Wish the loudness war would stop so we could get dynamics. It's really annyoing that they keep compressing music when all it does is make it worse.

But I've fallen in love. Even if I get my money back, what could I buy that would excite me the same way it does?


I was once in love too. But the love started to fade after a while, and eventually I almost completely lost interest. Now my Stax is gathering dust really. Nowadays I just use ok-ish speakers, and I use headphones only when on-the-go.

Heck, should have sold it cheap to me. If I recall correctly, you're in Netherlands aren'tccha?
My Stax is now in its way to repair, I just hope they are fixed before my CDs arrived...
I can't use speakers, thus why I use dem earspeakers so often.

Nah, I'll just keep 'em as a memento of my past head-fi hobby.

Mhmm, the gaping, flaming hole in your pocket is quite an expensive souvenir. XD


Nah, I have money. After I stopped with head-fi I don't really have any expensive hobbies anymore. Just whisky at the moment, but I give myself a monthly budget of 40 euros, so that's not too bad for my wallet.
