Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
Happy holidays everyone! I fired up the darth Grados over the holidays visiting my folks and darn it one of the connector wires shorts out a bit. Crazy that it does that when I don’t touch it for months! Well it still sounded great when I kept my head still ha, but someday I’ll definitely get...- Jahn

Happy Thanksgiving all! Just letting y’all know that the Tower of Power is still alive and well! It’s at my folks’ place now and I fired it up and it still sounds super amazing (the Darth Grados by Headphile and the Maestrobated Melos SHA-Gold kill!):- Jahn

The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
Here in the NYC oculus mall they have a presentation of the new Orpheus. You can't play it (open cans do badly in the mall) but they said you can demo it on Prince Street here in NYC. Worth a trip over maybe! Here are some pics of the display: They had the $2k DAC there too, whoa!- Jahn

Before and after pics - CURSE YOU HEAD FI!
Hi folks! The sins of the father shall be passed down to his children. Both my kids listen to music like crazy. I'm tempted to bring the Tower of Power out of retirement so the kids can listen to their fave songs like they've never heard it before. Are the ages of 12 and 8 too young for Darth...- Jahn

Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
Well my kid's old enough to want headphones of his own - he wanted beats of course, but I managed to compromise with him by getting the urban-oriented Sennheiser Urbanite XL Instead. Yes, lots of bass, but not offendingly so.- Jahn

Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
Well some inner ear stuff got messed up so it's not just tinnitus, it's also high frequency hearing, so loud or harsh sounds make music sound like a broken megaphone, not fun. Yep those days are over. But hey, I'm still slinging HD25-1 pros to work but these days I don't stand out as much, being...- Jahn

Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
Still alive over here, but still have a bum ear and tinnitus due to a inner ear infection a while back- no, not due to headphone listening! But yeah it makes audiophile-level listening a moot point. Still have the Tower of Power, but I gave it to my dad as his retirement gift. Now he gets to...- Jahn

Hi all! Ayep ye olde Tinnitus is still doing a number on me, at this point it's pretty much here to stay so not too much enjoyment comes out of firing up the Tower of Power anymore. Hmm, my kid's 8 now, either I can sell the Melos SHA-Gold and HP2 rig, or just hold onto it hoping that in a few...- Jahn

Thanks guys, it really does mean a lot. You know what, I spent enough time this year moping about this situation, I think I'm just going to pound on my guitar and drown that crap right out, maybe concentrate on putting together some music earlier than usual. ...- Jahn

Official NYC Spring 2011 Meet March 19th
Hmm! I'm going to see if I can sneak off to this one! I have a few goodies to donate to the auction too, like the original Darth Beyers (unfortunately with a bad connection out one earpiece, probably just a wiring thing) and the AKG K81DJs I won from the first international Head-fi meet...- Jahn

I'm going to guess Sennheisers desperately NEED recabling !!!
Amps are key. My Darth Beyers sound like crap direct from the macbook, even from the headphone out of the Apogee Duet. But stick even a Hornet (or best of all a Melos) in between? Wakes that can right up!- Jahn
