Newest as of a few days ago: Tikka T1X in 17HMR. Immediately removed factory stock, put it in KRG Bravo FDE chassis, and added cheek pad, muzzle brake, longer bolt knob, scope mounts, and scope. The scope is the one which was on the Sig Cross, decided to transfer it to the Tikka and upgrade...

I've often thought about a .30cal air rifle... the FX Dreamline series or Edgun Leshiy 2 would be the ones interested in. But would rather spend that kind of money on different firearms. Have a couple .22 airguns that I enjoy quite a bit for backyard precision shooting - a Benjamin Cayden PCP...

How the final version of my Savage 10 looked before I let it go: MDT TAC21 chassis with Masterpiece Arms EVG grip and a Magpul buttstock. Also upgraded the extractor parts since it was very weak and an issue. Wanted a lighter .308 bolt gun setup and went with this for a significant bit of...

Stock and un-eq'd I'd agree on the AH-D5200... but modded with the Yaxi Alcantara pads they are as punchy as any Fostex with my setup I've had including the TH-X00 Purplehearts and same for the older Denon AH-D2000 and are the least siblant/treble peaky of all the Fostex/Denon biodynas (AH-D2000...

I've only heard the Atticus and Ori on my setup and not directly compared with the modded AH-D5200, but have directly compared with my modded Fostex TH-X00 Purpleheart and neither has anywhere close to the subbass punch & presence of the Purplehearts. The AH-D5200 with Yaxi TH610 Alcantara pads...

The right DAC and tubes with EQ and the Yaxi Alcantara TH610 pads are what really make the AH-D5200 stand out to me and why I got rid of the Fostex TH-X00 PH... prefer the bit more expansive and layered sound with excellent clarity and improved mids from modded AH-D5200 on such setup over modded...

I think photography would be the most analogous hobby to headphones/music listening one could do as it can cover both the equipment and media/subject which you are trying to observe/enjoy/give your spin on.

Everyone is different... I much prefer modded Fostex TH-X00 PH and Denon AH-D5200 to the ZMFs I've heard. The Fostex / Denon biodyna drivers have a fuller, more solid & pleasant sound to me along with more perceptable and visceral subbass presence.

Still enjoying the D5200 - no itch to buy any new headphones or audio related stuff at all. Modded D5200 and Porta-Pros are all I need and am satisfied with to enjoy music and shows/movies. The past two months have been into custom modding a 4WD Kyosho Inferno 1/8th RC buggy... already spent...

Can't help with MacBook file/play input but do like how an optical media player sounds over laptop running digital files. Use Xbox One as my optical drive for CDs, DVD-As, BD-As, and BD media... Xbox ONE -> RME ADI-2 -> Project Ember II with Sovtek 6H30P-EB tube is my preferred setup using...

I'm fine with wearing mask and practicing responsible healthy habits, but am not fine with getting vaccinated.

Was seriously planning on coming, but if vaccinations required then will not be.

Tried the suede, didn't like what they did to the sound at all... liked their comfort though. Would be interested in trying the elite velours if they keep comfort of the suede and but don't butcher the sound. Haven't heard anyone talk about how they sound on an X3 but should be the best...

I like warm...and my work setup right now is pretty warm: AH-D5200 w/ Yaxi TH610 Alcantara pads + Project Ember II w/ 6H23P-EB + DFR + EQ (both Loki and Foobar)... + alien pop :L3000:... Less warm than a Purpleheart though... and I actually really like it for that reason... much more control...

With the stock pads on D5200 I did find treble a bit bright, tried the Yaxi TH610 pads based on my experience with experiementing with pads on the TH-X00 and the Alcantara version worked very well for it - toned down and smoothed the treble, expanded the sound stage a little bit more, and...
