strooper
Like all of us, I'm looking to get the best sound I can afford. I feel like I'm getting pretty close, but wish I'd avoided a couple of dead ends and bad decisions along the way.
- Location
- Saint Paul, Minnesota
- Interests
- Hockey, woodworking, music (in that order) and cheesy movies like Super Troopers (hence strooper).
- Headphone Inventory
- What I own now:
Toneking Lucifer
Drop + JVC WX1
ATH-ADX5000
ATH-WP900
ATH-AWAS
-----------------------------------------------
Others I've owned:
Beyerdynamic T90
Audio Technica ATH-W5000
- Source Inventory
- Woo Audio WA7
Ibasso DX220 Max
Ratoc Audio Lab rex-keb02ip
- Cable Inventory
- It took me awhile, but I've learned that MY money is best spent on better headphones, better sources and more music, not cables. I'll pay to get balanced cables, a better length, and/or less microphonics, but not for super special secret formula metals or 2^n (with n >= 3) braids. If other people hear improvements that justify the cost, I'm happy for them. I don't and would much rather buy music with the difference in $$$.
- Other Audio Equipment
- Wonderfully "broken in" early Rotel amp, Thorens turntable and floor-demo ADS speakers purchased with money earned mowing lawns, bagging groceries, mopping floors and selling plasma--lots of plasma. All approaching 40 years old and still going strong (several drive belt and needle replacements notwithstanding).
- Music Preferences
- Things my kids will discover in 20 years.
- Gender
- Male
- Gear-Fi
- Festool woodworking equipment. The audiophile of wood.
- Occupation
- Professor
