What a story!

I'd love to see pictures of your journey – a photo of your current collection, maybe?

Also, not to pry, but what exactly do you do for a living that makes all this possible? I think I have pretty good taste in 'phones, and I'd love to have my own Orpheus system, but none of that changes the fact that I could never hope to be able to afford one. The best sounding phones I've heard thus far, the Grado RS-2's, sadly are still out of the realm of possibility for me.

In any case, kudos to you for having the drive and determination to make your dreams a reality.

i heard the D5000s recently and was disappointed - just generally sounded thin and small. maybe my expectations were too high.

you seem to be selling a lot of gear. what will you keep.

Nice write up, its been a while since i have heard the HF-1, and reading this thread made me take them out of the drawer, and, Hell Yeah!

I actually prefer them more than the HP-2 and GS-1000.

It is a really fun can, as i think they are more fun than my semi-vintage Rs-1 but then again the rs-1 is more about smoothness and SQ. IMO...

Would be sweet if you posted some pictures of the grados you have/had.

I hope the pictures pass threw the Firefox ****/popup blocker

Your still going to have a really really nice stable of headphones.

Heh, I envy you. My journey is on hold until funds are much healthier but I have to say my choices of Staxes and K1000s are still wowing me like no others, however, there are still many cans to try.

Great posts. I believe you have the ability to just listen and critique without letting money spent cloud your judgement. Out of the limited headphones I've tried, Grados have also sounded the best to me. The only thing keeping me away is their comfort. I can't stand having them on for more than 30 minutes to 1 hour.
