a little bit, and ordered a portable DAP/Amp (Walnut V2). I'd like to post pics of my stuff and the Walnut...

First post - new to the site. I've been into Hi-Fi and vintage audio for a long time... refurbishing vintage speakers, etc. I'm starting to get into headphones a little bit. I mostly plug into 2 channel receivers/amps listening to CD and Vinyl. I'm kinda picky about sound quality, so I've never...
